Italy has dominated the game till 3rd quarter. Then our short bench did the difference. Spain is a great team, can play for the gold against Lithuania. They def better than USA, better than Argentina too.

he had 5/6 shooting in not many minutes vs greece, I dont see anything wrong with that when Iverson was like 4/14 in much more minutes.

Man, with Italy you never know. I wasnt expecting Italy to arrive in the first 8 in the last European Championships, but we arrived 3rd, 1 shot from the final by eliminating France, Germany, Slovenia, etc..

Everything is possible. Spain and Lithuania are the best teams in the competition, but if we dont face them till the semifinals, we can go for a medal.

Anyway if Italy finishes 3rd and Puerto Rico 2nd, we will face them in the quarters. We can do it.
