China getting poleaxed by the Aussies right now

then they hit some treys and get it down to ten.

The LTU coach really doesn't want to give JV any burn.

France played some good basketball, very reliant on getting to the hoop.

Argentina didn't come to play today. Failed attempts at flopping, arguing with officials, missed shots, etc. Tunisia really moving the ball well and hitting all of their open shots. 28-14 Tunisia after the 1st quarter.

**Diable** · 08-02-2012, 06:50 AM

Tunisia is up 28-14 at the end of the 1st quarter. Argentina keeps looking for the refs to bail them out and they aren't getting what they want.

JonMatrix · 08-02-2012, 07:16 AM

Manu Ginobbli absolutely carrying Argentina in the first half. 19 of their 40 points. They played with more defensive intensity in the 2nd quarter, but it seemed to disappear when Manu left the game.

Tunisia needs to get back to moving the ball like they did in the first quarter and when Manu was on the bench in the 2nd. They've bailed out Argentina by playing one on one and dribbling too much. There's a huge opportunity for them to pull an upset.

JonMatrix · 08-02-2012, 08:17 AM

Well so much for that. Delfino and Scola both woke up in the second half and Argentina pulled away. It's going to be tough for them if Prigioni misses any more games though. Tunisia deserves some credit for playing with pride and not giving up despite being the least talented team here. Mejri with a nice game- 19 points, 14 rebounds, 7 blocks.

**Diable** · 08-02-2012, 10:30 AM

This is a terrific game between Brazil and Russia

**Krstic All-Star** · 08-02-2012, 10:30 AM

This Russia/Brazil game is incredible - now tied at 72 all with 26.3 seconds left after Shved (who had missed 2 FTs just before) hit a 3

**Krstic All-Star** · 08-02-2012, 10:32 AM

What a driving layup to put Brazil up 2 with 6.1 seconds left!

**Diable** · 08-02-2012, 10:32 AM

Great drive and finish... Looked like it should been an And 1 too

**Krstic All-Star** · 08-02-2012, 10:33 AM

Yeah, there was a lot of contact

**Krstic All-Star** · 08-02-2012, 10:35 AM

On the replay, it looks like his arm got knocked forward
