Eurobasket 2011: Turkey - Poland Starting Now!

it matters if Spain loses today. Then if Turkey wins vs Spain it will come to pt differential between games vs Turkey, Spain and Poland as they all will have three wins. Poland now has -4, Spain +5 and Turkey -1. So if Spain loses vs LT and Turkey wins by 1-9 points, Spain and Turkey would advance. If Turkey wins by 10+ it is Turkey and Poland. Of course if Spain wins today then Turkey's only chance is to pray for GB win vs Poland as that would put tiebreakers between Poland, GB and Turkey with 2 wins each where Turkey has huge point difference advantage. Not over yet as GB certainly can beat Poland.

Sort of like signing a 90M deal and then playing like a lazy, indifferent **** on the court. That's so much better.

Lol you really think AK is capable of playing up to a 90 million dollar contract? You are acting like it's his fault he isn't that good. It was a mistake signing him and it was a forcing him into a role he couldnt produce at.

Not over. Turkey has a +44 point differential, Spain has a +46. That means, if Spain loses today, by anything more than 2 points, if Turkey beats them on Monday, they will advance. Right? In the event of a tie, the team with the highest point differential advances I believe.

in event of three team tie it is games between those teams that count for point differential. See my other post.

I could see GB over Poland. They both have weak big men, so Deng should be able to terrorize the rim with his attacking.

No, I'm not. I'm acting like it's his fault that he has done virtually nothing to work on his game, either from a skills perspective or a conditioning/physicality perspective until last year when he was noticeably stronger. Throw in his total indifference and lack of passion for the game and I could care less what we do with him if we were to sign him. The Jazz should feel the same way. Especially since AK's not cared one bit either.
 
Anyone here going to watch the Lithuania vs Spain match? I need to get some extra lotion from Salmon Hobo for Jonas's performance.

It's about the organization's integrity. You think anyone is going to want to come here if we dupe AK like that, not to mention how some players (not saying I do) may perceive trading Dwill without anyone notifying him.
