EuroBasket 2011 Gamethread GER-LIT
Since Turkey managed/failed to beat Serbia earlier today, Germany only has to beat the Host Lithuania [by 11], otherwise this is the last Game for Dirk for ever/a long time.
Again, it's 'No time to lose'. Enter Mr. Activity.

"Do or die Pt.2."
Game starts 1 PM CT, boxscore liveticker at fibaeurope.com, streams per usual.
Also, Cheerleaders.

Good luck to Dirk and to the whole German team.

"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
giving up alley-oop-layups
interesting strategy..
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
judging by the oncourt action
bauermann might believe it’s enough if Germany loses by 11…
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T

"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T

"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
jagla is consistent
ly sucking and collecting cheap fouls
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
if only ilyasova had scored that final shot things will be totally different
and we could have seen an exciting germany-russia in 1/4 finals
tur had 2 chances
to win that game. un-re-LIABLE
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
they sucked badly at the line
even Shaq could hit more than 55%. unbelievable they made only 16/29 from the line
i would struggle, too
if they whacked me four times before i release the hand
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
only points from the FT-Line
for Dirk so far.
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T

"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T

Ger 2 Ast, 9 To
Go Team!
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
they would give 15 quality minutes anyway.
so better put in someone else for 5 min rather than 2 tired players in dirk and kaman
1 round chess
followed by 1 round boxing..followed by 1 round chess etc..
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T

hm, they mistook kalnietis for tony parker

down 17
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
would still take more than 10 minutes
if they continue to give up 2pt-layups every single time.
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
btw, ger hasn't won a single quarter in this game yet
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T

"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T

"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T

"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
right
even if they are winning..lets say by 2 points they need to score on they own basket to force OT haha
group if full of scum teams...germany can trash them all, from top to bottom
only russia cold give them a good run for their money
FYRO Macedonia is 4-0 there...I mean GTFO with this pairings !!
that team has no shot against teams like germany and turkey who just got bounced out
dirk is proud, blames himself
and turkey
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
german tv insensitive
showing dirk-highlights from the national team (05, 08) and pressuring him about playing on
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
next to watch Dirk is back in dallas hope the talks keep going in the right direction
looks like the owners do want a season after all
they beat themselves
not really an uber-team
"Mais put… Il est fou ce gars!" - French Jesus about Jewish Ice-T
