    Game has gotten good in the fourth-- Nic hasn't done shit.

    France ball 4.8 secs left. Tie game.

    Edit: lucky, lucky, win.

    Nic played 35 mins yesterday and 34 today. Smh too much, man

    1-5 from 3, maybe the shots are too close?

    Battle of ex-Blazer vs. never-was with Pooh Jeter and Petteri. Petteri wins! Poor Ukraine. They need some good news right now.

    Batum not looking good for France. A player who looks better when surrounded by better players?

    Mind you, France had no business winning. Serbia had a better team. Boris Diaw is the real leader of France right now.

    Trivia: An ex-Blazer was involved in the France-Serbia game. Who?

    I can deduce this with pure logic.

    Obviously by France-Serbia game, you mean any past French-related game. It is possible that Cameroon once played in the international tournament. Before that country became independent in 1961, part of it was French Cameroon, a colony on Nigeria's border which in 1961 merged with British Cameroon.

    Putting these facts together, it becomes clear that the former Blazer is Boom Boom, since he was born after 1961 in Cameroon, possibly the formerly French part.

    Batum is an elite role player, a "jack of all trades" and good facilitator/glue guy. That's what he is. He isn't a max franchise player and isn't expected to be one. By most people, that is, thank goodness.

    Okay, okay, stop clamoring! The coach of Serbia is ex-Blazer Sasha Djordjevic.
