[chips93]

The second quarter is just about to start

france is up 22-18

[chips93]

beautiful drive, up-and-under and1 by diaw on ibaka

[chips93]

france doing a good job, crowding marc gasol in the high post, after fronting pau

keeping the gasols in check so far

[chips93]

navarro looks very frustrated, just missed a wide open three, now shooting 2/9

diaw is playing incredible. scoring, passing, defending, rebounding, hes doing everything



anybody else watching? really fun game so far

If France wins this it's game over for the rest of the world, USA got the tournament on lock...

Great Spanish connection moment to end the first quarter. Rodriguez gives a reverse oop to Rudy. Gif worthy.

France lead 37-34 at halftime

nobody for spain has really got going, fernandez had a nice little run, but they could be playing a lot better

spain's zone is troubling parker, and diaw is playing great

spain has gotta find a way to get the gasol's more space in the paint, more cross screening, something to get pau and marc in good position

France are not letting Gasols get off in them,

Spain should continue to play zone or else Tony Parker will shread their guards apart.

My god Spain is annoying, complaining after every single call. Just play the game you *******.

Oh and Pau Gasol is once again getting punked by undersized Power Forwards. Pietrus is 6'7 and Diaw is 6'9. In fact I don't think there are any players on the French team that are over 6'10. So it's pretty pathetic that Spain's Frontline is performing the way they are given their size advantage.

Anyways, even if France wins this game I don't think they have any chance against team USA (not that anyone did). They're decent on defense but just not enough offense.

Im hoping for another Argentina and/or Lithuania matchup with Team USA.

Lithuania just got knocked out by Russia.

Lithuania just got knocked out by Russia.

God Damn time difference.

But Im cool with that, I've been rooting for Russia and France outside of team USA.
