A bit over three hours until game time now. Can't **** wait. Got my Hellas gear (overpriced and **** quality but yolo!)

I had heard on a podcast that the fanduel app was actually streaming these games. I'm going to check that out and hope they have this one.

Greek guards struggling not to dribble the ball of their feet. Terrible performance so far but only down 9.

They can’t even get it past halfcourt out of a timeout.

I was gonna say, I've seen better guard play on our summer league teams :lol:

They can’t even get the ball to Giannis. Imagine if Giannis has one decent guard his national team career. All of them have had a major deficiency in one way or another.

This has been pretty close to the norm so far from what I've seen from everyone outside Giannis this tourney. If Giannis doesn't have a good game this will likely be a boatrace.

Sorry but Greece sucks besides Giannis, that coach better let Gianni’s try and take over, that’s their only chance

I seriously don't get the Sengun hype tho. Dude is 1/9 right now only attempting paint shots

Looking like a game where Turkey has the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th best players of the game.

Giannis hasn’t been good but his teammates have been truly awful. Like can’t even dribble across halfcourt awful.

Chad34 · Post #1652 » by **Chad34** » Fri Sep 12, 2025 6:36 pm

Giannis needs to boycott playing for Greece ever again, they’re complete morons. He needs the ball period

Chad34 · Post #1653 » by **Chad34** » Fri Sep 12, 2025 6:38 pm

This coach is terrible lol and so is 10

Chad34 · Post #1654 » by **Chad34** » Fri Sep 12, 2025 6:38 pm

Giannis needs the ball in space they’re triple teaming him in the post

Chad34 · Post #1655 » by **Chad34** » Fri Sep 12, 2025 6:40 pm

Point Giannis, nothing else is acceptable

Chad34 · Post #1656 » by **Chad34** » Fri Sep 12, 2025 6:41 pm

These guys can’t hit wide open shots

FrieAaron · Post #1657 » by **FrieAaron** » Fri Sep 12, 2025 6:43 pm

The good news is even if they go on to lose this game Greece still has a pretty decent shot to medal I would say.

I think Finland beat them too honestly. They eliminated Serbia already.

Sengun is a beast, but he also has a much better supporting cast. Giannis only has scrubs for teammates.

TonySnellJr · Post #1660 » by **TonySnellJr** » Fri Sep 12, 2025 7:01 pm

Giannis getting zero calls today.
