    Given that France has to play today, I'm sure they were resting Batum as much as possible.

    Nobody plays today. France plays tomorrow.

    I'm going to keep waiting and eventually I'll be right.

    Players who should be signed by NBA teams on the strength of their performance in the WC:

    Miroslav Raduljica (can't understand why the Clips waived him)
    Andray Blatche (if only he weren't such a flake)
    Hamad Haddadi (slow as molasses but vacuums up the rebounds)
    Petteri!!! (if he had a slightly more reliable jump shot, or Rudy's hops, he'd be here already)

    Of course there's always:
    "Marcelinho" Huertas
    Milos Teodosic
    Giannis Bourousis

    But those guys seem content to earn big bucks playing for the Euroleague giants.
    (Talking of whom: I would bet big bucks that Real Madrid would beat the 76ers handily in a 7 game series. It wouldn't be close. I'm not prepared to say that they could be a playoff team in the East, but it wouldn't amaze me.)

    17-18 and the half is almost over. Sheesh!

    On the plus side, half the (small) stadium is empty, so hardly anybody is feeling cheated.

    France leads 23-22... at HALF TIME. Batum is pretty much invisible on offense, but he's working hard on defense.

    The Croats should be better than this - they've got some talented players.

    Batum's invisible in Europe and the NBA. There must be somewhere where he's worth $12M per year.

    France up 40-30.

    Batum killing Croatia in the third with his D-leading-to-O.

    Everything's invisible when you're blind.

    Maybe in Casablanca. Bogie fouled Batum who was bringing it downcourt. Bogdanovich has weight and looks ready for the NBA right now.

    Who owns Bogie's rights? He plays defense and shoots the long ball. Too late for us to get him?

    Flurry of points by Croatia - Bogdanovic is a player. Rookie for the Nets next year.
