I've changed the le for people who also want to talk about Americas tournament.
2011 Eurobasket will feature up to 8 players (Parker, De Colo, Richards, Bertans, Hanga, Lorbek, Javtokas and Sanikdize) who play for Spurs or whose NBA draft rights are owned by Spurs. If you add the olympic qulaifying tournament in Argentina with Ginobili, Splitter and Joseph, there will have up to 11 players related to Spurs playing this summer FIBA competions.
Does the site stream any of those games?
Tomorrow at 9:30pm (2:30pm in SA), there will have a friendly game between Spain and France. It should be fun. I will try to post a ling to a stream just before it.
Thanks bruno, good idea with the addition of other tourney..Spain vs France should be pretty good basketball.
Thanks! Would love to try to catch some of these games and keep up with this stuff. Great idea.
Slovenia is currently playing against Croatia.
Lorbek is #15 white.

It's a friendly game part of a tournament between ex Yugoslavian countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Macedonia).
All games played before August 31 will be friendly games. The only exception are for Hungary (with Hanga), Finland and Portugal who will play a qualifying tournament for the Eurobasket.
Lorbek doing typical Lorbek in this game even if he isn't playing great.
pretty entertaining game thanks..

i heard that tiago is injured and has not played the last two games. does anybody kwon what happened to him?
FIBA Americas will have quite a few NBA players and people involved this summer, although not all Spurs related.
NBA Players (or former NBA players) playing the olympic qualifiers:
Argentina: Ginobili, Oberto, Scola, Nocioni, Delfino, Pepe Sanchez
Brazil: Tiago Splitter
Puerto Rico: Peter John Ramos, JJ Barea, Carlos Arroyo, Renaldo Balkman, Daniel Santiago
Venezuela: Gervais Vazquez, Eric Musselman (coach)
Gregg Popovich will also be hosting a basketball camp in the city.
mild muscle soreness
man this guy is soft like a toilet paper.
I just think Mangnano didn't want to risk him against a weak opponent on a meaningless game. It's the right thing to do.
i hope you are right nono. we need tiago healthy for next year if he want to be our starting center.
How is Ibaka playing for spain? That seems unfair. Isn't he from the Congo?
France bigs playing super sloppy.
45-21 at the half for Spain.
Spain is playing great with an awesome Pau Gasol. France sucks with a poor effort defensively and an inability to hit outside shots. De Colo and Parker are bad.
He has been naturalized and FIBA allows national teams to have 1 naturalized player.
For some naturalized players, it's legit but they are a lot of abuse. It's mostly with small countries but Spain is now doing it and they should be ashamed of that. They stole players of other countries like Ibaka and Mirotic.
Final score: 77-53 for Spain.
Spain was damn impressive. They are so deep and so talented. I seriously think they can beat the USA at the Olympic games next year. Team USA better bring their A team next year especially in the paint to counter Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol and Ibaka.
Parker wasn't that bad but refs haven't helped him. De Colo was a no show. Gelabale would look great with a Spurs jersey.
Hungary lost 71-66 against Portugal. Hanga scored 11 points.

http://london2012.fiba.com/pages/eng...6232/game.html
Parker scored 25 points, De Colo 8 points and Richards had 0 points and 2 rebounds in 8 minutes.
Pop was spotted watching the game and was discussing with Ivkovic.
Just 8 minutes for Richards? Is he hurt?
