Re: Men's Quarterfinals Wednesday Aug 8
Has anybody else noticed that 3 of these match-ups (the ones not featuring the U.S.) are historically epic country clashes? Brazil and Argentina are rivals, and Brazil stole Argentina's coach. Spain and France have pretty much been rivals in basically everything since the dawn of European society. Lithuania and Russia have been rivals since the days of Sabas.
The quarterfinals might as well be called the grudge match round.

What's with France lately? They're not playing nearly as well as I was expecting heading into these games. Trailing France by 3 at halftime right now, 37-34.

Re: Men's Quarterfinals Wednesday Aug 8
Spain just looks like they think they can coast into the Gold Medal game. I would LOL if France beat them after they tanked their way into that side of the bracket. Spain would be 3-3 in the tournament if they lost.

Re: Men's Quarterfinals Wednesday Aug 8
The way it's playing out, it's going to come down to the final few possessions. France leading after three quarters, 53-51.

Re: Men's Quarterfinals Wednesday Aug 8
France needs to stop screwing up and get back on defense. They were in good shape but they couldn't cash in a couple of chances and then they didn't get back twice.

Re: Men's Quarterfinals Wednesday Aug 8
Clearly Batum was going for the ball on that foul, but that was a hell of a punch to the gut that he delivered.
