That's just silly though, can't really blame them for getting defensive.


I mean it isn't that far off. There are some really good players out there and the top 3 are easily Kahwi lebron KD. So there is only 2 spots left for the rest.

I don't think it's easy for KD or Kawhi over Curry at all. He destroys them by basically every impact metric available and just put up a 28/6/7 on 66% TS playoff run (look up those playoff numbers historically). And even if we do take those 3 over Curry, there's no way there are two more guys that are better.

Greece NT is in Belgrade, Serbia right now where they will have their first two proper preparation games.

Tonight, in 12 hours from this post we face Montenegro and I think tomorrow we face Serbia.

Giannis is back.

That's what today's sport articles said.
When the news of his knee problem came out they said that he will miss the Patra tournament(Roumania and UK) and stay out of training for 5 days overall just to be cautious but he will come back normally after that.
More than 5 days have passed...

Let's see if he will play tonight or if the coach protect him for one more game and put him tomorrow against the always medal favourites Serbia.

I think he will play but just for 10-15 minutes tonight imo.

The game will be broadcasted from here



If you have geoblock problems(I doubt it) try the android app of our national webtv.
Search for "ert.gr" in appstore and when the app is installed choose ert1 live.
The whole eurobasket and its preparation games will be broadcasted from this channel and it also has ondemand option.

Fiba Power Rankings update.

http://www.fiba.com/eurobasket/2017/news/power-rankings-update-injuries-killing-mood-but-not-podium-aspirations

Greece went up by one place and is 2nd atm under only Spain which has lost S.Llull who torn his ACL a few days ago.

How many other teams do you know that could get wins of +58 and +28 against FIBA EuroBasket 2017 participants? In just two days!? Greece are obviously playing with something to prove. Big game coming up for them on August 11 against Serbia in Belgrade, that will be a true test of their power.
