This year Eurobasket 2011 will be at Lithuania, my birthplace. My country team is In group A with Great Britain, Poland, Spain, Team(A/2), turkey. In group B - France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Serbia. In group C - Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, F.Y.R. of Macedonia, Greece, Montenegro, Team (A/1). In group D - Belgium, Bulgaria, Georgia, Russia, Slovenia, Ukraine. The finals of the Eurobasket 2001 will be at Kaunas, in new arena (capacity 15000). For Lithuania team will be a very hard to win against Spain and Turkey, but I believe that my country team can win Eurobasket 2011. So wich team in you`r opinion will win the Eurobasket 2011?

I think Spain. They are the best team in my opinion, even though I live in Israel :)
But Lithuania is pretty good too, they have a chance!!

Eurobasket 2011 will be very interesting. I am hoping to watch some really good basketball with strong defenses. I can say which national teams are my favorites to pass the group stage of competition. As first 3 teams from every group will pass to second round I think this is how it will be:
group A: Poland, Spain, Turkey;
group B: France, Germany, Serbia;
group C: Croatia, Greece, Montenegro;
group D: Russia, Slovenia, Bulgaria.
Anyway group A will face teams from group B where every team will play against teams from the group they didn't participate in, after that top 4 teams will qualify to quarter-finals. Same rules for the new group F, where teams from group C and D will compete.
My favorites from group E would be: Serbia, Spain, France, Turkey and from group F: Slovenia, Greece, Russia, Croatia.
Which team will be Eurobasket 2011's winner depends a lot from the position of top favorites in groups E and F.
I am almost sure that one of the semifinal matches will be between Serbia and Spain. In my opinion other semifinal match would be a lot less interesting, between two teams that are not as strong as these two. So basically who wins in that match have a great chance of winning the gold.
