but germany traditional get a good chemistry, which is a problem in turkey and i believe france too mostly. I don#T think that turkey could repeat their succes without homecourt(i don't think germany would be much more succesful, but turkey was more then desolate in Bamberg).

Srbia on Paper looking at individual talent isn'tlooking that strong too but it is often counted as one of the top 3 teams, and i think that isn't off, especially in Italy who had problem in group B tournament with help of their NBA stars.

italy, France, Turkey are at least team for me, who have strong team on paper who didn't work that good(France is maybe too athletik, to less finesse for FIBA, but turkey and Italy often struggle mentally), and preparation games don't like a change in that direction.

^^ I gotta admit. Chemistry plays a big role in today's win, though. Having arguably the best player in the tournament, they might not have more talent or depth than Italy or Turkey. But I gotta say, the German guards look in shape and are prepared to sacrifice for the good of the team. That helps because they look lost on defence a lot of times.

Having arguably the best player in the tournament


which one you mean? Nowitzky is skill wise imho clearly the best, but you notice that he isn't in best shape after the long season, so i would actually count Kaman as our best player.

the German guards look in shape and are prepared to sacrifice for the good of the team.


mmh the guard are our weak spot, our main pointguard suffered lumbago two days ago and play like crap. Our second Point Guard was planned as guard, and our third one is probadly best as SF(but still our best SG, but not an PG).

Hopefully hamann get healthy soon, and the rest of the team keep his good "game shape".

That's interesting.
Compared to Italy I thought your perimeter players played with more energy. They hit some clutch shots down the end and defended with intensity.

So if Kaman is your best player that means Nowitsky must be really diminished! I thought Dirk looked good today.
Your frontcourt will be a real test for Noah and Diaw tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised to see Florent Pietrus (who has played poorly so far) on Dirk for a good chuck of the game when Diaw is out. I don't think Kaman can get past Noah one-on-one. As for the guards, we have the edge here but we are going to have to make 3pters because there will be a lot of zone.
Batum and Gelabale have shot the ball well so far but maybe it ends tomorrow. I'd say 55-45 chance France wins a close game throughout.
