Besides missing its best players, Slovenia lost by 22 to the U.S. while Brazil lost by 2 playing better basketball. If you were to ask me which one was the favorite, I wouldn't have picked Slovenia.

That was hilarious. They were walking like this for a few meters.
Dragič patting Barbosa's butt when one of the brazilians missed the 1st free throw was also funny.
they deserve each other
If they were in te same group It could have happened that Spain loses to USA by 20 and another day Brazil loses by just 2, and now when Spain would face Brazil, Brazilians would be the favourites just cause they lost to USA by less points. LOL
USA played like that day, Brazil got ing lucky that USA wasn't in destroy mode.
I wouldn't say that. I'd say Brazil played a really terrible game yesterday, especially 1st half. But agree they were no clear favorites vs. Slovenia. They are pretty much even.
Either Brazil or Slovenia can beat the USA in a good day, and in a bad day lose by double digits. But USA is definitely beatable.
good news for spursfans, Splitter could be going home early if they lose to Croatia today.
Spursfans should be rooting for a brazil loss.
Play Croatia today
Yea, thats true. Our team did shoot like 75 % in the first half, so this won't happen everytime. We just sucked against the 2-3 zone. Our guys were lost for 5 minutes. It looked so bad. I really thought we'd lost, cause we're big time chokers when we have a big lead at the break. But we had a 17 point lead with 9 minutes to go and then a black hole.
You are right with that they are pretty much even, but I really think we've got more good players than Brazil. If only Barbosa wouldn't suck so much.
USA is beatable but I don't think Slovenia or Brazil can defeat them. USA team would really need to have a bad, bad night.
And I also think that Brazil will go home after the next round. I just can't see them defeat Argentina or Serbia. I'd like to see them kick Serbia from this WC, but those guys are really young and very good.
I didn't really expect him to. Waste of e-space.
Brazil already qualified for the next round, where they will face either Serbia or Argentina.
I feel very confident we can take our neighbours this time. Our bracket doesnt look so bad afterall. US, Spain, Greece and Turkey all on the other side of the draw.
Greece is a joke these days.
Strongest teams: US, Spain, Turkey, Argentina
brazil came to play today. Splitter playing well
Splitter 4-4 from the line so far
Splitter picks up his 2nd foul with 8:22 in the 2nd quarter; really was a bad call he was posting up and was called for a offensive hook around the waist I guess
on a side note; there is a player on the Croatia team name Popovic
Varejao has become complete
Brazil up 48-35 at half.
If Brazil goes on to win, there will be a couple of very interesting first round games:
Brazil-Argentina
Serbia-Croatia

6pts fg1-4 ft 4-4
