Did I say something about home court advantage? :D Huertas did a great job running the offense and Gasol and Mirotic really struggled for Spain. Now Nigeria threatening to beat Lithuania. Group B would be thrown into complete craziness if they hold on.

Brazil trying to put Spain down to 0-2. Neto has played pretty well while in the game, but Huertas has been very good.

Definitely not to impressive beating China. Play Serbia next. Will give a better idea if they are playing for real. For god sakes at least have a Carlton Draught then.

Unless Boomers have a massive let down against China and Venezuela they should finish pool play at 4-1. Group B is anybody's guess right now. 5 teams could still finish first. Have a Coopers Extra Stout tonight since no Fosters.

Gobert with 10pts 8r 5bl. Good game for him. Badly needed win for France, but probably worst team in the tournament. Delly with huge game today. See how he does against US on Wednesday.

Thought I was dissin the Boomers in my rankings. 2-0. US next. First real game for US since the team formed. First exhibition against Argentina would be the closest to a real game.

Big 3 by Ingles. Dagger.

Croatia with the big upset. Saric with the enormous block of Gasol. Have no clue why Spanish coach stuck with Fernandez. He was pretty awful. Abrines should have been given a chance. OKC thinks he is pretty good.

Croatia threatening to defeat Spain. Not sure why their coach is not playing Abrines.

That is why I put them higher in my rankings than their talent suggests.

By the way this is what someone said about Gobert after the Aussie game on the intl board i am on. "As I wrote before many times, Rudy Gobert is the most overrated player in whole world. He's useless with no skills."

Oh yeah, I would say after French-Aussie game had them to low. Still like Serbia as long as Teodosic is fine. Brazil in another country I would have had lower, but with homecourt I put them 2-3 spots higher than i would have otherwise. Looks like French teams struggles in friendlies was no...

Australia vs France now. France slow start but pickin up. Diaw has been pretty good so far. Parker startin to get hot. Ingles and Gobert just ok sa far. Game on NBC Sports.

Ok, here is my ranking of the teams: 1. US ok did not have to think to much about this one. However, we played probably the 3 worst teams in the exhibition games so comp will get tougher. 2. Spain lot of the players getting up there in age, but lots of NBA talent here. 3. France...

Are you doubting the crazy abilities of the Chinese national team? Poor Aussies have to stay in the Olympic village while Team USA is on a luxury cruise ship. You would think Bogut could pony up and pay for them to stay in a 5 star hotel or something.

France loses again. Gobert with a solid performance though. Parker did not play again. Hopefully for France's sake they just dont care about these friendlies and saving themselves for the games that count.

France vs Argentina in about 30 minutes. Live stats below. If I get a "good" link i will pass it along. Otherwise Google should produce some streams for it. https://www.fibalivestats.com/u/SLF/308580/

Think China has a great chance of finishing last. Australia and New Zealand will join the Asian field soon so we may stop seeing them in so many tournaments. Philipinos are really big on basketball as well. If they could ever get Clarkson (half Philipino) to play they would have a much better...

Inlges back for the Boomers. Very nice game for him. Bogut back as well. Granted against China who may be worst team in the Olympics. https://www.fibalivestats.com/u/CBB/305672/index_en_AU.html#ASFSK Neto and Brazil beat Lithuania today, but have not seen a boxscore. Perhaps one of our...

Well France is in and obviously Gobert will be a big part of the team. They have one more friendly and then the Olympics. Olympics are max 8 games and during round robin they get one day off between games. I think this will only help Gobert be in shape for training camp.
