Wow. I love how the Spanish act so cool when down by nearly double digits in the end of the game. Not the first time they've done it.

Not sure why Rudy Fernandez didnt go for an easy bucket in that fast break at 7:25. Was he too sure eventually they will get the lead so they just need to kill some time or too scared from Batum for a possible chase down block knowing that he is very capable of doing that. Probably second one.
BTW it would be more fun to watch France games if one of Fournier or Westermann had been made the squad. Dont know why especially Fournier didnt.. weird choice. Looks like once again theyre willing to play Tony ball as much as possible.

I'm not sure that Tony will even participate as he is scheduled to undergo an MRI today after a knee injury from last night's game.

See yourself. But I could imagine San Antonio pull him out regardless. That Eurobasket has nor importance for France's Olympic qualification, neither is it qualifier for the World Championships next summer. This might be the last productive Tim Duncan year(none can really predict when his body can't take more beating) so the Spurs won't be willing to risk anything.
Good news for both Greece and basketball fans. There are too many absences in this championship.
Final prep game for Turkey against Poland about to start in 15 mins.

The schedule of the first day of the tournament.
The times are local (GMT+2), I don't know what would be the US times. (I'm not good with time zones.)
Teodosic out for Serbia, he couldn't recovered in time. Gigli out for Italy and Turkey's SG Ömer Onan got injured yesterday in practice he is out of the tournament as well.
My F4 bets are Spain, Greece, France. The 4th team is a tough guess.
Lithuania looks like having the best chance but they suffer from the same problem Turkey have, the lack of a decent PG rotation. Serbia without Teo is still a strong candidate. Maybe Slovenia can make a push with the advantage of being host. Turkey also have chance with the very solid front court.
