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.
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.
Just a reminder, this is how France HAS been playing: [video=youtube;UoBQYRWNt5c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UoBQYRWNt5c#![/video]
They're speculating that France is throwing this game to play Greece, but say that Greece is an unpredictable wild card.
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
2 things...... I absolutely love every aspect if Nic's game....... and that had to of been the WEIRDEST track of music basketball highlights have ever been cut to in the history of non-linear editing!
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!
