Anyone that cares for the development of players jackass.We still won, so who cares...
how did they go against serbia
the game is in 3 hours!
So France is trying to win and place fifth instead of sixth?
yeah.. that's the loser finals! lol
Here are the stats of the other french players agains Russia:
Galabale (Sonics): 13 PTS 5/12 FG 2/6 3PT
Rigaudeau (Ex-Mavs): 3 PTS 1/5 FG 1/3 3PT 1 AST
Pietrus (Warrios): 3 PTS 1/6 FG 0/5 3PT 1 AST
Diaw (Hawks): 17 PTS 5/10 FG 0/1 3PT 3 AST
S&MN : France 99:72 (80:51, 53:36, 21:23)
Milojevic 21, Gurovic 18, Krstic; M. Pietrus 18, Parker 12
....some problems with french guys.. Diaw is great but tony and rigaudeau..
TP and Longoria are the special guest in a french show tonight, please tony, play basketball!!
Tony is becoming "celebrity" and playing more ty......
ok for other players , its holyday time..but i hope to see tony in euro finals
On which show?
Hmm.. I don't think so, he hasn't become more popular this year with his 2nd ring than before.. He did a lot of tv shows last year!
On what facts are you saying that he's "playing more ty"? I'm not a huge Parker fan, I like what he does on the court but it's obvious for French ppl that he's showing too much during interviews..
I was a Spurs fan long time before TP arrived on the team and my all time favorite is David Robinson, so I don't want people to misunderstand and think I'm on TP's because I'm french.
I haven't seen the last game against S&M but he did OK against Turkey, TP tries to pass the ball and involve his teamates but he surely needs to be more agressive and be a leader for French team!
According to me, TP hasn't played more ty than what he used to do. ;D
All-tournament First Team:
PG - Leandro Barbosa (Brazil) - 20.3 ppg, 5 rpg, 4.2 apg (before tonight's game)
SG - Marcelo Machado (Brazil) - 23.8 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 5.5 apg (before tonight's game)
SF - Francisco Garcia (Dominican Republic) - 18.9 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 2 apg
PF - Hector Romero (Venezuela) - 16.7 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 1.8 apg
C - Esteban Batista (Uruguay) - 18 ppg, 15.6 rpg
I think Barbosa is going to surprise some people this year along with Diaw.
Any words on the dunk Diaw threw down over Kirilenko?
If you don't remember, then perhaps the following was exaggerated.
Would love some details. Maybe even a video. I got nothin' but this article and my imagination.Euro 2005 : 4th straight loss for the France
Sep. 1, 2005
by Laurent Sallard
The French National Team recorded on Thursday its fourth straight loss in five game (73-69) against Russia in Istanbul....
In the first quarter, the French NT played very well both offensively and defensively. Boris Diaw (203-F/G-82) was at the same level as he was on Tuesday's game and scored 9 points in the first ten minutes. He also released the most spectacular move of the tournament, finishing a coast-to-coast with a powerfull one-handed dunk on Andrei Kirilenko (205-F-81) after jumping from just beyond the free-throw line.
He's not playing in the NBA... I'd like to see it against an NBA team, then I'd be happy.
And I do care about development...but cmon, barbosa averaging 20 ppg over there, tony has to do somewthing.
And we still won, who cares moron.
I hope France looses all their games that way Tony will not be committed to playing in any future summer Olympic qualifying tourneys
Call me selfish but I dont give a about any Olympic team, including team USA
Although last summer I supported Team USA and Arg but only because there was a Spur on those teams.
I am totally against players of the Spurs representing their country in the Olympics but will support the players choice to do so.
It is unfair to compare the America with the Euro game. Euro game is more advanced, the nearest to NBA that you will ever find. America is ... OK but not the same. Sorry but, playing Uruguay, Dominican Rep etc. is not the same that playing Serbia, Italy, Spain etc, etc. THose Serbians would wipe the ass of Brazil in a minute ( or not I don't know).

This dunk was realyawesome. Diaw is a great dunker and has the level to do the dunk contest. I've watch a dunk contest he made in France and he was very good.
He could be a great fit for Suns but I fear you put him at the PG spot, I think his natural place is SF.
Limoges tournament

France will play against Bulgaria tonight.
Parkers been putting up good assist numbers. I thought in Europe they were a lot stricter on what they called an assist. How is he getting his assits? Drive and kick like usual or some other way?
France won today against Bulgaria (98-59)
TP has good stats: 20 PTS 7/11 FG 4/6 3PT 3/4 FT 7 AST 4 RB 2 TO in 32 min
Mickael Pietrus 23
Gelabale 11
Boris Diaw 14
Good news for french team : Frédéric Weis will play the euro. He is a 7-2 center and was a lotery pick drafted by the knicks. Remember, Vince Pussy Carter dunked over him in Sidney.

Off topic, This is the first time I saw this:
That picture had me laughing my ass off.
Is that Beno's swollen knee or something else?
