Is anybody watching this?  There have been some pretty damn great games already, and it's just the beginning.

Croatia is doing so-so, some surprising results looks like the basketball landscape is changing.

Italy has been playing great and some "outsider teams" have been doing fantastic so its good they upped the number of teams this year. I never thought i'd see Sweden beat Russia by 20 or Turkey going home already.
I'm trying to get tickets for the next stage which is in Ljubljana, which is proving to be quite impossible.

Yeah, it's still early to tell but Italy so far is probably the biggest surprise of the tournament..completely unexpected since the team is quite new and the "NBA stars" (meh ) are all injured, as well as Hackett and others.
Thankfully we have a super experienced coach who's managed to construct a solid team from nothing.  (well, almost.. there are Datome and Belinelli, plus some talented youngsters like Gentile)

Yes!!  Without them silly superstars the team is playing a lot better
(inb4 the magic disappears and we get trashed as usual, it's inevitable xD )
@4treyu Sounds awesome, wish I could watch that one as well!

Now I recognize them, it was in the air 
Congrats to Slovenia. Super Dragic tonight (both of them), whereas Beli really sucked. Plus Italy cannot into rebounds
Well, the match against Croatia will be like a final.

Congrats, well deserved . I'm not even mad, I knew that our team couldn't keep that insanely good physical condition for more than one week.
Thankfully Slovenia with super Dragic won against Grecia so we're not out.. yet |

So close, and yet so far...
Our team played marvellously for 3 quarters, then something really unexplainable happened. 5 minutes without scoring a single point, and 0-15 o.O Then the reaction, but it was already too late. |

Sorry to see you go I'd rather we play Italy, Lithuania is a bad machup for us with their centers  Tomic is such a wuss in the post.

So..Lithuania vs Tony Parker is the final. I'd say well deserved after all.
Italy lost again, and we probably won't even participate to the next world cup, oh well!
