USA vs France, Sunday Aug. 15

[Rhal]

Do I watch this game or play in this huge poker tournament that they wont let me cash out... this is kind of a hard choice.

 

[THE HCP]

Box Score??!!

 

[Nikolokolus]

France is playing Canada at 4pm our time today. Is there any way to follow the game that anyone knows?

I don't think it's televised, but Nic is out sick anyway.

 

[THE HCP]

Out sick!!!??

 

[Nikolokolus]

Out sick!!!??

That's what the story said ...

 

[THE HCP]

Swine Flu! Out for the season!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Swine Flu! Out for the season!

No doubt.

I knew it! I knew all along that he was injury prone! Cho shouldn't have let him play in the Worlds!

CHOke-job!!

He can't see far enough over his menu at Sushi World to be an NBA GM. He should be fired, I hear Isaih Thomas is looking for a front office gig.

KP never would have let this happen ... KP also would have traded for Chris Paul. "A dark, dark day for this organization."

Maybe after we hire him we can trade our Injury prone center for the next coming of Ewing in Eddy Curry and sign him to a max extension so we don't lose him in free agency.

How can I watch this France vs. Canada game?

Kelly Olynyk, Rob Sacre and Zag recruit Kevin Pangos are playing for the Maple Bars.

 

[Nikolokolus]

It's not televised

 

[MickZagger]

Canada won. 69-58.

Kind of a surprise considering France had NBA'ers like Diaw, Ajinca, Mahinmi and Gelable logging minutes.

Only guy on Canada to step foot on a NBA court is Joel Anthony.

My best guess is that when you don't have guards or wings that can initiate offense for you, it's tough to win.

I can't believe we are rehashing the same OLD shit about how Nate is such a horrible coach and how badly he has fucked up Batum's career.

Year 1 = Batum is a very young and foreign rookie. Maybe he was stunted a bit. Maybe not. The team was overloaded with young players - thank you for the double edged sword KP - and once again, he was a rookie. Wait til next year.

Year 2 = Batum is hurt.

So far, that's all we got.

Complaints about Nate regarding this issue are.....ummm.... let's just call it premature.

Can we please just wait until all the facts are in before bitching about it?

 

[THE HCP]

Nic is playing tonight, anybody know how to find a boxscore? I'm busy workin'!

 

[MickZagger]

Nic's has 9 points 3/5 from the field, 3/3 from the line, 2 rebounds, 2 steals in 10 minutes of play so far. Canada is up at the half, 47-25.

Not sure. I got the stats from a Gonzaga message board.

Right here:

Game over. Nic ended up with 11 points on 3/9 shooting, 6 rebounds and 4 steals.

Sounds like he was trying to hard to bring his team back from a big deficet and took some bad shots.
