I know this isn't BB related but thought it might get some chat on the go within the forums. What does everyone think GBs chances of coming top 4 and qualifying?

If they can scrape some victories against argentina and china we have the unfortunate task of taking on Team USA in the quarters... GO ON DENG!

I watched them against Russian, they were not playing team basketball, that's the problem.

Yeah I'd be surprised if GB win any matches unfortunately. I love Deng, but he's not doing a great job either.

Yeh i missed the first quarter but the basketball wasnt pretty, bad decision making leading to poor shot selection and turn overs. Russia only have 2 players in their PG and kirelenko but they allowed too many easy baskets. Deng did struggle too but he isn't getting the supply and is left to force up tough shots after 1on1s :|

He got AK47 guarding him most of the game, and when he fails there's always a second guy helping or fouling him.

And AK managed 30+ points! Who's guarding him?

Yeh they played a smart game, doesnt help when you shut down the star guy if no one else contributes. And I know most of them were easy buckets the help D in the GB team is lacking!

Watched the game today still didnt quite get there but at least it was an improvement despite most opportunities being 1on1s at least deng had the sense to pass the ball and some other guys contributed.

Overall the teams lacking, lazy on defence with helping, and there was no point in their supposed "press"...it was pointless hardly any pressure at all....its disappointing
