Nigeria vs Croatia
Nigeria leading by 4 (43-39) at the half, thanks to Umeh's three points shooting. We are still not disciplined enough though with everyone taking tough 3 point shots when there's no one in the paint to rebound.. Diogo is the top culprit.
Re: Nigeria vs Croatia
Great game for Nigeria so far. Umeh, and Diogu are beasts!

Re: Nigeria vs Croatia
Good game... the played good defence and the 3 points shots where steady today..
This same croatian team beat Spain and brazil ... We matched up with them becuase they didnt have any super big 7 fters..

Just imagine if we had farouk and other guy on this team how deadly we would be..bret- hart wrote:Kai I pray we beat Brazil so se sneak out of the group.
Brazil is beatable, but we dont match up well against them. They have 2 7 ft guys in the middle
Re: Nigeria vs Croatia
Congrats guys. Well done to all! On to the next match.

Re: Nigeria vs Croatia
Croatia had 7ft guys in the middle as well(or 6'11). Brazil has no 7 footers on their squad. Nene is listed as 6'11 but is probably 6'10. Feliciano the other center is listed as 6'10.Solowe wrote:Just imagine if we had farouk and other guy on this team how deadly we would be..bret- hart wrote:Kai I pray we beat Brazil so se sneak out of the group.

Alade is 6'10/6'11. Ike is 6'9(more like 6'8/6'7). Either way, the height difference shouldn't be much of an issue for our bigs. The physicality of Nene vs Ike and Alade in the post should be interesting.

Re: Nigeria vs Croatia
Good win.
Cold comfort for me as we half talent to be the No. 2 team in the world (although Australia would have given us a fight for it, the way they are playing).
Let's even forget about Oladipo, Okafor & Ezeli, who have never played. We still have enough to beat the likes of Lithuania silly. Too bad with Seni Lawal, but the likes of Ochefu & Sulaimon & Al-Farouq would have given this team speed, size & versatility.
I've been too upset with the way things unraveled just b4 the Olympics, & I have not posted, but congrats to the guys. They played with heart & always a privilege & honor to represent your country.
