Portugal 109 Danmark 89
Danmark had a good start, but it wasn't enough to defeat European powerhouse Portugal. Portugal put up some very powerhouse like ratings in this one, they look strong. Danmark had pretty good ratings, but it is obvious that they cannot score from the outside. POTG: Filipe Bola had a great game with a gamehigh 17.5 rating to go with 19 points and team high 7 assists. He also held the other teams point guard to 3 points on 1-11 shooting.

Island 125 Scotland 102
This included some pretty bad NT ratings and me ranking Island number 4 looks like it may have been a bit generous. They really did command this game and pulled off the convincing win, however. POTG: Eymunder Buason dropped a game high 31 points and had a 14.5 rating.

Ukraina 85 Belgium 96
After two weeks of games it seems I underestimated Belgium. I think they could be a top three team in this pool. Belgium had full control of this game even with Ukraina using more effort then the Belgians. This could setback Ukraina a bit. POTG: Charles Dorchain had 18 points, 15 rebounds and a 14.0 rating.

Slovensko 128 Moldova 92
Slovensko fully dominated this game and look like a team which will advance to the 2nd round and then get knocked out there. Moldova never really stood a chance put up some good ratings in this one. I liked what i saw from Moldova in this one. POTG: Jaroslav Turcan had a 17.5 rating and 19 points.

Predictions:
Scotland(70) at Portugal(9)
portugal had a better GS update and could go either way with their attack. Scotland had a decent GS update and I really don't know what they'll send out. They really don't have any strengths. My pick: Portugal.

Belgium(50) at Island(35)
Belgium had a GS update that sets them up for an outside attack whilst Island didn't have a very good GS update and I think this one should be very easy. My pick: Belgium.

Danmark(75) at Slovensko(14)
Both teams look poised to attack from the inside so don't expect this game to get too high scoring. I think Slovensko should easily handle Danmark though. My pick: Slovensko.

Moldova(56) at Ukraina(38)
Ukrraina should be able to dispose of Moldova in this one. Moldova's weak GS added too its overall weak talent makes this a sure victory for Ukraina. My pick: Ukraina

Not much to report in this Pool :P

Thanks if you've ready all and every one of my posts I know its alot :P.

Thanks for all the compliments! It is really not much of a bother for me.

Yeah, these wouldn't be out of place in the main forums. There are more people there to appreciate it. :D

I think a lot of ppl read it now as well, I post links on the swedish forums at least.

best regards from switzerland. you do a great job! only because of you i will train my canadian guard to the nt! ;)

I think he's close, but you probably already know that. He looks really good. Good luck.

yes, i am in contact with the coach. 4 more ups and he is in i think

Awesome work Bballin

Forest has a chance, no question about it. His training partner is also looking pretty solid, to bad he plays for the wrong team :P

I have opened a similar thread in the Global Forum in order to allow more people to see the incredible work of Bballin!

When I asked for assistance with scouting and PR I had no idea that someone would step on and do so much. These reports are awesome and as evident by many of the recent posts they are being enjoyed by far more than just the Canadian community. Bballin and Eminence Front, you should both be commended for the time and effort you have put into these. They are helping bring Buzzer Beater enjoyment to many!

Thanks again,
