    Just a few thoughts about the game:

    First: Congrats France!

    I was really happy to see how Tony played. He looked really great. He took good care of the pace and took good shots, he was a real leader. It was also great to see that he was able to knock down the 3.

    That said, I disagree with those who say that Dirk choked. France is WAY better than Germany as a team. Besides Dirk and Okulaja the rest of the team is medicore at best. In the first half Dirk could not buy a call (of course it was not the reason they lost). France was better and they deserve to win. But Dirk still leads the tournament in scoring, so he is not really choking, his team just is not that good. If the team advances to the final 8 it will be great for them.

    Looking forward to the next games!

    Parker's supporting cast is way better than Dirk's one. It's quite amazing to see what Germany is able to do with so little talent around Dirk. Germany being not that bad is too a proof that Dirk is a great player.

    About Florent Pietrus : I really like him but I'm not sure that he is good enough to play in nba. He did a good job on Dirk and a player with his profile could really help Spurs as a small ball PF.
    He was in the doghouse in Spain for two years and will play with a new team next year. If he has a good season next year, he could try again to play in nba.

    Why not? When you see some big being in a roster I would pick Pietrus definetly over many players .
    Plus, there's Tony in the spurs and we need athletism and defender like him.
    I mean you can not say that White is a better player than Pietrus

    Even a nba scrub is a good player. End of the bench players, who have played in Europe, were very good players in Europe.
    Pietrus is playing well with France NT but hasn't done in Spain with Malaga. He spend 3 years in Malaga and has averaged something like 4 points, 3 rebounds. He must first have a good season in Spain if he wants to draw the interest of a nba team.

    I agree on Dirk, he didn't choked. France was just too strong for Germany.

    As I said the problem with Pietrus is that he is too short for a PF. Since he can't really play SF I don't see him in the NBA. Even in Europe I think it is a reason why he didn't play much in Malaga.
    To have a great season he should play in France where the game is different (most PF are 6'6-6'8 players) but I guess the price is too high for any French team.

    Spanoulis buzzer beater. He drive full court two crossovers, ankle breaker then pullup 26 footer for win. Spurs needs to bring him back.
