SPAIN V CUBA GAME OPEN THREAD
The game starts at 19:30 in Canarias, which means 20:30 in the rest of Spain and 11:30AM in Portland. But broadcasting is delayed and won´t start untill 21.00 (Spain), 12:00AM Portland Time. What a mess!
Clarifying: WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH THE GAME STARTING AT 12:00AM PORTLAND TIME.
Someone, preferably myself, will post a TV internet link in this thread.
Aparently this link should do it.
You can also look for a link here (click on "21:00 Basket: España - Cuba"). Remember that sometimes the links in this site don´t appear until the last momment.
Finally, there´s a link to follow stats, play by play, rankings, etc, but I aware you that it´s "live", I mean half an hour before the game broadcasting. Read twice before you click on here.
Rockets fans and Timberwolves ones are welcome. They have Sergio Llull and Ricky Rubio, or at least their rights.

nevermind...
I think I just figured it out by looking at the Spanish time. FYI…it’s much easier to understand, if you say 12 noon or 12 midnight. Just saying.
Maybe we could start with France vs. Spain at 11:00 am and then switch ;)
I don’t really feel like creating another Nic thread today.

France vs. Italy of course. France vs. Spain would be huge in the EuroBasket.

I think I can stream them both at the same time.
Will you put a link for France Vs. Italy in this thread Norsktroll?

Nic nice layup, Florent Pietrus big block. France takes 10-2 lead.

thanks amlmart1
i was wondering how you were going to explain the “delayed-time zone” stuff, it really is a mess. 30 min to go! I need my fix of ÑBA, even if it’s only an easy friendly.
France leads Italy 41-27 at half. Nic Batum w/ 12 pts 6 rbs 5 stl. Return of Parker helps a lot, and Florent Pietrus is good too.
Go Spain

I'll come over when France vs. Italy is finished, 3rd quarter just started

Cuban player almost loses the ball in his own dribble a la Zach
at least he didn’t airball it afterwards
Claver is on, and a monster oop from Rudy to Llull
yeah the game is delayed on TV 30 min
and then the feed is delayed 2-3 min. It’s like a chain of delay. Instantaneous streaming now. Get on it, Norsk
I did too
What are the yellow dots past people’s names? Fouls? There seems to be a monstrous discrepancy between the two teams.

Is that La Sexta feed running for people, or are we stuck with Justin TV?

yeah..
That la sexta link isn’t working for me either. Justin tv link isn’t thaaat bad though.
I am streaming both games...
Batum has 16 pts and 8 rebs.
Rudy Tootie..... I just don't get it
Tweener
good stuff from Rubio
but he should try and score more often. He goes for the difficult pass instead of the easy basket.
I think so.
Is that Justin feed all we have for Spain?

Quit and start it again. I have a picture.

i'm looking at the live stats
in real time, the 3rd quarter has just ended. Cuba made an amazing comeback and leads by 2 (not really).
I fear the Cubanos took the Orishas too literally

what a monster 3 by rudy
Spain can score at will but they’re too relaxed on defense, not that Cuba takes advantage of it.
Angola qualifies as first team (after Turkey and USA) for 2010 FIBA world cup by beating Tunisia 79-69 in African Championship semi finals.
Other semi-final is Cameroon vs. Ivory Coast. Cameroon surprisingly eliminated heavy favorite Nigeria.

Can someone give some stats

I got all exited because there was a match labelled United Kingdom Vs Poland.
It was Croatia.

What’s the story of the game, aside from Cuba not being very good and Spain is great?
not much
Spain is a bit rusty, low 3pt percentage and some errors in defense. But Cuba is very inferior.
Ricky isn't playing much and has 0 points. Claver is repping the Blazers
and Rudy is, of course, Rudy.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE CLEAVE
He can come out during the warm-ups in a bloody apron and a fake cleaver and really play it up for the crowd.
Maybe he could use the T-shirt tosser to lob frozen steaks into the crowd.
I’m beginning to like it now.

He can take over the Les Schwab free meat giveaways.
It makes too much sense not to pursue this synergy.
Cuba
sucks. I like how hard Rudy was playing. Pesky hands on defensive. Couple big shots. Creative passes here and there. Let’s start the season.
story of game
Spain pretty much scoring at will, and now that they’ve got a lead, not even working too hard at it. Cuba comes down every time and I guy goes 1 on 1 desperately. Rudy looked very confident. But again, this is like scrimmage. Ball handling solidly.
Spain breaking, going to the basket, Cuba frustrated has started to foul hard Spain now settling for jump shots
Rudy Tootie..... I just don't get it
Tweener
Rubio
comes in the game. Go into globe trotter routine. He’s the man of the future. Game plan changes. (before i meant Claver looked comfortable, making freethrows, hooking up with Rudy, etc. Not the pizzazz that Rudy has. But that goes without saying.)
The Cuban team must be off the streets, they don't finish like professionals.

Anyone on Cuba's team a young prospect or playing in Europe somewhere?
At least in a noteworthy manner?
The highlights of Cuban basketball seem long past. A bronze medal in 1972 in Munich, and some success in the 80s
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba_national_basketball_team
Reminds me of a guy for the national team of Trinidad and Tobago contacting Hoopshype to help him find NBA players of that decent. I was able to find one who plays in Spain, the last NBA players are long gone.

Did Marc Gasol lose weight?
His arms and chest looked skinnier… which I don’t think is necessarily a good thing.
First names on the back of jersies
It’s a concept that’s growing on me. Not everyone on the team. Maybe just: Greg; Nic; LeMarcus; and Dre.
Thank you amlmart1 and Norsktroll
for a great day of basket ball.
