    France game starting now. They lost to Canada twice in the friendlies, but FRA is rolling now in the tournament.

    Spain playing at 11.

    All on NBA tv/ ESPN3/ atdhe.net

    Nic starting at SF this game. Gelabale is starting at SG instead. I expect him to perform better.

    He should have a block and another steal in there too. Nice dunk by him already, hoping he keeps the scoring up because the French seem a little stagnant on the offensive end.

    De Colo is annoying. He thinks he's way better than he actually is. Chucking up some stupid shots.

    Colo hit his first three and seems to think he can now pass up open teammates for bad three attempts.

    The announcer actually used the word "apoplectic" in a basketball game.

    Okay. Liking Bokolo ability to penetrate and get contact. De Colo just looks confused half the time.

    Oooh! Clutch drive and score by Nic to tie it at 52. Don't tell me he can't create for himself. Man can step up when his team needs him.

    Nic showing a much better first step. I love that he's calling for the ball on every possession.

    France, the first team from group D to advance. Unbelievable.

    Final line: 24pts (8/14 FG, 3/7 3pt), 7rebs, 3 stls, 2 to in about 35 mins.

    Batum is the greatest of all time. I can't wait to see him play against Doornekamp and Levon Kendall next year in the NBA. Those guys are awesome.


    In all seriousness, I'm glad he had a good game, but try to keep it in perspective. Batum is my favorite player, by far, but some on here over value him too much

    Let's get to what will help him next year though. How did his stand in the corner and take 3's as the shot clock runs down shot look?
