I watched the Argentina vs. France game on FSN today, I don't know if it was a repeat or wether or not it was live but I found the game very boring. A lot of standing around, a lot of bad defense, a lot of lazy basketball. I actually ended up turning the game because I was simply bored with it. Anyone else agree or disagree?
I just think you thought it was boring because your more custom to the U.S style and a lot of people in the united states that are not customed to international ball probaly think its boring
You must be one of those people that hates the spurs style of Basketball also, FIBA is Basketball of course it is not boring. The only way I can think that anyone wouldnt like it is if they didnt really like watching basketball.

I agree. Watching European basketball is not much fun. I only watch FIBA basketball if Team U.S.A. is on the court. Euro players don't bring much flare or excitement to the table.

Something I've learned, the USA wants to look good first,win second. International teams want to win first, look good doing it second.
I enjoy the games but the crowd not getting into games is a big part of the basketball game. I think teams with the best records should get home court and have 3 days off between games. So when there are 16 teams left let there be a home court.
