    He's blaming the team.

    It's funny how much better the French team looked against the US without Parker than it did with him against Spain. Maybe they'll survive with his retirement. They could start De Colo and Fournier at guard and give Batum the point forward job of his dreams!

    I think De Colo is now on a higher level than Parker and their play is not very compatible so I think Parker's retirement will clear the path for him and the whole team will work better. The fact they played better without Parker is not a coincidence in my opinion.

    Ok @BonesJones very big deal I didn't quote your post. As if you don't get an alert for a new post on the thread anyway. Maybe i'll get banned or we can keep talking about it for a week.

    Let's talk about something important now which is Gasol's injury. They say he might not play, but I guess there is 0 chance. It might be his last ever NT game.

    FYI, he's not insulting you, he just saw an opportunity to make one of the forum's "classic jokes." Sometimes some of us can't resist, even if it's not appropriate. Shrug.

    I'm pretty sure he doesn't get an alert for every new post.. I know I don't. Why not just quote the post you're responding to? It's not hard at all.

    Well I do get an alert for a new post on a thread i have replied (watching) so I thought it applies to everyone. Probably you switched it off.

    Of course it's not hard and i can do it from now on, but there are better ways to say it. It's a new forum for me and i ll learn these things, but not all forums work this way so i couldn't already know.

    It's fun bullying these rooks around. Some call out hazing, I just call it passing along the bullshit HCP gave to me.

    I'm not watching the game but ESPN says US and Spain combined for 5 techs in the first half. Which team is Sheed on?

    Jordan is dominating this game since returning in the 3rd quarter.

    Edit: and so Spain (smartly) starts getting him out on the perimeter defensively where's he's uncomfortable.

    Wow--Cousins just fouled out before the end of the 3rd. I wonder if they'll spend any minutes playing without a center.
