Good to hear about Ian. Hope he comes into camp healthy. I am really rooting for him.

Ian won't play today but should be back tomorrow against Russia.

Is this guy made of glass? Good lord, how is he going to handle the NBA level grind?

Is this guy made of glass?

If you had seen the play where he got injured, you wouldn't say that.

There is not point in even trying. You are not going to change some people's minds.

And besides, it doesn't sound too serious

i have to disagree. OK the collision with the ground was hard but look before at the reason why he ended there. he was send flying by a way more little player. Ian is very light on the lower body. imagine shaq or even the average NBA big in the same situation, he wouldn't even have moved of the ground.

not the same thing as made of glass but still related to his physical abilities.

None of this matters if the guy can't get on the court.

Well Ian was in the air when he was hit by the German player.
He got injured more because he is a 6'11" player that jumped very high.

Is Ian ready to play for this game ?

EDIT: OK, didn't see your previous answer at this question. he'll be ready tomorrow, thanks.

Hope it's nothing serious and he can shake it off quickly. If Mahinmi even has to miss a day of training camp, you can expect excessive use of the pctoss emoticon.

[kace]

wow. 16-15 after 18 minutes.

Diaw and De Colo horrible. Turiaf with in big foul troubles. and tony in difficulty with his shot.

[sonic21]

i just checked the score

wtf

[sonic21]

i'm glad i can't watch this game

[kace]

3 pts in second quarter for France (10 min).

21-16 at half time for Latvia. Ugly game.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Like I said the average NBA player is overrated . It's amazing that NBA fans are so deluded.

[polandprzem]

OIt was really nice game, good pace and passion.

Some turnovers and chaos sometimes but it did not spoiled the game much.

[BOHOLANO#21]

FNT won so WTF wrong with KBP...

[TimDunkem]

He didn't break anything....

[timaios]

France points by quarter :

1 = 13
2 = 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 = 25
4 = 19

[Bukefal]

If France manages to stick on first place in the group, and we - Macedonia stay on the third spot, which we will, we will play eachother i guess. Looking forward, Macedonia to play Parker, that would be cool.
