Iran got nailed! YIKES! Good experience for our boys though. God willing they will come good in time for Beijing

[Nokhodi]

They did real bad in the first quarter, but got much better as the game progressed. Hadadi was very good. Jaber did not play at all.

Yeh I wonder why. I think its because they are keeping him for the Beijing matches whereby they will again encounter Australia in their group.

Andrew Bogut, David Andersen and Nathan Jawai did not play

unfortunately we have 3 men team !, Samad Nikkhah, Hamed Hadadi and Mehdi Kamrani !
if one of them play bad (like Kamrani in today's match) we will lose !

we beat Italy without their main players, Bargnani, Belinelli, Gallinari, Basile, Marconato, Bulleri, Mordente , ...

I heard the Italian team we beat was something ridiculous like their U-21 or U-18 team. Not even close to their national team.

no, it is not correct.
the Italian team we beat was Italy National A team but they played without their main players. their coach was Carlo Recalcati (head coach of Italy National A team) for example Luca Garri (olympic silver medalist) played against our TM.

Italy eliminated early in 2006 WC and 2007 EC and they want to build a new team. but they were not under 21 !

[EKBATAN]

Whats with Jaber? He doenst play but for some reason he's always with the team. I hope to see him play in the olympics.
