Once Again, It's Pau Gasol vs. Dirk Nowitzki

by DexterFishmore on Sep 7, 2011 5:01 AM PDT in Game Threads

I apologize for the bad memories that arise from seeing those two names together in a headline, but I thought you'd like to know that Spain plays Germany today in the second round of the EuroBasket tournament. You can watch it live on ESPN3. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 a.m. California time.

Gasol with the alleyoop. haha its over. Spain wins, 68-77

Kaman had a great game cause of the attention Dirk was getting.. Pau came alive in the 4th, and younger brother Marc scored 24 points.. I dont think Rubio made a basket but was active on defense… Rudy Fernandez was an idiot. It was obvious the Germans rebounded the ball better, despite the good frontcourt rotation of Spain… Navarro is a Derek Fisher with driving ability and playmaking..

Damn Lockout

by imposibol on Sep 7, 2011 7:25 AM PDT reply actions

Pau 0 points 1st half 19 points 2nd

Marc is an absolute beast, makes his team better just by being on the court. Dirk was contained well but the German guards torched them,

Ricky gambled way too much and got driven by over and over, however he does have a Rondo-like ability to rack up steals and rebounds very well. If he manages to improve his shot, which shoudnt hard since it’s shit, he’ll be a pretty decent fantasy player.

The Germans have a long SF who played really well, Navarro is awesome but he does have such a smug face, it makes you want to punch him….
