I couldn't watch the first half, when did it happened?

He was not injured, he sat and watched the bahdaleh. Too soft.

the result against greece at some point was 59 points..
in last 5 minutes greece let us take open shots..we ended up losing by 57 points..

if brazil played all quarters like they played in first quarter..
result would 120 - 32 (30*4 - 8*4)..

embarassing...

does abu chakra know anything about time out????

What a bunch of losers, no system,nothiing. This is a high school team. Ali Fakhreddine as usual hebela w meche, Roy Smeha is not a basketball player, the coach was sitting and watching, Fadi khatib is too soft to play the second half, haram wawa his back, Brian bchara should start thinking of a career in the WNBA, he might be accepted there.

The only good players were Omar Turk, Rony Fahed (eventhough he thinks he is playing NBA live 2008 on playstation) tojj w shoot.

Jarrastouna.

I didn't watch a single game of this tournament but I have to say this is a very funny post of yours haha.

Why are you so nervous! We are Lebanese afterall! What do you seriously expect...

Canada 79-77 Korea

Korean basketball has shown a huge improvement during its two games (previously Slovenia defeated Korea 88-76) and showcased a fine representation of Asian basketball..

VERY Bad games,we lost our chance when we lost against Iran and everybody knew that we dont have a chance against Greece and brazil.
lets forget it and focus on the future

Thing is, even if Lebanon doesn't stand a serious chance to win, we must still play a respectable game instead of the huge margins we've seen..

the huge margin that we've seen is due to several reasons and one of them the lack of faith and confidence from the players and coach themself,the players entered the court knowing that they are going to loose and didnt even bother to play some basket ball.
