Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019

It's their best chance now because although the team USA is the favorites to win

Team USA seems the most favorite because most of huge NBA superstars are Americans. They are not called Dream Team for nothing, charisma and strength they possess makes them special among teams. But this year, honestly they are not my favorite. I am now getting more interested to the team which could beat them Grin

I don't see them as a super team unlike the Roster they have in the past.

Indeed. Take a look on this year's
USA's roster[/ur]. Well, they are still considered high calibers in basketball but I admit that they are not as solid as before.

Exactly. And In my opinion, it is always satisfying to see the USA losing.
This would mean that we are going to watch an amazing game, as all the teams need to try their maximum efforts to win this team.

If we will see Serbia and the US in the Finals, they will be like the Warriors and the Raptors where Warriors were the heavy favorites but the Raptors end up winning in the series. But this one, I don't hope for an injury, of course the game would be fun to watch if all players are given a chance to play.
I would cheer for my nation's team but I know they will not be able to enter in the top 10, but if they will have at least one win, that would be good enough and a great achievement since this is an world wide competition.

The Serbians definitely will have a chance. Serbia will (unfortunately) beat Greece if we meet during the tournament. Funny side note though: In my opinion - even though Serbia is > Greece - Greece will even have a better chance of winning against the USA, just due to the fact that their style will fit us (Giannis) more. Cant wait for the tournament to start, only a few more days.
