2011 EuroBasket championship game thread: Spain vs France

[Jan95]

Why wasn't the greek superteam playing in this game?

Because they are too good for them...

[DuMa]

I love it when people just watch one game and assume they know everything about a player.

Batum doesnt create for himself, seriously? They ran a ton of plays for him during the whole tournament, and he was very effective when asked to carry the offense.

so you think Batum can explode for 20pts or more in a FIBA game?

Go to his game by game stats, he had 3 games over 18 points, one at 20 points. He scored 19 against Russia in the semis, come on I know in basketball you're as good as your last game but that one wasn't that long ago :p

Batum is a phenomenal player, I think he's underused in the NBA and underrated but he has a huge potential.

Maybe Batum will be that 2nd option in the future. Playing in Europe next season will help, as he'll be the 1st option in his new team.
As for Parker being the MVP, well, you know they never give it to a player in the losing team.

Batum can shoot and dunk. That's about the extent of his offense.

Batum as a second option means no chance for France at the Olympics.

being behind wallace isn't helping his development.

That's why I think playing in France during the lockout will help him a lot.

Once again, proving you have zero knowledge of basketball.

Stop talking about yourself.

[Miller for 3]

Stop talking about yourself.

How bout them Razorbacks? McFadden looking really solid for the Raiders
