Can someone explain me this result? Seriously? This Venezuela few days ago in Belgrade was lost to China and Russia, so how the now Spain defeat them with only +2? Just HOW?
He was playing against bums.

at least this gives us hope ... sucking against national teams would be a bad omen.
We need him healthy, then he will be a net positive in the upcoming season ...
How did the Spurs lose to the Knicks last season? Its basketball... anybody can win one game (or come close).
Spain and Spurs are both very strong teams, very. But u can't compare Venezuela and Knicks. C'mon bro, i watched them few days ago...
Well, these are friendly preparation games. Some teams are trying more than others. It's kinda like the NBA preseason when Spurs lost against Alba Berlin.
Regarding Parker, he is looking good/healthy but he hasn't played really well so far except that last game against Ukraine. FNT coach is limiting his minutes and Parker isn't trying too much right now. The goal is to be ready for the Eurobasket that start on September 5th. What Parker will do at the Eurobasket will give a strong hint of what to expect from him for the season.
Speaking of FNT coach, what's general opinion in France about Cole? Is he still under criticism, despite the good results in recent years?
Alba's coach is Serb, sо, it's clear.
BTW, Mitrovic and Keselj are out of Serbian team, now number is 14, so two more players need to be dropped from the team. By my opinion, that will be Stimac and Dangubic/Simonovic. Will see in next few days.
Spain's 12:
Sergio Llull, Sergio Rodríguez, Guillem Vives, Pau Ribas, Rudy Fernández, Fernando San Emeterio, Víctor Claver, Felipe Reyes, Nikola Mirotić, Pablo Aguilar, Pau Gasol i Willy Hernangómez.
They are very weak compared to previous tournaments.
France Georgie now

Actually its not working for me.
Awesome, Sankidize.
Mirotic plays for Spain wtf?..
Yep. He's Montenegrin, but play for Spain. He is in Spain for years (in Real Madrid in 2005) so Spaniards saw that as an opportunity to naturalize him.
There were stories and debates about him and his playing for Montenegro, but, this guy is an idiot and he don't know what he want of himself. When Spanish NT has written-off him from (couple of times) he started with stories about playing for Montenegro. When Spain call him again, he run to them. So, as i say, he is not most normal guy.
He looks more of a Spaniard than Ibaka, though, heh.
True.
Last time I checked there were several non-American athletes in the NBA.
France 74 - 72 Belgium
Good game for TP, the team struggled in the first half, he took care of everything in the second half with 18 points (total 24 points), 8/12 shooting with 3/5 from 3.
The only bad thing is the 5/11 FT (with 0/2 FT in the clutch ofc, so Spurs).
Tough team Belgium. All heart.
That three point shooting is a great sign. Makes me happy to see that. He needs a reliable three now in older age.France 74 - 72 Belgium

It's good indeed but don't forget it's the FIBA 3pt line.
Serbia destroyed Israel
Once again Serbia was impressive during the preparation period winning 85-70 Israel in Tel Aviv. Nedovic was the leading scorer with 16 points being perfect until few minutes before the end.
Nemanja Nedovic scored 16 points with 2/2 2ps and 4/5 3ps missing his last 3p shot. Next to him Simonovic added 13 points, Raduljica 11 more (4/4 2ps) and also Erceg scored double digits (10p). Bogdan Bogdanovic was out and Djordjevic used 13 players.
Dawson was the leading scorer for the hosts (20p) and apart from him only Eliyahu distinguished (12p, 5 rebs, 5 assists). D’or Fischer was out of the roster for Israel. Yaniv Green came back to the action after eight months and this was his 180th game with the Israeli NT being second in participations.
How much closer is it? I wasn't aware it was closer.
