2015 FIBA Basketball Asia Championship [23 September - 3 October]

[EKBATAN]

Palestine and Phillipines will be tricky. We need A game from everyone.




btw, how come we cant develop ANY player that can attack the basket and dunk like Arsalan?? Haddadi of course can cuz of his height but i feel like our players go to the basket so soft. We need to develop aggressive players that can take the open lane and dunk that shit. We're not short, i mean there are guys that are 6 ft only and can dunk so we need to build some muscle, some tough guys who can get in there, pull fouls, get some dunks, put backs, etc...

to be fair, we have players who ran all across the field and scored on their own, right here in this tournament

yea but its against weak teams. When they play good teams they dont attack the basket. And when they do its a weak lay up.

[Abtin]

^ you're right.
And btw, do we know what time the next matches will be? 3 and 5 in the freaking morning again?!

Never mind, I just found out. shit times again. ffs China.

... that means the games are very early in the morning for Europe / Iran.
Like 05.00 AM , somewhere around that time.

[behzadir]

China doing its best to fuck us with the scheduling.

Funny thing is they schedule our games even before the 13-16 classification games!! Worst possible time for any team.
Hope our boys take this as a motivation with the way Chinese our treating them.

[Abtin]

This is so tokhmi. the team that won the previous edition and candidate to win it again, gets to play early in the morning.

I don't mind the times to be honest. This way I can watch the repeat of the games while having my breakfast before going to work and can just fast forward the break between quarters. If you guys watch it on televebion the score won't be ruined so it is like watching it live.

[Abtin]

it is just pure in-human and disrespectful to make people play any match at 9:30 in the morning. what is wrong with these people? how is that even allowed? I bet if Iran makes it to the final, it shall be played at 8 in the morning.

I remember I saw an interview that Samad slammed Fiba (Asian confederation) for giving the hosting to China all the times while Iran has been wining Asian titles since 2007. He grilled Chinese for taking hosting advantages while they have been insignificant since Yao Ming retired in 2008.

Apparently it's because Iran's tv did not buy the broadcasts for this tournament or something. So they decided to allow other teams whos nation's tvs did buy the rights in order to play at convenient times.

What?
The games have all be aired on Channel 3 in Iran.

^yeah as Nokhodi says, I'm also pretty sure IRIB have show all the matches, pretty sure its pure BS. but it will just be that much sweeter when we lift the trophy again in front of all the arabs and butthurt chinese and filipinos.
