Yeah he hasn't been terrific but has actually brought a lot of energy to the second half. Give him the ball in the right situation and he is unstoppable.

Well he needs to learn how to pass after the triple team at least...Ok he can score on 2 but on 3-4, even for real Shaq on his prime wasnt easy...

I was absolutely convinced that Greece were about to tank this one. Common practice. Russians are of different mentality and character obviously.

Weird to see Batum be the first player taken out for France.

I really don't think it matters. I highly doubt Greece can beat the U.S.

They have a better chance at reaching the semi finals now. Which they don't deserve at all. Let's hope New Zealand beats France.

New Zealand going for a huge upset here. Let's hope we keep up the hot shooting.

France still have 6 NBA level players playing. They should be playing better than this. Diaw needs to get his rump in shape.

I'm interested in seeing how Argentina/Brazil/Spain/US look going forward.
