Cameroon up by 10 with 8mins left in the 4th! They're 1st in the group right now ahead of Brazil with Montenegro eliminated.

No they needed 28. At 28 they were tied in point differential with Croatia but Croatia had 194 total points, Slovenia already had 196. They'd have needed 29 if they had scored under 102pts but they were already above that.

It was said over and over again Slovenia needs 29 pts, that's why they were also chasing 3's at the end.

"It was said"? Lol what? Yea 29 pts where initially needed, but as I explained in my previous post that changed once Slovenia scored 102pts since total points is the next tiebreaker after point differential. Why are you arguing so adamantly about this when you obviously dont know the rules?

News and reporters kept saying +29 pts and Slovenian NT obviously was chasing 29pts. You don't need to be a smart ass if i'm only stating what was happening in real life. I'm not sure anyone was doing quick calculations on their bench in the last 30 seconds of the game.

I realized I came onto you hard in my last post, my apologies I didnt mean to.
That's my point actually, I just dont understand how nobody on their staff realized that or had anticipated this scenario, when a random idiot like me could do those calculations quickly since they're not that hard it's just a basic addition and substraction. They should have been prepared for any scenario.

This is correct i believe the next tiebreaker is indeed Points For. That said, perhaps Slovenia did not do the math on the fly or nobody did the math on the fly. LOL

Brazil now just down 5. They don’t have to win the game to lock in the #1 spot just not lose over 6 points. If this holds, it’s Philippines vs Brazil then Latvia vs Cameroon in the semis.

Surprise in Spain; Lebanon upsets Angola, 74-70 and will face the hosts in the semis. The other virtual KO game is Poland vs Finland.

Yeah i totally understand if you say you did calculations, my mistake was just listening to reporters, etc... i didn't do them myself obviously.

But at the end it doesn't matter. Slovenia will have to win vs Greece or Croatia either way. So at the end, it's either go home in finals or semi finals. I don't think they can win vs Greece either way.

No matter who gets through from group B, this OQT is wide open, I thought Latvia would easily win it but I was wrong and strongly underestimated the "smaller" teams, just like I did in the other OQTs.

Come on Brazil, let Cameroon win by 3pts, you're already first in the group!

[durden_tyler]

And they did. Bye bye Montenegro!

Giannis not starting against Egypt, which makes sense, they shouldnt need him and he can use the rest to be in optimal shape against Luka and co.

[Sakkreth]

Now Lebanon won vs Angola. These results just make no sense. Well, until you consider the timing of the tournament and inconsistent af refs. I'm afraid they may fk up Olympics.

[HeatIn5]

Where can I watch These games?

[UcanUwill]

Egypt can make this interesting. If they win, that means Dominicans are now out, correct?

Yea it's the same situation as the Cameroon/Montenegro/Brazil group, DR has a worst +/- than the 2 other teams so if Egypt wins, DR is out.

Poland's guards are way over dribbling.

Sochan making an impact. He's like three moves ahead of team mates. Death grip D. Good off ball movement. Good 3s shooting.

Sochan Season 3 will be a problem for opponents.

[G R E Y]

Poland D to O.

Much better ball movement. Up 13. Finland another timeout.

[G R E Y]

Sochan block, D board, takes it coast to coast, physical layup.

Poland up 15.

Tough!

[G R E Y]

'Act of violence ' called on Sochan for slapping away the foot of a guy who stomped on his thigh. Okayyy...
