Eurobasket2017 Group A: Greece - France

photo: Fiba.com


Two elite rivals and last Eurobasket Top5 teams gets together on the 2nd round game in Helsinki. Greeks drowned Iceland vikings boat albeit it shouldn't be the reference point considering their struggle during the whole preparation and basically the ending at home Athens (loosing to Georgia, Serbia x2 in prep). They will need to find true leader after Gianis couldn't manage to be part of the team. I can't find many now, when at the same time French has De Colo and Fournier as massive perimeter threat. Even tho they clumsily ended up the deja vu of 2015's start with Finns, I see them coming up more concentrated from the first minutes alike in 2015's while pecking the Bosnians in biggest margin as a bronze club company. Anyways, French are likewise in the act of reconnoitering, but the situation after 1st round dictates to benefit from HT.

Alternative Pick: J. Lauvergne over 10.5 (betsafe)

Pieno Zvaigzdes vs. Siauliai

photo: D.Luksas Probably the most high pace team Pieno Zvaigzdes meets under-offensive-performing team Siauliai with freeway thinking philosophy of basketball coach Sireika. Pieno Zvaigzdes has one modern real center from 20 century - Zukanenko (8 min per game), even coach said he's important and will give positive impact on game, but he doesn't know yet where/when to use him. Ofc he doesn't as his team is playing hell of the run&gun basketball while scoring 90 pts every game vs. weak opponents. It happend in friendly games and so during the season. Siauliai despite they improvise a lot in offence met only one high pace opponent Lietkabelis, so their totals stayed under the limit so far. Pick: FT(OT incl.) Over 161.5 (O/U) @ 1.830 5/10 Bet365 (by: surrealite)

Eurobasket2017 Group B: Israel - Lithuania

photo: Fiba.com Well if Lithuania lost accidentally to Georgia by losing control in late game the Israel had no discipline at all facing Italians. A bit pity Israel comes after 21 point lose game, being a hosts they cant make consecutive atrocious performances in 2 rounds. This is a minus on the gambling side, but technically Lithuanians can't 0/2 either. Isreal is much weaker in the paint. When Lithuania can play strech four with Kuzminskas and Motiejunas, Israel has Eliyahu who has weak body & can't shoot from the distance, Howel is 2.06 and Pnini is undersized limited veteran. If Lithuania has poor perimeter defenders on shooting guards and gonna have much trouble against Belineli & CO, Omri Casspi is the pure slowfootworking food to feed the Lion defence anchor Maciulis. Mekel can't shoot 3pt either and no matter Isreal will try to compensate their cons on playing fast I already did too much scouting in 5 mins, so I can't see any other scenario than i...
