Iranian Basketball team Olympic Thread

[EKBATAN]

so what happened? i thought the game was today

[Noveen11]

I hope we play well and make a good game out of it....

[Demis-11]

that guy holden is a good player..he hit the jumper to win eurobasket 07 for russia

the us team could use a player or two like him...an american in europe who knows the international game well..if you ask me..carmelo is the most well internationally adjusted player in the squad...guys like holden and jeremiah massey of real madrid would be great us players as overseas representatives...

nice effort guys...i wish you the best of luck in the remainder of the tournament...greece got smacked by spain again ...but i think well advance if we get points off germany, angola and china

Lithuania has Linas Kleiza, the NBA player from the Denver Nuggets. He hit the 3 pointer against Argentina that basically won the game for them. He's a really good player, I don't know who on Iran can guard him.

god its gonna be so wierd rooting against him for the first time

[RahmanRezai]

I updated the first post.

Lithuania is going to be even harder than Russia.

They depend on their 3 point shooting. So if they are having a bad they when it comes to the 3 pointers and if Iran doesnt choke one of the quarters like against Russia, we have a chance.

Full Time 71-49
-Iran Missed too many free throws.
-Russia cheated with american Holden
-Iran gave 2 many turnovers.
-Stuffed up bad 1st quarter.
btw. Iran got 1 point from the match. y?

Damn that pisses me when there is mercenery players it should be illegal to do that, it kills sport and kills the spirit of the game, i hope Russia loses all their games for having a mercenery in their team.

i dont get it, why did each of the losing teams get a point?

from nbcolympics:

"The competition begins with a preliminary round, in which each team plays the other five teams in its group once. This is also known as "round-robin" play. Teams receive two points for a victory and one point for a loss (no points for a game lost by forfeit). Upon conclusion of the preliminary round, the top four teams in each group advance to the quarterfinals with a chance to win a medal; the fifth- and sixth-place teams from each group are out of medal contention. "
