France beat Luthuania 76-70 in a close game where defense was the moddo. Good performance from Rudy who have a good fight with Valenciunas. French should be good at this WC, good roster, good vets and most important a really good defense. But I stll think they may be short of offense against USA or Canada, let's see.

No one had anything to say about the USA v Slovenia game? I'm just starting to watch it. Bummer Luka is being held out. I assume Walker won't be playing much again.

Well, a Lukaless Slovenia is about half as interesting of how interesting Puerto Rico is.

Walker had a sweet spin move in the open court… and that’s about it

Any stats for him? How many minutes?

He played only 3 minutes. I think everyone else was in double digits. He must have backed over Kerr’s dog on the way to the arena.

Steve Kerr just doesn’t have much need for a traditional big in his system. Kessler is more of an insurance policy if he needs one. Hopefully it motivates Walker to prove that he’s better than the guys getting run over him though.

Sure, but when you are up by 40 you might play Kessler a bit more

Kessler was not his usual smiling self after the game. Either the lack of playing time is getting to him, or the heat of the arena did (I heard it was brutally hot in there).

 

[FalseFlagg K]

Just wait till the Euro bigs start relentlessly hammering the rim.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Walter will be useful against big. JJJ is foul trouble specialist and Banchero too small.
