wow didnt know that. i wondered why the stadium was empty.


only in Iran does a FINAL end up being in a closed stadium. what a way to ruin all the fun.

because of what happened in the 3rd game, they stopped the game for around 50 minutes before the start of the 4th quarter. Petro fans threw everything they had to the court in Tehran.

we are in a very tough group, hopefully we can atleast get two wins!!

asking for even 1 win is too much. last time we only had 1 win and it was against tunisia. basketball is not like soccer where weaker teams can surprise the big teams. simply because there are so many points being scored the weaker teams can only hold the scoreline for so long before fatigue catches up and the better team wins at the end.

im just hoping for a good display. i want them to play hard and haddadi and kazemi need to lead the way and take charge. this will be kazemi's last chance at NBA in my opinion.

fucking koreans man, korea and japan always get easier groups in every international competition they play. in world cup football, in basketball etc....looking at the korean group they have it easy the two tough teams are Lituania and slovina and may be Austrilia. even that they should be able to make it to next round fucking A man

^ Agree, this is probably the hardest group we could get, except Egypt, and could only get harder if you put the US in our group, but like that would change anything..
BUT, I'm an optimist I've heard this tournament will be shown on Eurosport, so I hope our boys give all they got, and play with no fear as they had nothing to loose!

I am not a big specialist of Basket but a win against Egypt is doable. Winning against Spain will be nearly impossible.
But what about Serbia, Brazil and France (without their stars)? I mean contrary to football, we are playing big teams frequently (olympics, world chamionship) so we should be more prepared to upset some favourites.
