FIBA: France vs. Lithuania, bronze medal game

[smaka]

France had almost no time to prepare for the game, while Lithuania had a day off yesterday. Still hoping Diaw & co. win!

Game starts now!

[Venti Quattro]

Why is Batum angry in every play

[smaka]

Because french D sucks today.

It's so funny how the FIBA cameras always seek out the hot chicks in the crowd.

[smaka]

Awful D for France. That's what you get when you need to play a game 18 hours after you finished the first one. Fiba sucks.

[smaka]

Man, Diaw scores on the hardest shots, but misses freebies.

[spursparker9]

Boris with some dream shake

[hyhy]

Diaw finally gets aggressive

[szkorhetz]

Boris Mothafucking Diaw.

[spursparker9]

Boris 2.0 saved the day

[smaka]

[szkorhetz]

[Dex]

Diaw to the line for clutch free throws.

[Dex]

[spursparker9]

lol Boris must be telling the coach to foul instead of giving opponent a chance for a 3.

[Dex]

Annd Batum chokes at the line.

Good shit. Congrats to Diaw and France, and to all French fans! Great run for French basketball.

Batum with 62 points in less than 24 hours. Nice.

Congrats to France!

[Texas_Ranger]

Congrats France, great performance by Boris in the clutch.

[Dex]

Batum with 62 points in less than 24 hours. Nice.

Congrats to France!

Batum played great the last couple games, really carried the load scoring wise and they needed every bit of it.

Yes, he was great on both ends of the court. All that along with impressive shooting %.

[ezau]

Pop should take notes from Collett

[Brazil]

Collet is a solid coach. Playing the right guy at the right moment. He progressed a lot as a coach

[ezau]

Spurs should take a look at that Heurtel kid. He reminds me a lot of Goran Dragic with the way he plays.
