Parker and Diawara uncertain, waiting for insurance documents from NBA.
They will play in Latvia but against Georgia, not against Latvia.
It will be interesting to see if Sanikidze will play in this game.

Les premiers chiffres donnés laissent à penser que les deux joueurs NBA sont en forme. "TP" a été le deuxième marqueur des Bleus (12 points, 5 passes), ex aequo avec Ronny Turiaf, derrière Nando De Colo (13) et le "Yak" a marqué 10 points en huit minutes.

He bears a striking resemblence to the guy who won gold in the Decathalon for the U.S.Quote:

That roster is a bit strange with 3 NBA players and a bunch of second or even third hand guys who are here because the two other guys at their spot denied the selection.

Russia should have been at the first game.
If Georgia puts their best on the court, they are more then capable of beating the shit out of France. Names like Boisa, Markoishvili, Ugrekhelidze, Zaza Pachulia, Tyrone Ellis and some others may not be too familiar in your part of the earth, but believe you me...they can play!Quote:

They dont have any real SG and they don't have any Cs worth mentioning. Their golden ages are gone and their best players are retired for a few years now.Quote:

Indeed!
Going from 2FT shy of beating Russia to being lucky to defeat a stunned Georgia team in just one year is a very sad statement.
Or is it just insulting bull from a France hater?
Btw, how many medals for Slovenia in Beijing?
:toast
IAs I mentioned earlier, they lack some team chemistry, but dude !Quote:

What has Georgia done in that span ?
And why would I hate France? I even have some relatives living there. I'm just stating the obvious. Name me one Shooting guard that means something in Europe, even better name me one Center. And don't even try with that Frederic Weis shit (that is the guy Vince Carter jumped over:lmao).Quote:

About the medals in the Olympics.
5....thanks for asking.
That means that Slovenia is third in the world counting medals per head of population (official data). Not to shabby huh?
They're on their way, but most of them dream to play in the NBA. Anyway, I do agree that France is underachieving, but to say they are not favorites against Georgia.... :wowQuote:

French NT sucks right know but they have potential.
With the same generation, they finished 5th in the 2006 world championship behind the top 4 team in the world (usa, spain, argentina, greece) and they were without Tony.
There is no secret, we just have more natural talent then anybody else.Quote:

Just kidding, we are just average Joes, but because of our smallness, every talent is much more cherished then in big systems, which can afford too lose a bunch of their talents true their rigorous selections. Our coaches are much more willing to wait for somebody to develop. Also I believe that big counties are offering bigger range of possibilities for some individual too succeed in many different areas, so their talent gets sprayed.
