Wake up guys! We're playing as if we were afraid. I'm not talking about offense, I'm talking about defense. We say the things that we have to do, but we don't follow on pick and rolls and we let them shoot a 3, we're not going for rebounds, they are aggressive we can't even inbound. We have to play more physical. Against Slovenia we played physical, right now we're not playing physical. They're dominating us but they think we're shit. And we can see it on their face, they think we are shit. So what we... I don't care what happens in the second half, even if we lose, at least we play with our pride, and we play hard. After that, we lose, that's not important, that's life. But I prefer to lose with a fight, not like this. They are ripping us apart.

That was the greatest moment of my career with the national team: finding the right words to hurt my teammates in their pride so that the second half is the best half of French basketball ever.

We have nothing to lose now. Let's play! Antoine [Diot], you like a shot, you take it. Alexis [Ajinca], you like a shot, you take it. We have nothing to lose. Antoine [Diot], call plays for Nico [Batum], for Bobo [Diaw], only 1 out of 5 for me, forget about me...

that game was awesome. i thought it was over after the first half with the way each team had been playing up to that point. spain was up by like, 17 if i'm not mistaken.

Pretty amazing stuff, great find. :toast

Where was that speech in the NBA Finals ?

Where was that speech in the NBA Finals ?

We didn't play like pussies in the Finals.

Saw this video literally a few seconds before going to this thread. I think it's pretty cool TP's being that way, being a leader and all. It's even cooler seeing him that way after seeing him come into the league as a teen and literally be Pop's b***h. I sincerely hope TP improves even more this season and finally give Tim his 5th title.

I see that Canal+ teams are still hooked on Radio Protector by 65daysofstatic (the tune at the end). They tend to use that one fairly often. :DThe speach in itself, great.

[lefty]

Canal +


Blast from the paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast


Is George Eddy still alive ?

[sinok]

Yeah, though, there is not much basketball anymore to be seen on Canal+.
BeIn took the most interesting parts (NBA last year, Euroleague this one).

Damn BeIN

Ah I remember when Canal started showing NBA on a weekly basis

Good times

In the late 90s they started showing live regular season games, but in the mid the 90s it was the game of the week followed by the top 10 on Saturdays.

And I remember watching the FInals late at night ... Bulls vs Blazers, vs Suns, Rox vs NYK .... so much anticipation before game 1

They also showed the Tournament of Americas in Portland with the Original Dream Team - but only USA games :lol

The only guys I've seen play before that were MJ, Pippen, Magic, Bird, Kareem, Worthy, Drexler, Isiah, Dumars, Wilkins :lol

Then discovered the other guys : Mullin, Barkley, D-Rob ... etc .... instantly became a Robinson fan, which is why I've been a Spurs fan


Shit the NBA ain't what it used to be

First time seeing Parker speak French. Looks like a whole different person.

He sounds more timid when he speaks English.
