So far, this Eurobaskets most pleasant surprise.

Yep. Given that both Porzingis and Timma are young, I hope they stay strong for the future.

We have the first two pairs:
Slovenia-Latvia
and
Italy-Serbia

Spain-Turkey 31-25

Turkey still in the game

Turkey still in the game

Ugly game.

How long will NBA teams let Porzingis go with his national team? Very tall men tend to get injured, so I'm guessing after he has a quite serious injury, he will be red-flagged for the summers.

Im getting stressed out just by looking at the face of Turkey's coach.

Imagine what he is going through.

Good effort by Turkey.  Spain goes through to the next round.

And the referees listening to him 40 minutes 

OMG Russia dominating Croatia. Unexpected game, poor Androslav.

Here is the schedule



Greece to play with Russia, unless the Croats go on fire for the last 5 mins.

Update: game over, updated the image

@dario
Thanks guys, we really got our but kicked last night.
I underestimated the Russians (and the Greeks), they had their game, especially Shved 27p/12a (adjusted I would guess that is like 38p and 16a) that was enigmatic throughout the whole game.

I'll stick to my 10-year long reason why we don't advance further in these competitions:
We need a penetrating guard with the ball, who can also be able to dictate the tempo of the game.

I have 2 years to cool off from NT, and I'm grateful for it. Maybe then by 2019, our prospects/young talent: Bender, Žižić, Zubac, Hezonja, Šarić make leaps. Also maybe we naturalize an unknown American lead-guard since we can't produce one for 15+years, and this time more successfully than for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Stockton.

We were supposed to have an orthodox way to the finals (Russia-Greece-Serbia) and it turned out to be a very orthodox EB exit for us.
