This Spain team doesn't impress me. They are good but not great, then again neither are the USA.

Rubio's been pretty disappointing in his starts so far
Rudy Fernandez is a clown, the reason you aren't a playmaker for the Blazers is because you have horrible handles and leave the ball a couple of feet behind you multiple times
Marc Gasol 18 pts 8 rbs and 4 blks today, Spain goes as far as he takes them

France, Turkey and Lithuania all are darkhorses to do some damage in this tournament.

The All Star Gasol brother is more important than a lot of people thought.

Lithuania made a hell of a comeback. Spain just collapsed epically.

Spain most likely has to go through Greece and USA now.

wow,huge choke by Spain.
Assuming they'll finish third,do they'll be in the same bracket of USA?

sdeezy · Post #1236 » by **sdeezy** » Tue Aug 31, 2010 8:02 pm

All we heard coming into this tournament was Spain/Greece..Turkey, Lithuania, France and Brazil are the ones holding s*** down.

Jimmy76 · Post #1237 » by **Jimmy76** » Tue Aug 31, 2010 8:05 pm

spain intentionally lost so they could be in US's bracket

Watch-out for Turkey. Turkey (home court advantage) is 3-0 after beating Greece and has 3 NBA players: Omer Asik, Ersan Ilyasova & Turkey-Glu.
