Do you have a non-ESPN3 link in English? Thanks. Speaking of ESPN, I just read this article.

Zaza Pachulia (of the NBA team in Georgia) was injured, so his team Georgia (the country) was upset by Finland 87-73 Saturday, with Petteri Koponen scoring 12 points. If they beat Slovenia Monday, Koponen's team makes it into the Elite Eight.

Later in the article, it says that in a duel of centers, Kostas Koufos of Russia vs. Timofey Mozgov of Greece (both on the Denver Nuggets), Russia won 83-67 with Sergey Monya icing the game with two 3-pointers at the end. The game was meaningless because both teams have already made the Elite Eight.
 
France is benching Parker and Noah for the game. WTF. They're trying to do some sneaky shit again, after it bit them in the ass last year.
 
ZoneIn is in English! It's on the LSHunter list.
 
Well this sucks. France resting many of their players including Nic. Spain not giving a shit.

And even with all that, Claver gets zero PT. You've got to wonder why he's even in the squad. Spain might as well have brought along Garbajosa for veteran support.

Rudy taking over.

Agreed. But the only reason he blew by Batum just then was because Marc Gasol grabbed Nic's arm.

Still, this is Rudy's element and he's taking advantage. So far he's looked WAY better than Batum.
 
THREE TIMES IN A ROW France trying fancy interior passing instead of just laying it in. Maddening.

And another three by Rudy. He must be in double figures in the quarter by himself.
 
The only player who looked good for France was Seraphim. Who's he with again? The Wizards?
 
France would have had 3 days rest after this game. No reason for them to tank this game. Dumb decision by France.
 
Rudy the best player in the game. Dominating. Blowout, 17 up on France.

Rudy gets his 3rd 3 pointer, hasn't missed one.
 
They say 11 in this quarter, 13 in the game. But the quarter is young.
 
err. 13 in the quarter, 15 in the game. But he's also doing more than just scoring. He's the sole reason why this game is a blowout.
 
Alright! Claver is in, matched up vs Nic now.

lol, n/m That was Reyes

Just a reminder, this is how France HAS been playing:

They're speculating that France is throwing this game to play Greece, but say that Greece is an unpredictable wild card.
 
You beat me--I got back on to say, I see someone with yellow shoes, so Claver must be in.
 
Oh shit, VC on fire. France looks even more lethargic in this quarter than they did earlier. I didn't think that was possible.
 
96-69. As they walk off, Rudy smiles a token passing word to Batum, who holds him back and wants to talk a little, probably about how hot Rudy was.

The coach threw the game. This is how they do it in European playoffs. France tried this same fix a year ago at this point and it wound up not working for them in the final standings.

Next today, Germany vs. Lithuania.
 
France will probably play Greece now instead of Slovenia in the knockout round.

Screwed up again by tanking
 
What happened last year? Why did they tank again?
 
2 things...... I absolutely love every aspect if Nic's game....... and that had to of been the WEIRDEST track of music basketball highlights have ever been cut to in the history of non-linear editing!
 
Although I did make a highlight video for Przybilla once and he had me use the doors........ Even worse, James Jones had me use Maroon GOD DAMN 5!
