Russia vs Spain semi-final game thread

[Venti Quattro]

I think the communists will shock Spain in a close one.

[Latarian Milton]

yeah then the bronze medal match would be played by all spanish speaking players, oh wait... forgot about ibaka :lol

[Venti Quattro]

Mozgov is having a fun time inside with the Gasols and Ibaka. We're absolutely going to destroy these hairy fuckers. That is if they even beat Russia.

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao couldn't figure out Russia

[Jodelo]

They gave us a run last olympics, but their team now is a joke compared to 2008.

[ElNono]

Russia letting Spain hang around... smh

[naico]

Russia letting Spain hang around... smh

Looks like the Spain-France script idd

[Venti Quattro]

[ElNono]

[Venti Quattro]

Rudy has fallen in love too much with the three

[ElNono]

Is Ibaka hurt or something? haven't seen him out there yet

[Venti Quattro]

:lol tied after 3
:lol scored more in the third than the entire 1st half

[naico]

Lol ridiculous backcourt violation. No time stop in the end.

[ElNono]

:lol Russia falling faster than the Cold war

[ElNono]

[Venti Quattro]

Russia is crumbling faster than the USSR

[Venti Quattro]

[Josepatches_]

It looks better now

[ElNono]

fucking chokers... oh, well... maybe ARG will have a better shot at Russia for Bronze

[DPG21920]

Russia has been very resilient all tourney. Let's see if they have one more bounce back in them.

[Venti Quattro]

post dat switch cos Spain has it today!

[ElNono]

lol Marc with the skyhook...

[Josepatches_]

58-50

[Venti Quattro]

:lol Russia is now down by double digits after going up by 13

[TheRealCB]

So,did both France and Russia choke,or was Spain simply coasting all along?

[ElNono]

choke, IMO... Russia is going for 20 pts in the 2nd half themselves

[Venti Quattro]

Pau's not even in the floor, and so is Ibaka.

[Venti Quattro]

Scariolo made a genius substitution with Felipe Reyes

[ElNono]

lol trying to pull fancy shit

[ElNono]

Marc being a man, tbh... whatever happened to mozgov?

[Venti Quattro]

What a play from Sergio Llull.

[Josepatches_]

We were the best team outside USA so we'll win the silver medal

[ElNono]

wow, Kirilenko choke

[ElNono]

We were the best team outside USA so we'll win the silver medal

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[ElNono]

This spanish team will be remembered as the team that tanked to avoid Team USA...

[Jodelo]

Kirilenko shooting FT's like Dwight Howard!

[Venti Quattro]

Kirilenko, choking in a big game per par

[ElNono]

Russia's chokejob is inexcusable though, and has nothing to do with Spain, tbh

[Josepatches_]

Yes but Spain national team will win the silver medal again

About tank...it happens every year in the NBA

[urunobili]

The 4th Quarter Spain could beat Team USA tbh

[ElNono]

:lol FIBA
:lol rewarding cheaters
:lol tanking = olympic spirit

[Venti Quattro]

The 4th Quarter Spain could beat Team USA tbh

First half Spain would be easily down 30 points to Team USA, so it won't matter.

[Slomo]

:lol russia falling faster than the iron curtain


:lol russia falling faster than the berlin wall

fify

[ElNono]

:lol

[Venti Quattro]

Did Spain really tank?

[ElNono]

Did Spain really tank?

Of course they did. It was all over the news in Spain. :lol

[pass1st]

Top seeded teams should be allowed to pick their opponents :lol

[spurs10]

Of course they did. It was all over the news in Spain. :lol
Spain has tanked their way into a silver medal. It will be fun to see Team USA curbstomp them. I hope they run up the score in show of their disrespect, but then again they run up the score on everyone. :lol

[Pelicans78]

Spain is a fluky little team. Can't wait to see them pay for it on Sunday. They deserved to get their asses blown out.
