OK, not impossible, mathematically extremely unlikely to the point where I think it's not possible. We haven't beaten anyone by close to 17+ points and Spain hasn't lost to anyone by close to 17+ points. If we wanna add unlikely scenarios how about USA losing to Puerto Rico? Long shot but hardly impossible.

If you think those two scenarios are equal in terms of probability then I guess there's not much reason to continue discussing stuff like this.

France isn't very good. They've had an easy pool. Almost lost to Japan and should have. And Germany is very very good. I think they win by 15.

Lol, pots of balls at the Olympics. I'm sure that will all be above board. Yeah, no shenanigans there at all.

Not equal, but both are so unlikely basically impossible.

I think Greece is out of the next round .. If that being the case I can't see Giannis playing .. He is not going
to risk injury on a game that means nothing and so I can see Austrialia winning by a huge margin .

Canada has a really good team. One hot shooting night with no foul trouble and a big point differential is not remotely so unlikely as to not be considered.

One of Greece or Brazil (both currently 0-2) will likely make the quarters. I don't think Giannis will sit out risking their chance to make it to the next round.

He isn't .. He is playing .. Greece is leading big at the half

Australia caught up and was within 2 but Greece prevailed and won at the end.

Will be interesting to see which of the 1-2 teams make it to the quarters. I think Brazil is a lock with their big blow out win today.

2 years away (repeat 5 times).

Really hoping Canada puts it to Spain and goes 3-0. A big win here would provide some nice momentum into the next round.

Wow Austrilia went from a favored lock to win this group to maybe finished last in just one day ..
