Nic in France

[Fez Hammersticks]

France played vs GB yesterday. Nic had some nice highlights. Freeland is #11, the guy destroying Turiaf a few times.

He's playing AUS today. Unfortunately, I can't find any links to the game.

Freeland looked great; He was very active and bigger than I thought -- he looked the same size as Noah and noticeably bigger than Turiaf.

Check out 1:24 - Freeland just throws Noah aside on a boxout.

Nice to see Batum throwing down nasty dunks. Why won't he do that consistently? If he did, he could make a leap like Tracy McGrady did when he left Toronto.

Found this on BEDGE.

Don't hurt the rim, Nic!

Turiaf's reaction is as good as the dunk.

Whoa. Nic attempted 14 free throws. Hit only 9 of them, but still, that's crazy.

 

[THE HCP]

Scottie Pippen style!!!!!

 

[MickZagger]

Haha, Turiaf is a goof.

Seriously, Freeland looked impressive. He doesnt look like a stiff at all.

Athletically, and at his size, he looks like he could be a pest like Noah.

God I hope his time in France is going to help him develop and NOT have his KNEE explode!

If it does we're now going to blame you.

Bitch! always end a statement like that with *knock on wood*!

 

[illmatic99]

Turiaf broke his hand in today's game vs AUS. Huge blow to FRA.

 

[THE HCP]

SEEEEE!!!!

If anyone wants to watch the game (for Claver's shoes, if nothing else), here's the first half:

And here's the second:

At least 15 NBA players in that game. Yes, it's easy to follow Claver. He's the only one wearing bright yellow shoes.

GOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

 

[THE HCP]

If you watch in slow motion, you can see Mr. Batum very politely say, "Excuse me while I put my balls on your chin."

TBH, he does look more jacked.

 

[jlprk]

Freeland beats China

France vs. Serbia on now: http://www.lshunter.tv/index.php?op...nnel=0&tmpl=component&layout=popup&Itemid=327

 

[illmatic99]

Nic was on fire in the first quarter, and TP is carrying them now.

 

[illmatic99]

heh. What a collapse by France's 2nd and 3rd teams. Gave up a ~20 pt lead in 7 mins before TP hit two floaters, and Nic hit a cold-blooded J and got a dunk in the fast break. 80-77 FRA now after Nic's dunk with 4 secs left.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Australia beats Great Britain by one point.

Freeland with another solid outing -- 22 pts (7-11 fg) 5 rebs
