FIBA: France VS Brazil

[spursparker9]

Tiago vs Boris.

2 mins remaining the 2nd quarter.

[elemento]

France is missing Parker badly offensively.

Brazil is playing very well defensively. I really like Raul Neto. He has improved so much. Smooth game for a PG. Too bad Utah drafted him. Hard to believe that he will have a chance in the NBA with Exum and Burke over there.

[ElNono]

good lord, Diaw looks fat as fuck :wow

[jeebus]

good lord, Diaw looks fat as fuck :wow

He got paid and he's got a ring. He's in Jaren Jackson mode.

[ElNono]

I guess he looks slimmer dressing black :lol

[biskvito]

Tiago playing at home :rollin

[PingPong]

Nene and Varejão looking old or rusty... France only have Diaw and Batum?

[Brunodf]

Batum got 3000 FTAs already

[PingPong]

Barbosa, you rotten POS.

[ElNono]

BTW, all games on ESPN3

[Brunodf]

Diaw is the only one trying for France...

[smaka]

damn, Garcia has one ugly jumpshot

[jeebus]

Is De Yolo on the team?

[ElNono]

whatever happened with Pietrus? Is he still in the NBA?

[jyra]

Is De Yolo on the team?

No, he broke his hand during the preparation for the tournament.

[PingPong]

Looks like Diaw & Splitter are in training camp for the spurs already....

:D

[ElNono]

det Diaw-Splitter matchup :tu

[SpursFan86]

Only been watching since the 2nd half, but it looks like Diaw is carrying France.

[Chinook]

det Diaw-Splitter matchup :tu

Yeah, that was awesome. Splitter is a great defender, and he's pretty much the only one who can check Boris 2.0.

[PingPong]

No, he broke his hand during the preparation for the tournament.


"Nah, I'm too good to be a mere Tony Parker's replacement."

[Spurs Brazil]

Diaw looks fat but is playing very well

[Spurs Brazil]

Huertas with a big 4th quarter

[ElNono]

Eurochamps gonna struggle without DeColo, but it's a long tournament....

[PingPong]

Now Brazil let Batum open and he hits a three...

[jeebus]

Brazil tried to lose it there at the end.

[PingPong]

Brazilian players are too stupid. This backcourt makes me nervous.

[Richie]

Down 3 with 33 seconds left, France fouled. Should have just played some good D and hopefully get the ball back with 8 seconds left and have a shot to tie.

Not to mention they intentionally fouled three times in one possession with about a minute left, and at no time did they try to go for a steal or trap before they fouled.

Watching Exum today vs. Slovenia - there will be a lot of chances for Neto.

[ata]

Batum got 3000 FTAs already

TBH: 4 FTA in the game

[Brunodf]

TBH: 4 FTA in the game
:wowThat cant be right

[testies]

can't believe we didn't choke the game at the end

but the choke will inevitably come vs Argentina in knockout round for the 3000th time

[Ice009]

OK, so they main thing I'm not liking about this is comments about Diaw looking fatter?

Has this guy actually gained weight? If so, what the f is wrong with Boris? Is he not interested in getting in better shape? I thought he might be motivated to work a little harder this off-season and try to come back next season in a little better shape.

He was pivotal in getting #5... he's earned unlimited intakes of Royales with cheese, tbh

[hyhy]

Anyone knows where can I watch a replay of it online?

[spurraider21]

BTW, all games on ESPN3
i prefer the ocho

[Chinook]

Diaw looked great in the fourth quarter. He was absolutely destroying Brazil down the stretch until they put Splitter on him. Tiago shut him down once, and France stopped going at him.

[Baam]

Boris should touch the ball in every possession tbh, especially with the PGs being so weak...

But yeah Boris didn't have much trouble with the Cavs starting center...

[Ice009]

I wouldn't mind watching some of these games. Is there anywhere online that you can pay to watch all the games in the tournament? Does FIBA have a broadband product for the Basketball WC?

btw, he doesn't look too big in those pictures. A few of those comments had me thinking that he'd put on a decent bit of weight.

His numbers look great too. He's a very, very good player when he plays with controlled aggression.

I think the white shirt doesn't do his waist any favors... all games are available on ESPN3.com...

If anyone has had a chance to meet or talk with Boris, you know he's one of the coolest dudes on the team. Very nice guy. I don't care what he looks like as long as he keeps playing well.

[Texas_Ranger]

why is France playing in football jerseys??

[Fireball]

why is France playing in football jerseys??

Adidas is responsible for the national teams outfits and obviously they are trying to push these jersey after they introduced them in the NBA ...

[PingPong]

Fat or not, Diaw carried France on his own.
