They had a chance at this comeback, but missed too many chances. I really feel bad for Diamantidis, he was playing well until the end.
lol I'm watching the game on my computer and Rocky 2 on TV, the rocky song is playing as Greece is coming back.

Greece tried hard, but they were not good enough. They tanked on purpose and do not have the talent to match Spain. Spain owns them.
Greek NT receives their just reward for intentionally losing to Russia.
I wonder if KBP will show up?
He's working on his excuses. What do you think?
Officiating?
Injuries?
Alien abduction?
Greece en sucks!
Navarro has just srewed Greece again (without any help from the refs).
KBP, show up!
Diamantidis has been the best European defender for 5 straight years and had a great game..
Too bad they have a complex when playing against Spain forget what great players they can be..
They don't forget, they just aren't when compared to class like Spain. But Greece played as good as they could. They just aren't on the level of Spain, even without Pau.
Yes,he can't play defense.That's why he's Euroleague's best defender for 5 years in a row.
During the second half the game was Spain vs Diamantidis.He ran out of gas at the end.That's why Rudy owned him at 2 consecutive possesions.
gg Spain.You own us plain and simple.
KBP,great game by your ing boyfriend tonight.
We could beat USA but can't beat Spain?
They own us,that's true.But it's not like they are in a different universe talent wise..
Greece played well guys, really well, they gave it all. But Spain is simply a better, more complete team. They have class at every position. More importantly it seems like they are a bit more athletic, more flexible, whereas most Greeks are mechanical in their movements. I felt that their bench had played really badly during the tournament, with games often turning when their starters took a breather, but they were class today. Lull especially, showing how much depth Spain has at guard.
This is truly a once in a lifteime period for Spanish sports, maybe even rarer than that. Somehow they have been able to come up with elite teams in football (soccer), basketball, as well as top athletes in important sports for them like tennis and cycling. It's really astounding to watch. And they are, I think, the only team here capable of defeating the Americans. They need a couple of things to go their way, but they have a chance if their bench finally decides to start playing like today.
Greece just got crushed by USA. The Greece team that beat USA is no longer the same. The current team is not good enough or on the level of USA or Spain. They are solid though.
This was the key tonight.Especially in comparison with our bench who sucked big time.
Greece bench had what, 2 points?
3
2 for the savior, Bourousis.
1 for Calathes.
What a game by the savior!
Bourousis is the second boyfriend of KBP.It must suck to be KBP right now.His favorite boys let him down big time tonight.
Yeah, Borousis was quite disappointing. One of the few Greek players who wasn't mentally ready to fight like the others were.
It was the crazy substances the Rockets made V-Span take.
Come on, it's obvious Greece lost on purpose so they wouldn't be blown out by the US later.

Shame he never came over. Wouldabeen a good NBA player. @CSheridanESPN D. Diamantidis retired from Greek national team after loss to Spain
Greece is the most underachieving team of the decade probably. Diamantidis, Spanoulis, Schortianitism, Bouroussis, all great players. All great team but never got big matches. They've lacked the mental strenght that Argentina/Spain has had to win it all, even over the US.
even the team US of current version is no match for Espana tbh.
The fact is that we won all the official games against Greece since the 2006 final of the world championship.
