This Eurobasket has been completely random so far. We have games like Croatia vs Finland and Serbia vs Ukraine coming on, and if Croatia, Serbia loses those, I would not be surprised at this point.

This was just awful from Spain. I mean they clearly wanted to lose and play against us. Last defense in 4/4
We will beat them cause of that

Their effort was very suspect. Tho I am not sure Spain would lose a game like that just to avoid Lithuania. If I am Spain, I do find Serbia being a lil weaker and more suitable opponent, but still... Weird game.

... close though :wink:
Dont really think Spain lost to play Serbia... In normal conditions Spain should beat any team and shouldnt try to avoid no-one. That being said, we are playing awful and wouldnt be surprised if Batum + TP kick us out tomorrow.

Rockets hold his rights but he prefers to stay in Spain playing for Real Madrid for some reason. He even signed a 5 year contract although I'm sure there's an exit clause.

But yea, every summer the Rocket's reps invite him. He always refuses.

And to be fair he only had several good games this tournament. The one against Croatia was by far his best one. He looked pretty bad in some other ones.

He`s had injury issues throughout all the tournament. He has`nt played at his level at all, just in this last game vs Croatia. For the moment I dont see him moving to Houston, he is a big part in a good project at Real Madrid, but maybe if they win a Euroleaue in the following years he might decide to move to the States.

Look at the landslide between USA/Spain and everybody else... Feels like yesterday Argentina was number 1, remember that?
