This must be the best game of Gobert's life.

He's always been a terrific shot blocker. He just can't do anything but dunk and can't handle other bigs' strength.

Big Shot Heurtel!

I'm biased towards France and have been unhappy with some of the calls, but there have been a number of calls that went France's way too.

Heurtel's elbow to Ricky for example.

No, we're going to lose by at least 30 if that game happens. We still have to reach the finals too.

Who is the player on the United States team most likely to be able to jump over Gobert? Rudy Gay? Davis? I feel like we neglected this area in putting the team together.

e: oh wait DeRozan is on the team somehow, probably him.

DeRozan is the only guy with the combination of height and hops that could probably do it. Maybe Rose as a dark horse.

Small chance of that...

The only correct answer is Andre Drummond dunking him into the Parisian catacombs.

Spain only scored 52 points, with 9 in the 4th quarter. Holy poo poo that's shameful. Has El Pais called for Pau's head yet?

I don't think Gobert is the type to take a charge like Weis, if there's a part 2 it will be over Lauvergne. Or one of the Serbians.

This is what happens when you go 2/22 from outside in FIBA. France even had twice as many turnovers as them.

Of course Europe would be able to make basketball into a low-scoring game where you blame the refs for everything and yet still come away entertained.

What does this mean for Spanish basketball longterm? Like obviously if Team USA lost this tournament barely anyone in the US would give a poo poo, but is this like Brazil losing the FIFA Cup or what?
