Navarro and Pau peak era was better.


Calderon, Garbajosa, Rodriguez etc. They were absolutely insane. Even had Ibaka and Mirotic in there for a bit.

It was a once in a lifetime experience for Spain.


Aldama and Llull are probably the only two players from this Spain Olympic team that would have any shot at making those old Spanish rosters.

So both Germany and France need that win today to avoid playing Canada in the quarter finals :o but if whoever loses today goes on to beat Canada in the quarters, they avoid playing the US in the finals, right? Interesting

French public is starting to moan, and I understand it. We have a mismatch with Wembanyama guarded down low by freaking Schroder, and Gobert decides it is better to drive instead.

"Gobert uncomfortable on offense" is the most polite understatement of the games by the British commetators.

This game could get out of hand, quickly. France needs to get it together.
