WATCH: Spurs' Tony Parker evades angry tiger in French game show http://cbsprt.co/1fq1wqV

[Ice009]

What broadband service can you purchase to watch the games? I don't mind paying for them. Getting eliminated in early May makes the off-season too long . Can you also watch any of the practice games?

[DesignatedT]

I thought I remember these games being televised two years ago. Unless I'm thinking of something else.

[Mamuza94]

Will be covered for sure. It's big tournament. What TV ususally broadcast this type of compe ions? Does anyone remember Eurobasket 2013 and service which then was cover it?
In worst case there will be streams. Alaso for pratice games.

[ChumpDumper]

NBAtv aired the games from the quarterfinals to the finals last time. I imagine a bunch of the preliminaries will be on the eurobasket2015.org site. Whether they will be free I don't know.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bobi speaks excellent English.

The first example I could find:

His English from just the interviews I've seen already sounds better than when Tiago first came over.

Just saw this, thanks

[all_zh]

Yeah, Teo is awesome, but too much problem with nerves. Now, he isn't a big game player unfortunately

[Mamuza94]

He isn't?

1:29:55



And after that, in semifinal the biggest theft (by Turks) in history of basketball.

[spurs10]

Yes TP and Bobo look great. Only saw the one picture of Boris with the coffee and he looks pretty fit.

[all_zh]

Yes, he isn't. Look at FF every year. And maybe if to be more honest, I meant his play in finish rounds.
But I love his game, no doubts

Yes, i know what do u think. I know that too, just...i can't admit it to myself. That's probably true, but there is still time for him. I really believe that he'll win Euroleague one day.

About last F4 and match vs Oly... it was Itudis's mistake more than Teo's. He was pull Teo out of game and not give him chance almost by the end of match. And a whole season was based on Milos and his game. With that move at the end, he betrayed himself, his game tactic and also Milos.

France should be the favorites to defend their le with Spain missing Ibaka and Marc Gasol.
It's really too bad that (Davis) Bertans won't be able to play for Latvia, he could have been their best scorer.

[all_zh]

Anyway. Good luck for Teo personally and your team at Eurobasket Looking at Serbia NT is aways interesting

[Mamuza94]

Greece's 15-man preliminary roster:
- Nikos Zisis

Great team, they are in Top 5 for sure.

@Yura,

Yep, Berta just don't have luck. :/

BOBO (and that coffee, reminding me of the Marc Stein ESPN story )

.

Parker, you better play your best next season or you might see yourself leading the 2nd unit next season. ...

Boban Marjanovic could miss the European Championship (the link is in Serbian, I think). http://www.sportskacentrala.com/?s=read&cat=2&id=152672

I was in a store today and saw a Bertans jersey. (Not sure which brother's jersey it was). Almost bought it in case he makes the Spurs someday.

If my Google translate is right, it sounds like the Spurs are being a bit unreasonable, which is unlike them.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

My serbian isn't very good, but what I got was that the Spurs' medical staff have called him over to San Antonio for further tests, despite the medical in Italy, because they believe he might have played with an injury at the end of last season.

I think it's just a rumor at this point ,but I've seen it reported at Greek media as well. I think we'll just have to wait and see where this is going.

I thought it said 'broken foot' in the article, but thought that surely must be too serious to play on and for him to pass the MIlano medical without a problem.

[Mamuza94]

He got call from SA medical to come again in USA to do some extra tests.

Apparently, they were upset by the information that Boban played final of Serbian PO with broken foot. Thereby, Spurs are prohibit Boban any activity for 30 days, jeopardizing his appearance at Eurobasket.

"To be honest, i'm afraid of their stance. They will maybe make a problem, because it's obvious that Americans (he thinks on Spurs medical) exaggerate. If they stay with their stance, Boban's appearance on Eurobasket will be questionable", said Djilas (president of Serbian basketball federaton).

Obviously just a ploy to get Milutinov on the roster.
