It doesn't matter, the winner will have to face the group A winner and I don't see either of these teams (or Finland) beating Portugal (that flat out destroyed Angola in a preparation game yesterday).

Vincent Collet with the help of Larry Brown tried to convince the bulls staff to let Noah play in the french national team. The french team realy needed him, but the bulls staff is so disrespectful...

Playing in the us national team is never an issue when you are Lebron James or Kobe Bryant. If Noah had chosen to play for team usa it would never have happened...

Stern and FIBA really need to found an agreement. It was already the case with Garbajosa, last year with many french players, and this year again... it can't be worst.

If NBA want to have a little more respect in Europe, it have to be standardized. It's unacceptable.

Yes we do. Noah is our best free throw shooter (and i'm not joking).

Very poor shooting game as usual for the french national team, in a curious and tight win against Hungary (70-69). Nando De Colo won the game in the last possession, all by himself.

Next game: wendsday against Italy.

I read France would be in panic mode (especially considering the Parker injury and the game against Hungary)... is it true?

If Noah and Tony don't come back, maybe we have a chance... :wink:

It's not a problem with who's in and who's out, how many NBA players you've got on your team... but team chemistry and being effective with the NT.

1/17 at 3s. 50% at FT. Yes Italy could win... easely. You need to hack-a-frog and that's the end for our hopes.

Jeanneau, Diot and Jackson will join the team:
AFP - 31.07.2009, 15h14

PARIS, 31 juil 2009 (AFP) - Aymeric Jeanneau, Antoine Diot et Edwin Jackson ont été appelés vendredi en équipe de France de basket en raison du départ de Tony Parker aux Etats-Unis et des incertitudes liées aux blessures de Mamoutou Diarra et de Joseph Gomis, en vue des repêchages à l'Euro-2009.

Diot, meneur de jeu du Mans, et Jackson, nouvel arrière de Rouen, ont fait partie de l'équipe de France des moins de 20 ans qui a décroché l'argent à l'Euro de leur catégorie d'âge le week-end dernier. Ils ont rejoint le groupe dès vendredi.

Jeanneau, meneur de jeu de l'Asvel, arrivera de son côté samedi. Il avait notamment été meneur titulaire des Bleus au Mondial-2006 en l'absence de Parker.

Ces trois joueurs ont été rappelés en renfort pour pallier l'absence, à durée indéterminée, de Parker, et compenser éventuellement les pépins physiques de Diarra (épaule) et Gomis (tendon d'Achille), deux joueurs qui devaient passer des tests médicaux ce vendredi.

La France doit disputer son premier match des repêchages à l'Euro-2009 mercredi en Sardaigne face à l'Italie.

AFP.

Diot and Jackson are in shape. They've got confidence (silver medal in european -20 championship). The first one is a PG (he can take the place of Bokolo) and second is a scorer at 2, a real shooter. 1/17 at 3s yesterday... they need it!

They're good... especially Jackson who has great offensive talent. But i doubt a couple of 89s born player not named Gallinari can make so much difference for a team like France...

I am really impressed with Jackson and i believe that if can get hot for spot minutes will be great help for the France.

Tony Parker has been ruled out for Additional Qualifying Round for Eurobasket. Big blow for France.

He'll miss just the first game against Italy or all the Additional Round games?!?

Big help for us but France is still very dangerous...

There's speculation that Parker may miss Qualifying games, though it hasn't been officially reported. Spurs are said to be "very concerned" about Parker's ankle since he injured before in 2006 WC.

Euro-2009/repêchages - Collet: Parker jouera face à la Finlande samedi
AFP - 03.08.2009, 20h55

CAGLIARI (Italie), 3 août 2009 (AFP) - Le sélectionneur de l'équipe de France de basket, Vincent Collet, a déclaré lundi qu'il comptait sur Tony Parker pour affronter la Finlande lors du deuxième match des Bleus en repêchages à l'Euro-2009 samedi à Pau.

"Je pense qu'il jouera. Combien, comment, c'est autre chose, mais je crois qu'on ne pourra pas l'empêcher de jouer. Il aura trop envie", a souligné Collet au sujet de son meneur de jeu, rappelé vendredi à San Antonio pour des examens complémentaires à sa cheville droite et qui manquera du coup le premier match face à l'Italie mercredi en Sardaigne.

"Il sera de retour jeudi à Pau et on ne joue que samedi. Il voudra jouer de toute façon, a insisté le sélectionneur. Samedi au téléphone, il était encore un peu agacé de devoir rester plusieurs jours (aux Etats-Unis) mais aussi très content de revenir."

AFP.

He will certainly play saturday.

Italy will beat France. You can bring all the NBA players you want but I'll take Belinelli, Soragna, Mancinelli, Gigli, and Bargnani any day over a bunch of guys trying to play an NBA style in an international setting.

i must say that france have players who dont deserve to play i nba.there are much better players in europe who can play i nba for sure.starting five for is just good.the rest of guys on roster never prove their game in europe.I just dont know why nba teams pick them in draft??
