Are there shaping up to be any good games next weekend (Sept 1-3)? When will the matchups be set? I'm struggling to predict it using the FIBA website.

I can make it to pretty much any of them in Manila or Okinawa but I don't wanna sit in Manila traffic for half the weekend to watch China and South Sudan play.

The Friday/Sunday games will almost all be pretty good. The classification games (Thurs/Sat) will be bad but potentially pretty fun (NZ is fun, Finland has Lauri, if DR doesn't make it out of the group they are pretty good and worth watching (I think they'll make it).

The exact games might not be set til the 30th but you can get a pretty good idea of the teams involved.

Okinawa will have the top 2 teams from Groups E & F which should probably be Germany, Australia, Slovenia and IDK Venezuela or Georgia.

Jakarta will have Groups G & H which should be Germany, Brazil, Canada and France.

Everything else is in Manilla so the top 2 in Groups A&B will face off and the top in C&D wil play.

The wiki page has a pretty detailed breakdown of who plays who in the later rounds if you go down to the format section.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_FIBA_Basketball_World_Cup

Best bets for games seem like C1 which will probably be Team USA games and F1 is probably going to get Doncic vs. Aus/Germany barring major upsets.

Probably, though technically they could still squeak through if they win the next 2 and get some help. Probably won't though.

Oh wait Canada played today too. Yeah France is done.

I really don't like how this starting lineup plays for Team USA. If Jackson gets the defensive board, he takes his sweet time to figure out who to pass it to, and it is almost always the nearest open ball-handler (basically everyone but him) instead of a guy further down the floor. And then Brunson doesn't get aggressive in semi-transition, letting Greece get their defense setup. And then there is just so little off-ball movement from Ingram, Bridges, and Ant. And it seems like only Jackson is used in screens.

The second team plays completely different and it is frustrating seeing the contrast between the two.

I wish Zion was healthy enough to play for Team USA. He already scores while triple teamed at the basket, imagine him doing it in FIBA.
