What a feeling guys!!!!!!
I NEVER at no point expected us to be in Final...
Wow
Yabusele is pretty good too. He reminds me of Boris Diaw with his build and movement.

Wow
They have him playing on the perimeter because no one on that team can shoot, and their go to play is post ups for their forwards. There is almost no movement in France’s offense. Almost no screens. It’s just a very archaic game, which I guess you can get away with in fiba where there is no three second rule.
What a win by France
That was pure heart
Yabusele is a ing beast sign him up on the Spurs ASAP
ALSO Cordinier and Lessort tbqh
They obliterated Germany
Pure heart
You gotta take advantage of the rare opportunity to have home court advantage at the Olympics!
no ballhandling, shooting, or playmaking
he's just a bull
Congrats
It was well deserved
Pretty sure coach Pop had some pointers for that weak French coach
Well there is an offensive 3 seconds rule, right? Just not defensive.
I don’t what you people are seeing in yabusele thinking he can play in the nba. That back to basket post up is not working in the nba.
Oh, my bad.but I still don’t see them doing anything to get wemby the in movement in the paint. It’s either a pass to him beyond the three point line or a post up.
Vic owns France a good game in the finale. He's been there defensively but otherwise has had some disappointing Olympics. One can blame the system, the coach, the teammates, but at some point he gotta step up and assert himself.
Holy that was a great win ! We earned the right to get our butt kicked in the final game but I will take dat silver medal.
Defense carries France, after Canada 80 pts, Germany below 70... good stuff
Vic is the only reason France advances to the final, he is anchoring that defense like a beast, I'd call that a good game
but FIBA is really a different animal, ask our Duncan or Giannis.
Um noone is saying he should start.as an 8th man he would be amazing
Sign him up
great game
Also Gobert will play in the final and plus home court it will be a great final
Just watched replay in slow mo. While German defender did get his hand on ball, he was all over #8s shoulder and head on the way down to get to the ball. (#8 Frency elected to bring the ball down. Very bad move IMO.
Good call tho.
Krouts do not have legit on that play.
Still that #8 several times this game looks like he has simply not played in high level compe ion.
#8 is Isaïa Cordinier not Forneir.
i mean, he's always taking the attention of 2-4 players, nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, you're right about that (and I mentioned it vs. Canada) but, it's fair to say everyone was expecting the good defense + offensive dominance. He's been Mutombo so far, not Wemby. AGain, if he's even decent offensviely France doesn't even sweat the last two games. And you can see he's frustrated. Didn't stop to talk to the media after today's game.
it could be an atrocious final tbh, if franca can't keep the pace ultra slow, they will get blown out into the stratosphereAlso Gobert will play in the final and plus home court it will be a great final
Not that much, he's taking the shoots. but went 4/17 tonight after going 2/10 vs. Canada. that's 6/27 including 1/16 on 3.
Yikes.
Well yeah France doesn't win without Wemby
But also France doesn't win without Yabusele and Cordinier
This is such an invaluable experience for Wemby and it’ll make him a better player. Even when he struggles offensively he always finds multiple ways to help his team.
Happy for France. Congrats to our french posters and good luck in the final, I’ll be rooting for them.
I have high confidence it will be a great final
France will compete for 3 quarters
And win a great Silver to go with it
