Ginobili said it was "awkward" early because he found himself wishing Parker's shots would miss. Parker: "I wasn't wishing his would miss."

Very eye-opening quotes. This says a lot about their respective characters, loyalty, views on friendship, and how they really view their teammates.

jag is relentless tonite

I was simply stating facts when you tried to engage me with an obviously emotional post about coattail riding, which included classless, tasteless remarks about Tony's near career-ending injury.

Wow, looks like I hit a nerve... I'll try to remember selectively omitting facts next time so you don't get worked up over it.

After all, what's more classy that wife-stealing Tony Parker? What was I thinking?

There's a joke about Tony's injury somewhere there, but I wouldn't want you to get upset about it...

[turkish spurs fan]

Bigger question, what did you guys think about De Colo?

will shot 3 pts %45 next year.

I refuse to enter into a debate with someone who is obviously emotional after seeing his favorite player lead his homeland country to a heart-wrenching loss against a clear underdog. Tony already said everything there is to say by putting the team on his back and playing big when it mattered most.

I'd like to wish Argentina the best of luck, and I hope Manu makes every shot he takes for the rest of the tournament. I know Tony feels the same way.

Manu got lucky not to be whistled on that one tbh.

[ElNono]

Spurs should definitely inquire about Gelable or Seraphin, the best French players today by a wide margin. De Colo and Parker being so-so for most of the game isn't much of a concern, seeing the best player on the court today was Manu Ginobili, who seemingly has plenty in the tank, despite the loss.

[urunobili]

it'd be great to have game grades or thoughts from timvp

question for y'all, if France loses to Lithuania and they're tied with Argentina in games won, will point differential count or will it be on head to head comparison?

[RodNIc91]

Elnono do you think that the wizards would make him available??

great to see that Manu preserved himself playing half of an half season with the spurs to be in great shape for the OG tbh

Who is that? Gelable?

[TimmehC]

Who is that? Gelable?

Seraphin, tbh.

Considering they have Nene and Okafor, he probably won't be seeing a lot of minutes.

Wow, this is surprising...I thought you might be too emotionally invested to debate, like some other poster, but I'm glad you know it's just a game.

Manu had a fine season considering the injury setback, and was the one dropping 25+ pts games against the Thunder... now being the best player on the court today shouldn't be surprising, that's what Manu does.

[ElNono]

Seraphin, tbh.

Considering they have Nene and Okafor, he probably won't be seeing a lot of minutes.

I would ship Bonner for him...

Point differential is one of the tiebreakers... not sure if it's before or after head-to-head

[RodNIc91]

Isnt seraphin a PF? And yes, I was referring to Seraphin not gelabale. He is a free agent.

[RodNIc91]

BTW Elnono you really are the pope of CoM

But I'm too negative

Séraphin averaged 14/7 with Wizards as a starter (21 games). I doubt they will let him go. It isn't a surprise to see him doing well. He has had a great end of the season with Washington.

I was disappointed by De Colo's lack of crunch time minutes but it looked like France was using their size to their advantage defensively. Great game all around as a neutral spectator.

Exactly, towards the end of the season Nene was left on the bench, it's crazy to think Seraphin is not going to get playing time even with Okafor there.
