    Just looked at the final score - wow, that escalated quickly. Maybe Spain should try to get the Final confined to just the first half.

    The refs let loose in the 2nd half. In the 1st half, they had held their thumbs in the dike.

    I noticed one Harden fake head jerk, which got him foul shots. I probably missed a couple more.

    He is in Spain. Not Slovenia. Ask him about Real Madrid or Barcelona. That's like expecting tourists to NY to know about say the Empire state building, not Crater Lake.

    It is relevant? Their basketball players are, their coach, their plays, but Slovenia the country? No.

    Assuming that things that are relevant to you and not others is absurd and elitist, as he perfectly demonstrated to her, as he is, after all, from Alabama. Clearly, since she is interviewing a basketball player before or after a game she should know about his birthplace...

    France up by 7 vs Spain in the second quarter. Spain can't hit threes.

    Batum always guards Rudy, but I can't tell how often vis-versa. Spain is hurt by Sergio getting hurt. Let's see whether he returns. I don't think so. He was hurt in 3 places.

    I love everything about diaws game, including his attitude. No one is ever going to pry him from the spurs but I would love if we could!

    US gotta be rooting hard for France.

    Seriously torn: don't want Nic to lose, but Spain is the only team with a chance against the US...

    I bet Nic is one of those players that really let's you know when you've done something wrong. These younger guys probably get an earful from them at practice. Had some words for Gobert after that dumb foul.

    Pau Gasol leading Spain in blocks easily over Ibaka. He's got the spring back.

    Rudy drawing the offensive foul from Nic on one end, then getting the oop from Sergio on the other to get Spain the lead. A very Blazer-centric sequence.
