I am going to watch the last half. I hope France takes it all now.
Allez France!
Allez les bleus!!!
vas-y Tony!
Is a close game. Too close.
damn, no other French player as more than 4 pts.
Tony really needs some offensive help.
olala!!! 44-45 France... :pctoss
3 pointers on the draw and kick are keeping France ahead, but just barely.
TP got robbed by his own player at the end of the 3rd. TP's layup was hanging on the rim and Gelabale tried to stuff it back in and knocked it out.
Diamantidis is showing why he is the Bruce Bowen in Europe.
France isn't passing any more with Parker out. It's Pietrus dribble, move shoot...Diaw dribble, jumpshot...etc. It's like they are a bunch of individuals trying to do their thing.
France down by 1. Right on cue...TP comes back in. Passing and cutting starts up again. France up by 3. :)
both teams shooting crappy, France 39% to 33%, which pretty much why France is winning. If Greece stays cold, France has real chance.
but according to Brewski, Parker doesnt play good in games that mean something to his team.
Brewski is wrong?? noooooooo pish posh.
Yay.
TP with a MAJOR 3 on a post feed and back out with 1:12 left and only up by 4. Now they are up 7. 58-51
ouais! +7 with 1:12 left!!!
France in Euro finals, hahahaha . In this tournament is just to much of suprises :lol :lol
Tony's trois could end up being the dagger!!
Slovenia made the W.C.
France's success is just icing!
FR hitting their FTs in crunch time!
Who did Slovenia beat to get in?
Michael Pietrus played no D and let them score too easily then almost gave it back on the inbounds pass. His brother Florient bails him out with 2 FTs.

I honestly dont see much of one.
Papaloukis does ANOTHER drive-by on Micahel Pietrus. Diaw with a great flush running the floor, then Gelabale inexplicably fouls on a three-point attempt. Numskull play with 48 secs. and of course, Zisis makes all 3. 62-58.
Now it will be a foul fest.
TP misses both FTs. :wow
Fortunately, Papaloukis is trying to do it all and he puts up a wild banker and turns it over. France caught a major break there. 62-58.
TP throws the inbounds pass to Michael Pietrus too wide. Noooo.
Tony choked with game on the line
hilarious.
Didnt choke with the 3, but choked with the FT.
Selective critisizm.
Classic.
as long as he doesn't do that with the spurs im fine wit it.
Papadopoulis easily posts up Michael Pietrus for the layup. TP fouled up by 2. 26 secs left. Yes, nails both FTs.
Tony's get his crunch FT % up to 50%!!
Rigadeau blew it.
Unreal.
Parker did his part with 20 points.
Holy cow!
Greece burned France
Papaloukis scores again with under 20 to play. 2 point lead for France.
Rigaudeau fouled with 13 left. Makes only 1 of 2 FTs.
Diaw fouls. :wow
Papaloukis nails both 65-64, France by a thread.
Rigaudeau fouled misses first, makes 2nd.
Wow Diamantidis nails a three to win!!!
Damn, damn, damn. France blew a 7 PT lead in crunch time.
France chokes. TP, Rigaudeau and Pietrus choked it away.
Omg...that was incredible...how could the french let this one go? :o
That was the European 0.4. the last shot I mean... who would have thought!
All 5 guys for France blew the 7 point lead.
Pietrus defense horrendous.
TP's wide pass and missed FTs.
Gelabale's foul on a three point attempt, all 3 FTs are made.
Diaw's foul wayyyy too early.
Rigaudeau's 2 missed FTs.
Diamantidis' 3 was over TP after TP over-collapsed on D. :depressed

Hello Michael Pietrus??
Rigadeu?
terrible.
:depressed i was really rooting for France
Wow!
Who gives a shit thread...
Jk jk jk jk ^
I was rooting for France too. They were my second pick.
Time for Dirk to take all the marbles.
I thought Slovenia is playing Greece in the finals?
I've never seen a team commit as great an end of game clusterfuck as France just did.
Blowing a 7 point lead with 40 seconds left. Missing FTs. Dumb fouls. Dumb TOs. Playing straight man to man D instead of zone and letting Greece spread the floor and drive to the hoop. TP drifting and leaving his man for a wide open 3. I hope people don't start jumping off the Eiffel Tower.
Yes baby!
A great day for Greek basketball, this team believes...
I guess Spain is the last obstacle.
Does this mean that Parker is done with this Euro basketball stuff?
They'll play tomorrow for 3rd place.
:pctoss
God Parker, come home already, stop messing with those fucktards.
Waiting for Brewski to post, how Parker was responsible for this, and any disagreement, is a homerish excuse.
Poor Tony.
Maybe next time Tony will listen to coach Pop and keep his ass over here to work on his game.
What a waste of time.
You're a waste of air.Quote:

How can anyone be disappointed with France? They weren't supposed to win the game over Serbia or Lithuania.
If you want to be disappointed, be disappointed at Slovenia, who was supposed to beat Germany.
Tony and Rasho both got their teams to the World Championships and have every reason to feel proud and happy.
I know I am.
And France can still medal. Just need the win tomorrow. = )
