2011 EuroBasket championship game thread: Spain vs France

[chains5000]

Ibaka with 5 blocks in one quarter.

France is playing about as well offensively I've seen them yet they're still down by 9.

60% on three pointers so far for them

[DMV2]

Was the France-Russia game good? the score was close, 79-71.

Team Russia won the Bronze over Macedonia in the consolation game.

[Clutch]

Ibaka has been great defensively. 5 blocks in 8 minutes

Navarro has 13,Parker 14.

I expect more from Gasol brothers in the 2nd half.
So far both of them have 8 points and 3 rebounds.

France is gettin back in it!

EDIT: **** navarro... damn man... this dude... seems like he would average 50 PPG in the NBA or something...

[HEAT111]

[pauk]

Gasol hitting 3's... jordan fadeaways... step backs...

[Grinder]

I didn't know Calderon could still dunk.

[Sakkreth]

[Clutch]

Congratulations to Spain.

SPAIN:
Navarro 27/1/5 6-14
P.Gasol 17/10/4 6-12
Calderon 17/4/2 8-12

FRANCE:
Parker 26/5/5 9-20
Diaw 12/4/7 5-8
Noah 11/8/2 5-8

[DonD13]

I agree,

but

fuck it, I have:

i) France to win
ii) France to first score 20
iii) Batum more than 1,5 three pointers
iv) Tony Parker more than 20,5 points
v) Joakim Noah more than 8,5 rebounds

which means:

GO FRANCE

i) fail
ii)fail
iii) good
iv) good
v) fail

I lost just a little bit tho

well deserved Spain!

[chains5000]

Spain has no one who can check Tony Parker, France has a ton of guys able to shut down Navarro, for example Batum who will lock him up easily if given the assignment to, but Gasol and Gasol are too good for all of France's shit bigmen.

27 points
