You rock Yuyuza1. Thanks for the links.

 

No prob, zed.

Is this commentary in Serbian?

 

I logged in just in time to see Turiaf put up a baseline shot that was very high and Batum came from the back side and grabbed the overshot and put back a two handed slam in one motion. Awesome!

 

ha. the mandatory timeout shots of Eva.

It's universal.

 

France is getting its ass whooped by a garbage team. Pathetic performance.

Update: France leading by only 2 (50-48) at the end of three quarters.

Nic has 10pts, 5rebs, 1ast, 3to on 4/5FG in 22 minutes of action. Turiaf is leading the team with 15p/11r, but his FT shooting is killing the team (3/7). Parker has been largely nonexistent.

And Parker comes through in the clutch with 9 straight points. France up 3 with the ball, 18 seconds left.

Nic has 12 pts/8rebounds.

 

Spain game has begun on espn360, with English commentary.

 

Navarro looked bad the whole game. And Serbia was playing some great aggressive defense.

 

I think Nic is gaining an amazing amount of experience this summer. Man, the battle for the starting 3 spot in training camp is gonna be awesome.

 

Do the Euros get a day off in the summer? They'll be exhausted by the end of the summer.

 

I think Batum is the front-runner at this point. Webster has a lot to prove.

 

man i read this at 10:15pm and i was fucking psyched to get ready to watch it... then i read down a little and realize it was 1015am

 

No worries. There is another France game today at the same time vs. Latvia @ http://www.justin.tv/keeperlive4

 

That was quite possibly the worst first half of any basketball game I have ever watched. I swear, my mediocre intramural team is better than these two squads.

Score @ halftime is 21-16 Latvia. France has shot 7/30 from the field. Latvia, 7/27. Nic hasn't done anything. Ali Traore has scored pretty much all of France's points.

 

Batum really came alive towards the end. Nice block & a lot of hustle type rebounds that were important for France to keep possession to run down the clock. It's weird how he could be so uninvolved in the 1st half then become such a factor at the end.

 

Rudy is playing! Check 360.

Edit: And Freeland! Damn, dude's a beast, and he can hit threes!
