    • Fine game! Congrats to the French NT. A great pick for an underdog in this Eurobasket, especially if Noah can finally play

      Pietrus of the 1st half was the best player on the court

      Pietrus of the 4th quarter was a disaster. Diaw, Batum and at moments De Colo were the best of France. Batum extremely good in OT. In other circumstances, the upcoming Eurobasket could be a good chance for him. I liked the cold blood by Diot at the end. LMAO at Petro in the 3rd quarter. Oh lord, what a horrible player

      Mancinelli was awesome, but some moments he wants to be something between Jordan and Pippen. Belinelli was horrid in the 1st, decent in the 2nd half and in OT. Gigli was their hero, thanks to Mancinelli's passes. Bargs was nowhere, of course...

      • Great win for France, taking a win in Italy without Parker. Great way to build momentum for the rest of qualification.

        • nicely done by the frenchies, but they could have done it earlier..
          ofcourse it's not all over for the italians but it will be extremely hard now to do anything..
          so it makes me wonder.. what do you guys think, how big are Italy's chances that they will get a wild card for WC next year?
          if they do get it will be a most disastrous decision by FIBA ever..
          to give a wild card to team which wasn't even on the EC..
          it will be like spitting in face of teams who played on EC, got through the qualies and everything..
          only to lose their spot to someone who didn't even qualify for the EC...
          yes it's early, but I'm afraid that will happen..

            If they don't find a way to come back and qualify for Eurobasket 0.

            The criteria for the Wild Cards
            1. In order to be invited the team must have participated in the 2009 FIBA Zone Qualifying Championship.
            2. There can be a maximum of three teams from any one FIBA Zone.

            • Bosnia - Portugal

              Which score is the real one?


              That from tv broadcast or that from finaeurope.com live score?

              • Crap game by Portugal, I wonder if they'll reach 50. I was very optimistic about the hiring of Moncho López, but in the light of the recent games not anymore. Melnychuk is being missed.

                    Belinelly played by-himself. Yes, he scored many hard baskets, but it is not the way a PG should play.

                    Batum was awesome. He even played PG in some crucial minutes. Despite the air ball at the end of 4th, he was grate in money-time.
                    Diaw did what Diaw does.
                    I'm also satisfied with the first game (including preparation games) if Diot. He didn't made those virtuosic passes which made me fall in love with him in the U20 tournament, but after several mistakes in the first minutes on the floor he was OK, wasn't too dominant on the offense, just made simple but good things, and was good on defense (what the other PGs suffered).

                      In fact Marco is a SG... he has to be the go-to-guy of our team and has to play like that because we have no team offensive plays at all (thanks to our "beloved" coach Recalcati)...

                      Batum was awesome. He even played PG in some crucial minutes. Despite the air ball at the end of 4th, he was grate in money-time.
                      Yeah, Batum played great. I'm surprised how good he seems right now... i remember just a defensive player but he can do it all...

                      Regarding tonight's game... what a pity the Mancinelli injury... he was our best player tonight and french suffered him a lot... without him and Gallinari we have no other decent SFs (Soragna, please out of our NT soon!)...

                      Bargnani has to be involved much more in the game otherwise he's useless...

                      Nice hustle game by Gigli (as usual) and a good surprise the first international game by Cusin...

                      We also lack a credible PG at this point...

                      • I expected this comment. Bellineli is a combo, and most of the time the ball was in his hands today. So on the offense he was the PG.

                        The game seemed too aggressive for Bargnani (I say it although I love this player and watched Toronto this season first of all because of him). But I also blame the team and the coach that didn't help and even force him to be more involved.

                                In the end sometimes he passed the ball to his teammates and they obviously missed... so for us it's better he shoots. It's sad but it's a need for a team without plays like Italy... fu-c-k-ing Recalcati...
