The game starts in 10 minutes.
Argentina is getting murdered and I don't think Ginobili has so much as touched the ball yet.

Regarding Spurs player:
- Parker was very good in the first half. In the second half, Brazil was more physical and he missed some shots but at least he hit his FTs.
- De Colo was very quiet in the first half but he was just great in the second half. He win the game by himself in a Ginobili-like fashion. Defensively, he suffered but wasn't that bad against Barbosa.
- Diaw was as always: solid but he passed soem shots he should have taken.
- Splitter barely played in the first half because of foul troubles. He was the best Brazilian player in the clutch where he made some great offensive moves. His Ft shooting looked very good.
France 78 - Brazil 74.

I just caught a couple minutes of the fourth quarter but Nando played a big part in France coming back for the win. He scored 11 points in the last quarter and made some nice passes.
Edit: Ah, Bruno beat me to it..
1st time I seen De Colo play and I liked. He shoot the ball really well.
Tiago did a good job in the 4th. Brazil has a chance to win a medal if someone can step up in the 4th quarter. So far I don't see that player

Manu and Nando are going to have fun with behind the back passes!!!
Splitter and his passes instead of finishing the sh*t....

Nando with the ginobilish fourth quarter
7 mn to go, 2 assists for Pietrus including the one in the back, an acrobatic shoots, a 3 pointer to give France the advantage and another JS. He finished the last 7 mn with 7 pts, 1 reb, 2 assist and one interception.
Definitely some good stuff. He is going to be key for FNT during the tournament.
Brazil beat Australia today, 87-71
Splitter: 7/10 FG, 3-3 FT, 2 boards (Nene and Varejao both had 10+ boards) 17 pts
Patty Mills: 14 pts

From what I've read on a French newspaper, Spurs have send members of their staff to Strasbourg to watch the friendly tournament. There is also Brett Brown who coaches Australia. It's not a surprising move given that there are 5 Spurs at this tournament with Mills, Splitter, Parker, De Colo and Diaw.
France-Australia starting right now.

Nando has been the best French player during all these friendly games. Aside of a bad game against Spain, he has been good. So far, Spurs look smart to ahve signed him to that contract.
In addition of De Colo good summer, Joseph has had a great SL and, from what I've seen, Mills has been fine with Australia. Spurs should more and more consider trading Neal.
Bruno, do you think they can get a first rounder for Neal?
I don't.
IMO, Neal trade value is a good second round pick.
