I haven't watched basketball in over a decade, thought it's a good opportunity to get back into it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted August 27, 2023 Author Subscriber Share Posted August 27, 2023 Lithuania thrashed Egypt by almost 30 points in the first match, playing against Mexico today in half an hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey 1,192 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I love basketball, it's just that I can only get into live sport and the NBA games are always way too early for me to realistically follow. Would be my #1 sport if I was American though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted August 27, 2023 Author Subscriber Share Posted August 27, 2023 Lithuania won their second game against Mexico by 30 points and are guaranteed a spot in the next round with a game still in hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted August 27, 2023 Author Subscriber Share Posted August 27, 2023 Wow, Latvia beat France 88:86 despite trailing by 12 pts at the start of Q4, which means that France are already eliminated from the World Cup. They lost their first group game against Canada, too - by 30 points, nonetheless! Pretty crazy, considering that they won bronze medals in the last tournament...

Moderator Tommy 12,616 Posted September 1, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2023 Nice. So depending on how Slovenia vs. Australia ends, it could mean that Germany qualified for the Quarter finals already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithuania just won 92:67 against Greece, which means we're now qualified for the quarterfinals too Very important win, as USA is the remaining team in the group. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rucksackfranzose 4,376 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Lituania won against the US.Them and Germany are the only undefeated teams in the tournament. Quarterfinals on Tuesday. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 3, 2023 Author Subscriber Share Posted September 3, 2023 It was a crazy game. Managed to get a 21 point lead early in Q1, almost blew it in Q3, but managed to keep the gap above 4 points until the very end. Good stuff. If all goes well, I think Lithuania and Germany could meet in the final, that would be cool... But first, we have Serbia to beat in the quarterfinals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really related, still I'm curious: how's the sporting relation between Lithuania and Latvia as much of a fierce rivalry as eg Germany and some of their neighbours, especially Netherlands and Austria?

No, in fact, quite the contrary! No rivalry at all, but mutual support instead The relationship between the two nations is very cordial, and it extends to sports as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course fucking Serbia has to ruin it. You were looking forward to Lithuania vs Germany? This way to put it is quite cheeky, since the earliest date both teams could have possibly met would have been the final, so this sentence can be seen as implying Germany would win not only against Latvia in the quarterfinals but also beat the the USA in the semifinals.
