I don't have a vacuum-cleaner :_-( And my broom hasn't been very talkative later..(has to do with some stupid misunderstanding between me,my broom,and a naughtly begonia.I took the begonia's side. ).
Maybe that's why I'm not up to date with my inside info!!
I heard ozi gets his analytical comments by efes beer,maybe I must try this better."The worst part is wondering how you’ll find the strength tomorrow to go on doing what you did today and have been doing for much too long,where you’ll find the strength for all that stupid running around,those attempts to escape from crushing necessity,which always founder and serve only to convince you one more time that destiny is implacable,that every night will find you down and out,crushed by the dread of more and more sordid and insecure tomorrows.~Céline

No doubt that Macedonia tanked their games against France and Greece. France tried to tank their game against Greece but failed. Greece tanked their games against Russia and France.
Turkey clearly tanked their last two games after losing in the quarters to Greece. Anyone that paid attention could easily point out all of those games.

I mean, come onnnnn. If GB team had better SG they could have beaten Spain in the last qualification game and Spain would be out. Why on earth would a serious medal contender risk it??? Gasol was mediocre in the beggining and so was Spain. When he uped his game, so did Spain. Simple.
As for Greece vs France both teams played very loosely to preserve their energy for the 1/4 final. At the very end both teams tried to win... Greece with a 3 and then De Colo managed a very difficult shot under a lot of pressure from Zisis. And just before that shot Bourousis nearly stole the ball.

Spain was without Fernandez (who ended up making the allstar team) for the first game. This was also the first game back for Gasol who missed all of the warmup games before Eurobasket. He didn't have any time to get settled and get coordinated in real matches.
Looking back, I really think it was a lack of team chemistry which hurt them early on. However, they got adjusted as a team and played better along the way.

In Spain is named the "Angolazo" and is remembered as the most embarrasing lost of the Spanish NT in all its history.
By the other way, that Angola was fisically hard.

He is guarded by Zisis only but still he scores a fade away shot over the arms of Zisis who defended well not just looking at him
Also Bourousis a few seconds before was trying to steal the ball. That doesnt seem like a team trying to lose if you ask me.
