I've got to go with France, just because, as you say, they beat Spain with Marc AND Pau last year, but both teams have had their shaky moments. If there's a secret weapon for Spain it would be Mirotic, though - he's definitely been their second best player. Basically it's all on Tony Parker, though.
A great game, 4 ex-Blazers, Batum had a huge 3-pointer to tie the game in regulation, then was fouled on a 3 by Claver down 3 with a few seconds left in OT, missed the first, missed the 2nd, missed the 3rd on purpose and France lost.
Man! I thought France were running away with it, so I went out. What a game to miss! Happy for Spain - they have 3 ex-Blazers to France's 1. San Antonio have to be worried at how bad Parker looks.
LMA chose an old and darn near senior citizen team over an up and coming Blazers team...Can we say it?... WHAT A FOOL!
I don't think it matters what happens in the final (Serbia over Spain - book it) - Pau is this year's MVP, easy. He got 40 points in this game. Meanwhile Tony Parker went 4/17 for 10 points...
Nico blowing those last 3 free throws is just baffling...seems like France sort of mailed it in in that loss.
