Welll done....Iran has come a long way...am sure we will have more success in the next few games. Go Iran

[1Heesham1]

well done to the lads regardless of the score - as some1 said earlier this is their first olympic game, and now they can take it from here and can only improve further.

[50Toman]

Russia was a size too big for our boys.

Hopefully we'll do better in the remaining games.

[Noveen11]

they're is still time for improvement..

[Bobbyrider]

Not bad but they can do better
Key Point:
- WAY TOO MANY TURNOVERS FOR IRAN DUE TO RUSHING
- We need to crash the defensive boards
- We lose focus too easily
but its fine as a first olympic experience

[RahmanRezai]

Good game. I think they were nervous the first quarter. Hopefully that wont be happening the next few games.

The turnovers are still a big problem as I said a couple of weeks ago.

[Noveen11]

who is the next game against?

[Ali]

so y did we get 1 point from the match?

[Darvish11]

those mother****ing ****sucking sons of *****es!!! THEY ARE UP 18 with 8 SECONDS LEFT!!!! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO RUN OUT THE CLOCK!!! WTF!!!!



anyway...we won the second and third quarter against the european champions, thats something to be very proud of. We were clearly nervous in the first quarter, and hadadi was off. Great job bahrami. I think if lithuania is off (they are a 3 point shooting team) we might have a chance if we play like we did in the third and hadadi gets going. In the summer league every rebound we were off and running, i dont get why we didnt continue to try that.

The critical moment where we couldve taken the game and shocked the world was the end of the 3rd and the beginning of the fourth. We had a last second 3 point shot that missed that wouldve made it a 5 point game, and then the start of the fourth we had a great play drawn up, kind of an alley oop layup, PERFECTLY executed, but we missed right in front of the rim. Next time guys, next time.

[Payam_Ali]

ya i agree.. they should have ran out the clock

but we played well in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.. we just need to calm down! so many rushed plays and bad turnovers

[tashakor]

Like I said before....4 teams will move up, we can def. beat Lithuania and even Australia.....Argentina are defending champs and we have little to no chance of beating them.

[Bobbyrider]

so top 4 out of 6 advance?
