Les Bleus is Getting Prepared

Les Bleus is getting ready for the quarter-final match against the Greeks tomorrow night. Or, really early tomorrow morning. So early in fact that I can never catch the games. With a tougher Boris assuming the lead, logging the most minutes and enabling the other players on the floor to play well this team just might come together to get a win against Greece. In the game vs. Angola Boris controlled the game well enough to allow Jeanneau to make plays. I think Boris is utilizing his size in these games to D up. When he can stifle the other team's offense by playing tough D then it opens up his options on offense to be the playmaker that he is, elevating the game of his teammates. Hopefully they get their act together, and Ronny Turiaf stops talking long enough to get a rebound. Ronny on Diaw:

He's taken so much weight off everyone else's shoulders...He's trying to carry us through with his leadership on the court and off the court as far as talking to us with where we are supposed to go and what we are supposed to do. He especially has given us confidence that we can make it happen regardless of the situation.
