France vs. Brazil - Olympics Game Thread (10:15 AM CST)

[SpursFan86]

Game is about to start right now. On CNBC for anyone trying to watch.

[SpursFan86]

Rough start for France

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Wemby next to Gobert doesn’t work at all.

[John B]

Thanks for posting

[r0drig0lac]

go Brazil...and Wemby

[LeBowen]

Wemby getting Tre a French passport would be huge for their team, that's how awful their guard play has been.

[onechance87]

france so bad

[Dex]

France getting it put on them right now. Between the exhibitions and this start, they may not even medal at this rate

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team blows good god Lmao.

[onechance87]

spurs better do wemby a favor and always have playmakers and shooters on his team.

[SpursFan86]

Beautiful turnaround baseline jumper by Wemby

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Why France insist on playing two bigs at all times is beyond me. There’s zero spacing for anyone to exploit and the athletic advantage is nullified.

[Dex]

Tiago looks exactly the same :lol

They actually haven't because Gobert got two early fouls

Nice dime by Wemby there

[Dex]

Damn, that spin pocket-pass was sweet too...too bad his teammate bobbled it

I know France needs playmaking, but Wemby needs to be selfish if he catches it within 4 feet of the basket

Lessort has been there in place of Gobert.

[r0drig0lac]

Wemby in the france is like Lebron cavs 07

[Dex]

Didn't even notice :lol I guess everyone looks short next to Wemby

[Dex]

Wemby for threeeeeee

France mounting a comeback thanks to Victor

[SpursFan86]

Wemby can’t make his damn FTs today. 1 for 4 now at this point.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

What a great move by Wemby.

Good things happen for France when they play through him. If only they had any spacing. Teams will keep playing zone against them.

[SpursFan86]

Wemby!!! What a face up move

[Dex]

Two straight WEMBY JAMS

[Pauleta14]

I like Vic's body language, he's mad right now

But man what a shitty coaching again, no idea what they work on in practice...

On one hand, it sucks for a 20-year-old kid to feel like he has to do it all himself...same as with the Spurs.

On the other, it may help him realize his potential..and once he does get actual help around him, unlock it.

Just stupid stuff tbh :lol

[LeBowen]

Just stupid stuff tbh :lol

And there will still be people posting about Spurs needing to tank this season.

France's mistake was bringing in the best players regardless of the fit. All they needed were some shooters to make it easier for Wemby.

[baseline bum]

Damn wish the Spurs could have signed Batum

Yep

That's why I LOVE seing him angry

Him as much as his teammates will realise the obvious and stop wasting time

ROFL when DWade kept saying he saw that shit in Space Jam

[poopbox]

Yeah the tank might just legit be over because Victor is already to good. Paul and Barnes are at worst competent nba players. Castle at worse has elite size at the guard position to bully his way to the rim even if he can't shoot for shit. That might legit be all Victor needs to get the spurs the 7th or 8th seed.

[SPURt]

Splitter sighting

depends more on our other young players like sochan,vassell and branham becoming better shooters.

[onechance87]

France getting sloppy

[Pauleta14]

I wish we could've gotten Batum so much...

Fucking missus

[Spurs Homer]

is this on youtube - is it still going?

link?

[onechance87]

france finishing strong now

[Spurs Homer]

found it

[Ignazzz]

It is over

[JPB]

Happy for Nico. Hearing 35K people chanting your name in the Olympics in your country must be a pretty cool sensation.

Looked like a Duncan move but with a dunk instead of a little scoop shot.

[Knoxxx]

The refs missing the hard obvious foul to Wemby’s face on that dunk pissed me off. Though it makes it all the more impressive.

Hopefully the only one who will be here past this season is Devin

Unless you’re a perv or a lazy ass!you get four years with SA.

[DAF86]

Wemby next to Gobert doesn’t work at all.

Who would have known? :wakeup

Wemby best player on floor by far.

France = Popped Spurs :lol

[Barfunk]

50-32 :flag:

[Brazil]

Biggest issue for France other than how to play Gobert and Victor together has been Fournier level of play...

Yep. He has no legs. Max 10-15 min at high intensity

But nothing comes close to Gobert in terms of self handicaping ourselves, he should be used as a role player but Collet doesn't have the balls...

that's not an easy call, on paper Gobert and Victor together is lethal on defense, Victor has the tool to play PF and space the floor... again difficult to use DPOTY off the bench... but France needs to figure out what to do to solve this issue.

He's not good enough technically to combine and wastes most opp to the point that opponents WANT him to get the ball.

DPOY doesn't mean shit in international BB and most voters probably regret voting for him after his embarrassing POs

If Wemby wasn't here, ok, by default, but that's the thing, Wemby IS HERE and he's shown the whole season his ability to "QB" the defense by himself.

Not only it would take away a huge offensive liability but it would add speed, pacing and shooting with a wing or guard instead, allowing to spread the floor and making Wemby A LOT TOUGHER to guard.

France ('s coach) is making thing the easiest possible for our opponents right now.

I think you can get away with not playing your second best player against bad opponent you won't against the likes of Serbia, Canada etc... (leaving USA out of this because against USA it does not matter, you lose). So better find a way
