I missed the France vs Australia game

[lefty]

Which PG was the best ?

[Diego20]

the one that isn't fat

[testies]

Seriously, why do French national underperform so much,? Is it the racial tension between the teammates? The football team is also filled with talent but sucks hard

[bklynspursfan]

TP seemed to try to bring France back, I saw he scored 14 in the 2nd. Glad to see he's still got that in him .he'll prove some of these clowns on here wrong.

Happy to see Patty shoot well. He worked out like crazy this summer, and we need his offense and shooting big time next season. Hopefully the shoulder surgery is a thing of the past

Because they are all selfish players except Diaw.

[dabom]

:lol

[gambit1990]

not tony "two assists" parker.

[gambit1990]

delly had 10 assists, that nigga was getting the ball where it needed to be. he was throwing some great lobs. he'd get dedmon way easier buckets than parker can.

[JohnnyMax]

parker: 18 points (on 6 of 14 shooting), 2 assists... $14.5 million salary
patty: 21 points (on 7 of 15 shooting), 5 assists... $3.5 million salary

[coachmac87]

France defense was a joke..Aussies were getting backed door dunks and lay ups..

[illusioNtEk]

TP took over in the 2nd half... all other french players look slow lol

[dabom]

TP took over in the 2nd half... all other french players look slow lol

No he didn't. :lol

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Gobert is overrated. Baynes and Bogut owned him. Parker and Diaw only players that showed up.

[RD2191]

TP took over in the 2nd half... all other french players look slow lol

Took what over? The food court?

[hooperflash]

No he didn't. :lol

The team gave him a few minutes, I'm sure he meant second quarter.

[Solid D]

France had awful defensive discipline. What appeared to be cluelessness on rotations and very little intensity. Gelebale's defensive IQ was negligible. Bogut dominated the paint defensively when he was in there and his passing on offense was outstanding. Aron Baynes played tough. Patty outplayed Tony. Boris was just meh.

[gambit1990]

in the second half one of the announcers said something like, "it's interesting how the spurs starting point is on the bench and patty mills for australia seems to be the catalyst of their team."

Because we have the worst coach you can imagine, no talent, no charisma, keep failing with every clubs he worked for and still maintained as head coach of the NT...:bang

Of course not only that, but that's the key reason to me because a good coach can make average player good and build a real team chemistry, compensate with his coaching...

The leaders are getting old also, but the coach sucks sooo much it's unbelievable.

[spursparker9]

Got highlight video?

[dabom]

I'm sure too... :lol

[SASdynasty!]

Patty was almost the best player on his team tbh.

[K...]

Patty is a good player. He just doesn't have nba level size to be a great player. He's o.k..

Also, he has more continuity than France did. Continuity favors Parker on the spurs

[toki9]

Patty was almost the best player on his team tbh.

So who was the best player?

[K...]

So who was the best player?

Bogut

[dabom]

We don't need him to be great. :lol

[99 Problems]

France had big problems with Bogut and David Anderson. The Aussie bigs monstered them.
Bogut and King Delly's passing was top notch.
France made Bogut look like Shaq.
TP looked good in the 2nd and a few minutes in the 3rd but looked out of gas and big name team mates went missing.
Broekhoff was very good and as I have said in the think tank he'll play NBA.
Millsy worked very hard off the ball and got his.
Australia should medal - if Bogut stays fit.

Chris Paul, Lowry, and Isiah Thomas are the same height as Mills.

[dabom]

Funny cause Tony Parker is a fucking fatfuck. :lol

[tenbeersbold]

GSW losing Bogut is gonna be a bigger problem than they think.Once he got injured in the Finals,Cleveland ran a train in da paint

[Austin_Toros]

Australia should medal - if Bogut stays fit.

Man this would be huge for Aussie basketball if it happened.

[look_at_g_shred]

Took what over? The food court?
:lol

nah, he won't

[dbestpro]

The Spurs should think about giving Mills time as the starting PG, and use TP for offensive bursts from the bench. It will be the best way to hide TPs defense, and still get out of him what he has left.

[DPG21920]

Mills is no where near a starting PG. Like, not even close. The SL would literally have no ball handling at all and would be the worst ball handling SL in the league by a wide margin.

[gambit1990]

i'd start patty over parker. i'd start murray over him before that though.

what sucks about murray starting is that manu and mills would have to come off the bench with tp.

tp doesn't fit in the starting line up... and it's an awkward fit at best with him coming off the bench.

Yeah. I've seen Manu and TP play together and it ain't an offensive juggernaut. :lol

And it's worse defensively. :lmao

TP is a shitty PG nowaways. One of the worst in the league and probably the worst for a playoff team. Dude is a tomato can.

OKC Series 2016:

Parker: 11/6/3 on 47%
Mills: 4/2/2 on 42% (23% from 3)

[DPG21920]

Parker fits well enough with the SL. People will see TP have more success with Pau instead of Tim. That threat of scoring from Pau will open things up for TP.

[bklynspursfan]

nah, he won't

Meh. I think he will.

[dabom]

People still relying on a has been. :lol

I think their coaching sucks.

Better than a never-was tbh.

[dabom]

Better than a never-was tbh.
You just acknowledged he is washed up. :lol

[SASdynasty!]

You just acknowledged he is washed up. :lol
Well if you mean he's not averaging 22/7 anymore or averaging 30 PPG in playoff series, then yah, he's not the same.

[gambit1990]

after three games de colo is averaging 15.7 on 52.4% shooting compared to parker's 12.8 on 48% shooting.
getting outplayed by nando de colo :lol
