Olympic Game Blog: France vs USA

[100%duncan]

I hope France can at least make this interesting.

[racm]

Didn't Brazil expose their weakness to the pick and roll?

If Parker is even half the player he is pre-injury France should be compe ive.

[100%duncan]

^ No they wont.

[ace3g]

this game is all about De Colo, get to see his speed/athleticism compared to other NBA players

[timvp]

Considering that 60% of their starting lineup are Spurs ...................... Go France Go

^LJ, how do you think will France do?

[Bruno]

France doesn't have the tools to create some kind of troubles to the USA. Spain with the Gasols is the only team that can make it close.

It should be an easy for the USA but it doesn't matter for France since their Olympic tournament will really start Tuesday against Argentina.

I expect them to lose by about 25. TP isn't in shape (from what I've seen, at least) and that alone dooms their chances. And outside of TP and maybe De Colo, France has no playmakers. I expect Team USA to press and trap TP as much as possible to force others to beat them ... and no one else is capable.

A healthy TP may not even make that much of a difference too, right?

Team USA has the advantage on the wings so much they could win the game by themselves.

Team USA should focus on letting Parker score because if he makes plays...

[100%duncan]

Team USA has all the advantages there ever will be.

Team USA should focus on letting Parker score because it won't matter

[timaios]

A FNT with Parker at 100% and Noah could have made this interesting
