Life, friends, is boring
Just popped into a German basketball forum, and unsurprisingly some people are blaming this loss on Schröder. Yes, blame the guy carrying the whole loving team today. Ugh. I hate people.

"The superfluous, a very necessary thing"
If Gelabale and Kahudi could shoot 3s, our bench's offense would be a lot prettier.

What kind of shot/floater/pass off the backboard was that by Russia??

Things are moving quickly! Someone suggested that, if team chemistry is an issue, the coach should just get rid of Schröder. "With him as our leader, we'll never win anything". People who always hated him are jumping at their chance to get in some borderline racist comments too. Too bad he doesn't have the mental capacity to be a good point guard. "Dennis is just pretty dumb, and fittingly he decided to focus on basketball instead of school. He reminds me of Brandon Jennings, but with less talent."

So, does someone remember the rules? What happens if they somehow manage to beat Spain today?

Is it just point differential? Because in that case either Iceland needs to beat Turkey too or Germany needs to beat Spain by like 70 points.

Some German newspaper said that if they just need to beat Spain to advance. But I have no idea how that is supposed to work.


Also, they will lose by 40, and the coach will be fired.

Well, in that case it would just be "if two teams are tied the one who won their game advances". Because the loser gets a point too, so if they beat Spain they'd both be at 7.

Also I'd be more surprised if there was no evidence of lovely German sports fans getting racist about a black guy running their national team's offense.

edit: Oh, I found it now on Wikipedia

quote:

Rules for classification:
1) Points
2) Head-to-head results
3) Points difference
4) Points scored.

So yeah, if they manage to beat Spain they advance.

I seen possessions where one team is whipping the ball around, in-out-and-around and it's not deforming the defense at all because they're just standing there in zone not bothering to close anyone out

Serbia/Croatia should be a fun game. And Serbia v Spain or France for the title should be really fun, barring upsets and all that.

Serbia definitely has the easier half of the bracket, the only threat I can see is Italy if they have a hot shooting night. I could see any one of France, Spain or Greece coming out of the other half.

It's funny how we get to see coaches actually coaching during timeouts in Eurobasket. Collet was telling De Colo where he was supposed to be and then cut when Batum had the ball in a specific spot.

ya I'm sayin', there's no pick and choose it's just whatever is happening they show. in the america you go to commercial rather than show coach-talk that doesn't do nothing emotionally for the the uninformed viewer
