2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup

unfucking believable, game summer is turn over, poor shot selection, no defense

[Zamboor]

We played much better 4 years ago in the world cup with more confidence . Even though we lost big big. What went wrong?

[PSGman#19]

What I don't understand is that contrary to football our team has played many times against top teams (friendlies, olympics, previous WC) even a decent match against US last time, and we are trashed like that now!

[persian-eagle-13]

^^this team did not prepare for the WC, just like our football team going to the wc. you are right we played better 4 years ago

[Zamboor]

Well it did look bad in pre-training games as well. We did lose against the Swedish B team (sweden sucks in basketball) with 20+ points.

we did prepear we had a lot of games. Ijust don't know whats going wrong. Confidence? Talent? Quality?

[PSGman#19]

Cannnot even score on PK!
PS : the gap between iranian baskeball league and NBA/European leagues is greater than the one between IPL and European leagues (Serie A, Liga, EPL, Bundeliga, etc...)?

[Abtin]

^ Yeah, we should just be happy we are here. In volleyball we can have high hopes.

[persian-eagle-13]

there is a clear lack of concentration in the team, our coach did not make this team ready for the wc. if we do not turn the ball over, and just take care of the ball we should only be loosing by 10-15 pts instead.

2 nice jump shots by HH

[persian-eagle-13]

again we are not able to make open baskets

[persian-eagle-13]

another turn over

[Iranian-Patriot]

I am not an expert in basketball, but this is horrible. Too many turn overs and can't even make the penalty shots.
Brazil got 25 points on turn overs, only if we could minimize on those turn overs and play with more confidence results would be much closer and be able to win games as well.

you see, you are not even a basketball expert and can tell what we are doing wrong. we are just trouble and it seems we just showed up to the wc for the sack of the wc.

[persian-eagle-13]

embarrassing, HH can't even hold on to a rebound

[Abtin]

Haddadi is AWFUL in offense!
