What's new

Spain 2014 FIBA World Cup

my indoor Spalding kicks your molten's ***!
Twas a real rarity back then and was a cool thing to own a la Mercedes Benz. (Yeah)


LoL

To be honest, Spalding's were a big deal back then more than now. NBA and Jordan thing. But that ball of mine was a fantastic one and not one person said a bad word about it. But after many years, "kurt kocayınca köpeklere maskara olur" hesabı it started being laughed at. I killed everyone that giggled at it. The ball did the 12 years for me when I was playing ball and bringing it underwear and cigarettes and smuggled something sharp if any **** hits the fan in prison.
 
You know what? I'll show it to you. Here is my babe. Here is my gorgeous. Here is my precious...

moltens have those soft touches when worn out.
they are light, easy to handle and have this "dry" feeling.
They wouldn't get "alive" and slip somewhere, when you play bball.
 
Exactly my ball. Not too usable right now though. The side that is not shown on the pic has some ripped parts. Maybe I can work something on them with some kind of glue or smth.
 
So guys, will we use this thread to talk about the FIBA World Cup? AKMVP, you're there buddy?
 
Sure, lets do it. It starts tomorrow!!!

12 games tomorrow and since it's weekend I will try to watch as many games as possible. I want to see Saric/Hezonja/Bojan/Tomic so I will start with the opening game Croatia-Philippines, then obviously New Zeland-Turkey.

Australia-Slovenia and France-Brazil games should be fun to watch so I will try to watch both alternately. And if I don't die from excessive basketball I would try to see Mexico-Lithuania and USA-Finland games as well.

Great advertisement by Turkish Airlines in favor of the Turkish NT. I don't expect anything from them this tournament but I really liked this little clip:

Croatia-Philippines started. Very good pass to Saric from Tomic. Philippines have quite a support in audience.
 
Croatia leads 15-4, Philippines looks helpless and Blatche is butchering their play.
 
37-31 Croatia at the half time. Awful coaching from the Croatian side. Saric dominated the first Q but he didn't get much time in the second. Tomic still struggles and can't finish anything on the offensive side but he had some nice assists.

Blatche on the other side is absolutely horrible but Philippines cut the lead with some lucky long distance shooting.

At least Tomic is getting the rebounds and getting some assists. Unfortunately, it's against one of the shortest teams at the WC. Did you see the pump-fake and penetration by Blatche against him. It's cringe-worthy seeing Tomic in defense against any NBA-caliber player.

Oh nice hands on that possession to collect that low pass.

Yeah, can't care about rebounds too but his assists were very good.

Even though he's a smart player, he has no chance against a successful fake because of his awful lateral quickness. There is just no way for him to recover with his slow feet.
 
Anyone using livebaskteball.tv?

The stream stopped and it won't work in any way. I'm trying to work it out the last half an hour.

Gosh, I hate this kind of online services, you pay yet you can't even get what you paid for.



Livebasketball.tv, YOU SUCK!!!
