Re: 2024 Olympic BASKETBALL Thread (Pt.3)
Projected QF pairings (with all the “random” draw conditions and probable pt differential)
1 USA vs 8 Greece
4 Serbia vs 5 Australia
3 Canada vs 6 France
2 Germany vs 7 Brazil
That France vs Germany tiff could of course shake up the standings. If France pulls of the (minor) upset, Canada jumps to #2 but if France gets a big blowout win they could take over that spot.
With the condition that QF opponents can’t be previous groupmates, Canasa will be forced to avoid the weaker opponent (Australia) and instead could get France (or Germany/Serbia)
Yes i can’t wait for the final score for the final final point differential. LOL

Man, that Rubio and Gasol brothers era of Spain was so amazing to watch, they were some bad mofos back in the day.

The basque mamba keeping Spain alive
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

Germany cannot play Brazil. US will most likely play Brazil if Germany holds that second best 1st place.

Oh right, i switched in the other spots but not the pots A and D. LOL. So the reward for #2 is a date with Giannis.
Edit: and the scenario was IF Canada was the #2 (very unlikely now)

Re: 2024 Olympic BASKETBALL Thread (Pt.3)
Assume SGA makes these two, then Greece and Spain are exactly tied in points and point differential, meaning Greece would go home on H2H?
