this man Wemby...

Wemby has gotta stop launching all these 3s. 3-13 is unacceptable from a guy with his size.

Yabusele is the Juan Carlos Navarro of Julius Randle

Wemby is killing me jacking all these 3s

Wemby has to put his ass on the paint and stop with these three pointers,
Good game so far besides the expected phantom calls or the non-calls for France

What happened to Wemby's 3pt shooting? lol

god it feels so nice watching this game when coaches have less timeouts. everytime I think there's gonna be a break or timeout, the game just continues!

I can sense your fear

Not actually, i want a 2-0 here as Under looks safe (no overtime and am good), so it's a matter of tie this first game or if i am super-up for this tournament. LOL.

Also: i hope you bet Serbia spread.

france playing bullyball again

durden_tyler · Post #191 » by **durden_tyler** » Thu Aug 8, 2024 4:51 pm

Germans totally being tested here. Let's see if they are indeed the "world champions". LOL

I love Yabusele and Lessort - good old fashioned bully ball PFs.

What do you expect him do to in the paint in a FIBA game?

Anyway, props to Collet. He made some big changes to the rotations that have France looking like a different team. That's why they obliterated Canada early on. We'll see if Germany can stay poised.

Man, Fournier finally got his swagger back

Wemby lucky that he didn't hurt his ankle there

bananazn · Post #200 » by **bananazn** » Thu Aug 8, 2024 4:53 pm

Biggest changes have been sitting gobert and letting Cordinier playing onball instead of 3 and D

Who wins the semifinal games on Thursday?
