Les Bleus Had the Eight-Finals on Lockdown

With Boris Diaw enabling and Aymeric Jeanneau bringing his best playmaking game at point France's Les Bleus handled Angola with stifiling defense and shooting. It was a complete team effort and the captain, Boris

was very strong at points but never took over the game in scoring 14 points while Mickael Gelabale hit a number of big shots in scoring 14 points as well

Is this some kind of late-August, early-September madness? Because these things are getting down to business pretty rapidly. Les Bleus didn't allow Angola to play, using tough defense. On France's play:

They didn't allow us to score easy points. We knew the French team play well on defense, and today we saw the same thing. It's a very dangerous team, and in the quarter-finals they can surprise their next opponent. I think we started a little bit nervous..."

I know that Boris is a quality defender and it appears that he has been bulking up. That would help him bang more in the post on D, which would help the Suns out immensely. Now they face the undefeated Greeks. If they can continue this great team play and solid D they can get a win over the Greeks. Some snaps from the Angola win below:
