Why is China even in the FIBA Tournament? They fail at basketball. Too slow. Too weak.

I love how the FRA coach pronounces "pick and roll":

"PEE CAN ROAL"

RipCityLives · Post #1392 » by **RipCityLives** » Thu Sep 2, 2010 7:58 pm

No brainer for me. France and NZ are out in the first round. Turkey vs Spain and USA vs Brazil semifinals. Spain vs USA finals.

Rinaldi · Post #1400 » by **Rinaldi** » Thu Sep 2, 2010 8:00 pm

france tried to get Turkey on purpose, and they did. I guess they forgot the two games from 2 years ago where they lost by +30 with Parker running their show.
