[Post Game Thread] Latvia (4-1) def. Brazil (3-2) 104-84. Latvia advance to the quarterfinals in their first ever World Cup. Brazil has been eliminated from contention.
And this is all without Porzingis, just like Lithuania is chugging along without Sabonis, i guess not having your best players sometimes motivates the teams even more? š
incredible work Latvians!!

That Bertans guy is pretty good at shooting.
Jokes aside WTF. Latvia has chance to be 1st in a group? Few days ago if I heard it I would tell to stop smoking whatever the dude is smoking.

Amazing team win for Latvia.
Latvia and Lithuania – two Baltic countries in TOP 8.
Total population for both countries 4,68 million.

Latvia said to be in two groups of death.
But who knew that the death would come from the Latvians themselves šš

Latvia in their first bball wc, missing their 3 best players, where ice hockey is the number 1 sport and with a population of 1.8 million are heading to the quarter finals. All playing a really attractive style of team/ball movement basketball. Some legends haha.

Elite team basketball > individual skills & talent

Latvia is playing the most beautiful and funniest basketball of this worlds and i think we should teach the kids the way they play (not Bertans tho lol), few iso and more teamplay. Hope they can get a medal.

Brazil eliminated from the World Cup but haven’t been eliminated from the Olympics. They need Dominican Republic and Canada losses. If those two lose, they’re gonna be the team that gets the second Olympics spot it looks like for the Americas. That upset over Canada was huge as Canada would’ve basically been advanced now without it.
What an incredible tournament for the Latvians. So much shooting, they’re clearly so well coached, enjoy playing with each other. Such fun basketball being played by the Latvian side. Congrats to them!!!

Canadas choke against Brazil makes no sense

In the quarterfinals at their first-ever World Cup and without Porzingis as well. Amazing.

*Eliminated from the World Cup. Eliminated from the playoffs. Why do you people phrase things so strangely?
Magnificent for Latvia.
It is all the more remarkable as the players could have relaxed after their exploit against France. But no, they continued against Spain, then Brazil!
Latvia fully deserves its place in the World Top 8. While waiting for even better perhaps?

Every time i see Latvia in sports i canāt help but think of Winston Bishop
