What do you mean B team, who did Spain missed in this game ??? Llull???


Look at previous Spain's roster and tell me that they have similar quality. It's a worse roster in last 25 years. And more importantly they didn't have any plan to stop Giannis, because that isn't an objective for preparation games. All teams in Eurobasket will clog the paint against Greece.


Spain for sure has a worse team than in previous years but that's due to age. Just like Argentina is now using the "B team" without Ginobili, Scola, Nocioni...

The supporting cast is not what it used to be in the Diamantidis/Spanoulis era, but judging from yesterday they play tough D, they run and move the ball well. Not ready to say Greece is in the medals but they will be tough for anyone who draws them in the elimination rounds.

Its hard to explain to NBA fans but for a lot of those guys these games mean more than the NBA. For millions of fans too (myself included)
This is gonna be a great tournament

Yea Itoudis has a track record of getting the best out of somewhat limited players, like Kyle Hines, Bolomboy etc. That's why I think a guy like Kostas Antetokumbu will benefit from that system. Calathes and Sloukas give the Greeks really solid and experienced guard play too.

The Spanish media says that he chose not to play for Spain in order to prepare for the NBA season.

Kyle Hines has been extremely effective under pretty much HC he has worked, each of them employing very different playing styles. Itoudis is a really good coach, but Kyle Hines' effectiveness is not the milestone that he should be judged upon :)

They are only missing their best player in Rubio, as well as Alocen and Mirotic ***.
Other than that yeah, it is wht it is, Marc and Sergio Rodriguez would still be in the roster if they wanted but its logical they retira from the NT
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

What Kyle Hines did for Olympiacos when we won back-to-back EuroLeague titles was nothing short of impressive.

Kyle Hines is on in on, a legendary player. Kid was stealing MVP from Curry in college from what I heard, all these Steph NBA MVPs are asterisked, cause Kyle Hines was in Russia lol. Just kidding, but not kidding about Kyle Hines being great.

Oh, I agree. He has been a very successful player in Europe.

Sucks that Procida didn't make it.

Spagnolo is still somewhat of a raw talent at this point, only has one season of pro ball under his belt and was essentially in the Spanish 4th division until last season.

So, can Domantas Sabonis pass the ball? I don't think I have seen a FIBA game of him not turning the ball over when passing, he is one of those guys who will do flash and risk passes for the sake of it, like he needs to live up to his name. I don't know man, he looks good, but man his passing can be stupid sometimes.

Isn't he considered a great passer in NBA ? Is worse spacing making him look so much worse ?

He is, that why I am saying this. If this was Biyombo fumbling everything he touches, I woundt act surprise, but this guy Domantas Sabonis, man does he make stupid passes when I watch him play for his country. Maybe he underrates competition, but man, he can overflare his passes to asinine degree. I dont watch him often in the NBA, but I said this in game threads, it seems like every time I would watch him in Indiana (I dont think I have seen a single game of his in Sacramento), he always has a bad game. Like if you asked me, Brogdon - easily best Indiana player before that trade. I know Sabonis puts up stats, but it is just my luck to watch a fellow Lithuanian, that every time I see him, he kinda sucks in the game.

I agree about the supporting cast, but I disagree about labeling it the "Diamantidis/Spanoulis era" if anything that was the Papaloukas era. He was the leader/most important player in those successful teams and with the most great matches in the big wins and comebacks.

Are you trying to ruin Dom's career like you did with DMO?

It was first game in 5 months

Technically he's better passer in NT (final tournaments, no qualifications or friendlies) than father: 19 assist and 15 turnovers versus 70 assists and 70 turnovers
