NBA TV To Broadcast EuroBasket

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22 September 2005
NBA TV has become FIBA Europe’s latest broadcast partner for EuroBasket 2005.

It was announced today that NBA TV will broadcast the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the competition, all live.

The contract with NBA TV brings the total number of territories where EuroBasket will be televised to over 120 countries across the world.

For those countries where EuroBasket is not being televised, games can be followed live online at www.

Ratings for EuroBasket have been good and with the latter stages of the competition starting on Thursday, and six World Championship places up for grabs, audience figures are expected to increase from the quarter-final stage onwards.

Edit: Sorry if it is posted already

I don't have nba tv but I can watch online so yea!

I'm watching Greece vs. Russia while I wait for Tony's game. Is different with English commentators. Fun though.

Krhyapa makes three for Russia

50-47 Greece

Russia only down 1 now

Now down 3 2:45 to play

Andre has 4 fouls

Greece wants it.

and will take it!

looks that way. Greece up six with one minute.

Andre just got elbowed. He has a bloody nose commentator said but is still in.

I never thought I will say this: GO GREECE!!!

Russia 3 pointer....
Greece only up three. On foul line... Now up 5

Turnover Russia.

I think it is well worth the money. But you could always find a friend with NBA t.v. and watch together.

AK47 - 20pts, 16rbs he is a BEAST. Too bad they lost

I just hope Rita doesn't come between me and my man this weekend.

Go Rasho!!!!!

= )

Rasho for MVP of Euro Basketball!!!!

what US CST does the France game start?

1:30 PM (in 15 min.)

I'm watching! = )

Me to!! :smokin

Is Tony not starting?

wait there he is

He didn't start against SCG, and we all know what happened :)

I don't think he is a starter today

Lithuania will win 100%...

If I hadn't messed up my v-Bookie bet I'd have more fun watching this.

For me to win Tony has to lose. = (

He needs win more but it was fun being rich.

He's not.

This is some awful ball handling.

Here comes Parker.. should be more organized now.

That last Lit play would have been cool if they had finished it.

WTF is Lithuania doing?

I have no idea.. Lit is going to cost me my V-Bookie.

Just as well, unless Parker is playing Slovenia I can't root against him.

In the qualifying round Lit showed the best organized game of all the participants. Must be that the Slivovica is not agreeing with them.


Slivovica=Strong Serbian plum brandy

Parker is the difference maker

France is hot FG% 47% vs 23%.

All right Tony! Represent!

tony entered and made 4 assists in 5mn. tony is alive

....

but not in great shape just yet. missed 2FT and a 3pointer consecutively.

Tony saved France... they got good when he came in.

France is on the war path.

France 32 : 16 Lithuania - Halftime

i think you mean Boris saved france: 100%3pt 11pt 5rbs


Javtokas attempted a buzzer 3pt...

Not to take anything away from France but LIT looks like they spent too much time partying with the Serbs.

Javtokas 6 RB!

Tony brought order which I think opened up the others to have their great plays.

It was a team effort.


I'm not a huge Tony fan. I just think he deserves props for his play today.

The difference in the game is Boris Diaw... 3/3 from downtown! France is outrebounding Lit badly. Rebounds and 3pt effectiveness are the keys to the game so far.

the french coaching staff is really good. they should receive more kudos for their job

I agree.

French defense is the main reason for Lithuanian shitty play. French guards are really doing their job today on defense. They start guarding the oponents at halfcourt and that has completely destroyed organization of Lithuanian offense.

Lithuania is really missing Jasikevicius today. Gineviciuse just ain't cutting it...

Before this game Lithuania has had an average of 88 ppg.
Today France held them on only 18 points in halftime. Thats 26 less then what they normally score in this time (44) (a bit of generalization here of course)...
Pretty amazing.

Edit: Ooops, I was even off by two points. They scored only 16...

Lithuania has huge problems with organizing of their offense. France is covering Lithuanian guards way behind 3pt line.

What's the score people?!

Ok, Ozzy was faster than me.

34:19

FR 34 - 19, 8:20 in the 3Q

here is the comeback

Pietrus - Gelabale - Diaw are all defensive studs
it helps

one day i hope one of them will be a spurs

how can france dominate on offensive boards? lithuania has a problem, seems france want it more!

France cooling off, 39 FG% vs 34%

Ok, nice tittle for a game, but ok

Nice WNBA game

You can get your answer here

France is one of the best teams in offensive rebounds.

Damn I was suppose to make a bet on both slo and fra :pctoss
It was my first thought :pctoss

If you score only 16 Points in a half, the defense have a good job, but you shoot like a shit

It's like France hung out laying low, waiting for this part of the tournament.

LT wins 3Q, 20 - 12

10mn to hold the victory. come on guys. you can pull it!

TP missed 2 FT and a 2FGA in the last 15 seconds

Looking at the shot chart, neither team is doing any inside scoring.

:lol Have you seen Diaw play in the NBA?

He has to be the most passive player at the NBA level.

Much as I wanted my V-Bookie money, France deserves this win.

Take em Tony!

Diaw: 17 Pts 46-36

TP: 2 Pointsssssssssssss and counting for 4 points
