The 2010 FIBA Basketball World Championship Turkey

[The X]

NZ are out. No surprise though. I'm happy with their showing this World Cup. Really, without even one quality big & still having to rely on Pero's (& Phill Jones') epicness is never a good thing. We could've used Sean Marks out there. Probably wouldn't have made a difference though. Great to see Penney dominate the World Champs. Let's hope Luis Scola scores less so Kirk is tournament's top ppg scorer

I love the fact that there are so many Aussies on this board because you will NEVER hear that phrase anywhere else.

I love the fact that there are so many other nationalities on this board who are ignorant to the fact that Aussies and Kiwis are not the same.

so i predicted all the games correctly so far. i got Lithuania & Brazil winning tomorrow/today. next matchup for the US is Russia, which i find intriguing. Their lack of size could be exploited by Russia, or they could run fast breaks all day and run them out of the gym. most likely the latter in this case.

China will beat Lithuania. Yi Jianlian for 30 points, 10 rebounds.

The last Haka dance at Turkey.

Missed the 2002 NZ. Goodbye NZ.

You Foxtel IQing the games?

Not an option, I don't have an IQ. I can set my VCR to timer record off the AV channel which is a decent enough solution when I need it.

ehhh Yi's achilles' tendon is inflamed. whatever he scores, Kleiza will match. the rest of Lithuania's team is better than China's. but we shall see who is right tomorrow.

[Killer Crossover aka OG]

I'm gonnna support Slovenia now. DRAGIC!

Yeah right, Dragic is now MJ or KingJames in his Team, I forgot Do you not forced to, is a good thing

Damn, a brilliant game by our boys. And goddamn, I hope they beat Turkey, steamrolling or not. They kicked us out at the last Worlds in Top 16. Time for some payback!

....Revenge is sweet, but the payroll is better. That game is very exciting and may hopefully start to win Turkey. Good Luck Turkey

[alisan1381]

Today Lithuania will defeat China with a huge difference but Argentina - Brazil game will be very exciting . Go Brazil !

[koberulz]

Now we know koberulz is fully patriotic mate

Not really. I struggled to care when the Boomers were playing. Now I have zero reason to care at all.

Dragic was impressive in the series versus the Spurs. He totally made Tony Parker look like a basketball noob. I guess he's doing quite well in international stages as well. Looking forward to his next season with PHX.

No question he is a good player, but he is not this leader like Nash or in this category you know So what can the big rip in Basketball
....yeah I am looking forward too (Dragic) with Hedo and Josh Childress together in Suns-Team, that will be funny

[Cartar]

Scola is just beastly.

[Axel The Great]

That's why he's on the Rockets.

[alisan1381]

Damn . Brasil doesnt deserve this .

[Alpha_]

Sorry loss for Brazil.. damn! Scola is a clutch.. He hit two crucial jumpshots to close out the game..

[[Q]]

yeah Scola was pretty non-existant in the 3rd, but boy was he clutch. Looks like Barbosa was gonna bomb Argentina out of the game but the Oberto look-a-like hit those 3s to keep em in it and Scola closed the deal.

[NovU]

Scola the MVP of Euro league. I remember getting excited when the Rockets picked him up for almost free of charge. Imagine him with Timmy Duncan.

[hova-]

What a shot by Teodosic. Spain's out!

[Martti.]

YEAAAAAAH!!!!!! Spain's out!!

Sit, how could you have thought that they'd win it? Rubio sucks.

[Murat]

Slovenia is out! We win! I still can't believe what a big margin! 95-68! We will play against Spain and we are one of the best 4 teams.

[Martti.]

Badger, you'll play Serbia.

[Killer Crossover aka OG]

Now that was a great Game Slovenia had no chance Home advantage is always good Go Turkey Go
