Georgia have good chances to qualify next round from this group, and because of it they must win games like this..
In first home game against Strong Poland, Georgians played amazing basketball, and destroyed them 84-65, second game was against Belgium in away game, and they lost 74-64, but I watched this game, and Georgia played it very good, they leaded after 3 periods, but in unluky last period most of their shoots was missed, and lost it 20-8, but anyway they are very strong team for sure, at home their arena is full and have very hot pupporters, who are making very big pressure on gusets, what is making lighter for Georgians to play easy..
Portugal is on of the outsiders, they lost all 3 games in this group and have not many chances to advance next round, first was home loss against Bulgaria 59:67, than against Poland in away game 86-64, and at home with Belgium 69:78.. I think against Georgia in away game they will be in big trouble, and hard motivate Georgians can destroy portugal more than 20 points for me..
I rate Georgians 1 level better team..
