2019 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers - ASIA

Guys come on :P,
Just Google the following: SUMMER

If in doubt look at our own calendar! Tir is the start of the summer, which is NOT the 1st of June!

The reason there is even such a thing as Meteorological Seasons is the following:
Derek Arndt, of the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), tells me that usage of the “meteorological seasons has been around since the early-to-mid 20th century, when it really took root in the applied weather and climate communities.” Arndt explains that although some NCDC products (the weekly drought monitor, for example) are issued with greater frequency, “dealing with whole-month chunks of data rather than fractions of months was more economical and made more sense – and still does, in many ways. We organize our lives more around months than astronomical seasons, so our information follows suit.”

Knowing our own calendar, the Meteorological seasons make no sense at all!!

Lost at home 89-97 against Japan!

We are almost out. We have to play favourite Australia, while Japan and Philippes have easy games

[Irannn]

We only needed a 6pts defeat to Japan to qualify but we lost by 8 ! that was the worst defensive game I ever seen from Iran. can't remember the last time any time score 97 against us ! even Spain or team USA didn't score more than 90 !

only last 5 minutes was good when we almost had a comeback (we were down by something like 18 or 19) and we cut that to just 6 which was enough for the qualification but the last play was awful. we just had to sit back and let Japan run the clock out, instead they were aggressive, made a foul and Japan made both FTs. we still most probably will qualify but there is only ONE SCENARIO that eliminates Iran

all these results should happen for Iran to get eliminated
Iran losing to Australia
Philippines beating Kazakhstan
Japan losing to Qatar
Jordan beating both games against China and New Zealand
Lebanon winning one of these two games against New Zealand or South Korea

I watched Qatar vs Philippines today, Qatar is a terrible team, I think this is impossible for Japan to lose to this Qatar team. and beside that Jordan's chance will be slim against China tomorrow. if Jordan fails tomorrow we will be qualified before our last game.

Japan was shooting insanely today.

Other than that Iran was doing OK.

we were supposed to qualify today but surprisingly Jordan beat China today to make things a bit dangerous for us. in last day 5 teams will fight for 4 spots. all those 5 games will be at the same time

Iran vs Australia
Qatar vs Japan
Kazakhstan vs Philippines
Jordan vs New Zealand
Lebanon vs South Korea

only in one scenario we will get eliminated only if Australia, Qatar, Philippines, Jordan and Lebanon win. all of them. the only good news is Japan losing to Qatar looks very very unlikely

I just hope we won't regret that last ball against Japan, we have to beat this Australia C team to qualify on our own without watching other games, but even this Australian team will be tough.

This stupid coach must be fired regardless of the result. His personal vendetta with our star player has put Iran on the brink of elimination.

Iran is the king of chokers. Only Uzb football team is worse

Who does he have issues with and why?

[_Navid_]

Who does he have issues with and why?

He has issues with Arsalan Kazemi. We are practically missing our 2 best players in these games because of this, as Hamed Haddadi also didn't join the team in recent months as a protest of Arsalan not being there.

actually Haddadi joined the team eventually but a bit late and our genius coach said no thanks. that's late we will play with those who joined the camp from the first day ! they simply underestimated Japan and they thought we can beat them even without Haddadi.

no matter what they really have to fire this guy, he is also a very bad coach. last year he had the core of Iran NT in his club Petrochimi and they lost the Iranian league.

tomorrow is a very important day, remember World Cup is also the qualifier for the Olympics (the best ranked Asian team at the World Cup will qualify, AUS and NZL won't be counted as Asian here)
New Zealand beat Lebanon in Beirut but some of their players left the team already for some club games, they are weaker here and Jordan has a good chance to beat them. Korea also missing couple of key players it won't be easy but I think Lebanon also will beat Korea. Philippines losing to Kazakhstan also looks impossible. so if we lose to Australia our only hope is Japan. but I can't imagine what if Japan have a bad day (which happens sometimes for teams like Japan) wow. I don't want to think about that.

Our coach sucks. Japan wasn't even their best team. According to some comments on the youtube highlight, they missed two US-based players. One plays in the NBA and the other is a star in the NCAA.

it's not like Iran was our best team but yep Japan had to play without Rui Hachimura and Yuta Watanabe. specially Hachimura was a very important player when they beat us in Tokyo few months ago.

Japan is not a "weak team" anymore. they beat Australia even when Australia had some of their NBA players. but still I believe a full squad Iran is slightly better than full squad Japan and even in this window that Iran team was better than that Japan team. we lost because of our poor coaching.

1Q : Iran 25-15 Australia

Good game so far.

[_Navid_]

So far so good. This Australia looks very amateurish.

Japan is beating Qatar too with a good margin which is a safety bonus.
