    The only player who looked good for France was Seraphim. Who's he with again? The Wizards?

    France would have had 3 days rest after this game. No reason for them to tank this game. Dumb decision by France.

    Rudy the best player in the game. Dominating. Blowout, 17 up on France.

    Rudy gets his 3rd 3 pointer, hasn't missed one.

    They say 11 in this quarter, 13 in the game. But the quarter is young.

    err. 13 in the quarter, 15 in the game. But he's also doing more than just scoring. He's the sole reason why this game is a blowout.

    They're speculating that France is throwing this game to play Greece, but say that Greece is an unpredictable wild card.

    Look at the shoes - you can't mistake Claver's shoes.

    You beat me--I got back on to say, I see someone with yellow shoes, so Claver must be in.

    Oh shit, VC on fire. France looks even more lethargic in this quarter than they did earlier. I didn't think that was possible.

    96-69. As they walk off, Rudy smiles a token passing word to Batum, who holds him back and wants to talk a little, probably about how hot Rudy was.

    The coach threw the game. This is how they do it in European playoffs. France tried this same fix a year ago at this point and it wound up not working for them in the final standings.

    Next today, Germany vs. Lithuania.

    France will probably play Greece now instead of Slovenia in the knockout round.

    Screwed up again by tanking

    Although I did make a highlight video for Przybilla once and he had me use the doors........ Even worse, James Jones had me use Maroon GOD DAMN 5!
