NANDO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Without Tony he save the French team @ the buzzer
He can be a great combo guard for the Spurs right now !
France
3 pts 1/17
FT 17/33
De colo 18 pts
I didn't watch the game but France won 70-69 against Hungary. Nando scored 18 points and hit the buzzer beater. He is a player that likes to take the last shot.

It's the end of the preparation games. French NT is shooting 51.8% from the FT line over these 4 games, that's damn ugly.
Next game is the first qualification game in Italy. It's a huge game and if France lose by a big margin, their summer is basically over. Let's hope TP will be here and in quite good shape.

Tony will not play the 1st game against Italy.
So again, French NT without 3 starters : Parker, M.Pietrus & Noah.
I just want to see that team play with all his best players, just one time.
according to lequipe (french site), the spurs ask tony to come back to san antonio. He will not play against italy wednesday. It's not sure he'll play the remaining games too...

Great.
Spurs' crappy medical staff acts again.
That sucks
It looks like every time TP goes to play for France something bad happen. And in the end TP, France and the Spurs are upset. I hope TP is healthy and France can win games
his injury is not serious wtf
The same staff that helped Javtokas play basketball again? lol: Any way... I know it's frustrating for French NT so I sympathize with you.Great.
Spurs' crappy medical staff acts again.
It's very strange. It looks like Spurs doctors and French doctors never agree
I'm surprised Chump hasn't called you out for not being an "expert" yet.Great.
Spurs' crappy medical staff acts again.
The same staff that ed up everything ankle related these past couple of years.
I'm quite sure the doctors that have seen him in France are more competent than the ones in SA. Spurs medical staff is so great that Manu and Ian have had their surgeries in LA.
And even as a Spurs fan who don't care about French NT, it isn't a good news. TP is quite pissed about what happened and it could bite Spurs in the ass later.
Seriously i am tired of the fact that the NBA the French NT (and other NT).
Every year it's the same story. Diaw, Pietrus, Noah, Parker...
French NT had a great generation, and we've never seen them play all together.
Imagine if the football clubs did the same thing with Ribery, Henry, Zidane etc...
What is the future... cancel World Cups ??? Basket, Football ("soccer"). Who's next ?
The NBA is killing international compe ion.
It's a shame !
You mad?
Yes and you should too.You mad?
I'm quite sure you won't be happy if TP doesn't re-sign with Spurs in 2011 because of that.
I have no idea who made the call for TP to come back to the USA, perhaps you know the details Bruno, but if I were guessing, I'd say it was mostly Pop's decision.
Will Sevening is a very good trainer and I know David Schmidt is an outstanding Ortho doc. The other team doctor, Paul Saenz, I'm not sure about. I really don't get the impression that Manu's and Ian's foot and leg injuries were because of poor treatment by the team's physicians and trainers.
You seem to be quick to jump to conclusions. Why would you think this would make him so mad that it could be the main reason he might not re-sign?
And what proof do you have that the Spurs doctors are worse than the French? How can you be sure it was the Spurs doctors fault with Ian and Manu?
I don't understand blaming the Spurs' doctors in this scenario. The French doctors once again rushed to say Parker's injury was minor. Just like they did with his broken finger and other ankle injury.
Obviously it isn't minor because Parker can't play and agreed to fly back to San Antonio. If it were a "very minor" injury like was reported, Parker could have ignored the Spurs and played. But even before the Spurs went over to France, there was talk about TP being out for a couple of weeks instead of the original couple of days.
If the French NT wants to build trust with the Spurs, immediately claiming that every injury is minor and then bashing Parker and the Spurs for not playing through non-minor injuries is not the way to go.
Initially lying about the "very minor" injury for the third time in four summers or whatever it is gets old really fast ... especially when you have so many millions of dollars at stake. If France misdiagnoses TP's injury and he has a noodle ankle again this year, all the money spent by Holt would go down the drain.

Parker rentre à San Antonio
Info L'Equipe : Tony Parker rentre aux Etats-Unis. En effet, après avoir pris connaissance des examens médicaux passés par le meneur français, le staff des San Antonio Spurs lui a demandé de revenir au club.
Tony Parker doit rentrer à San Antonio à la demande du staff de son club.(EQ)
Tony Parker doit rentrer à San Antonio à la demande du staff de son club.(EQ)
C'est un coup de tonnerre qui vient de frapper l'équipe de France. Juste après avoir péniblement réussi à battre la Hongrie (70-69), jeudi soir en match de préparation aux repêchages de l'Euro, les Bleus ont appris que Tony Parker devait rentrer à San Antonio, à la demande des Spurs. «Le meneur français, à la surprise générale, a été prié de regagner les Etat-Unis afin d'être vu par sa franchise, explique un communiqué de la Fédération française. Mercredi, à la demande de son club, le staff de l'équipe de France avait fait passer au joueur une IRM de sa cheville, qui a confirmé le premier diagnostic : une entorse bénigne».
Sa participation en doute pour Italie-France
Les dirigeants de San Antonio veulent donc que Parker rentrer au Texas afin de «subir des examens complémentaires», alors que, toujours d'après le communiqué de la FFBB, «les soins prodigués en équipe de France devaient permettre un retour rapide du joueur à la compé ion». En effet, le meneur français «marche normalement» et avait recommencé à courir. Ce voyage aux Etats-Unis laisse planer de sérieux doutes sur la participation de "TP" au match de repêchage contre l'Italie, le 5 août à Cagliari. Le staff des Bleus «ne sait pas s'il sera de retour pour (ce match) et pour les matches qui suivent».
Parker : «Je ne comprends sincèrement pas cette décision»
Le forfait du joueur n'est donc pas certain, mais, même si les Spurs laissaient Parker repartir vers l'Europe un jour après son retour à San Antonio, cela ne cons uerait pas une préparation idéale avant un match d'une telle importance, avec 22h d'avions dans les jambes et trois jours sans entraînement. Les rares personnes qui ont pu croiser "TP" à sa sortie du stade de Coubertin, l'ont vu très contrarié. Le joueur n'a pu s'exprimer que par le biais du communiqué de la Fédération : «Je ne comprends sincèrement pas cette décision, après tous les test effectués en commun» entre l'équipe de France et les Spurs. «Je regrette ce qui se passe. Je suis obligé de suivre les injonctions de mon club, poursuit Parker. J'espère revenir au plus vite pour disputer les matches de qualification».
Parker s'envole vendredi matin en direction de San Antonio, en compagnie de l'osthéopate des Bleus, dépêché par le staff tricolore afin de «continuer les soins entamés» et de «permettre le retour» du joueur. Affaire à suivre.
Parker : "i sincerely don't understand this decision"
I'm not sure what there is to understand. If he could play, he'd be playing and this wouldn't be an issue. He's obviously hurt (he wasn't for sure going to play against Italy before the Spurs did anything) and the Spurs asked him to come back to do further tests. He could have pulled a Manu and said no and continue playing.
Parker holds all the cards in this situation.
False.
FYI, Parker was seen in France by French NT staff and by a doctor directly picked by Spurs. The doctor picked by Spurs said that Parker injury was minor.
