PODCAST #110: La Bomba and Les Bleus Battle To Be Europe's Best
Who's more important to Spanish success: Juan Carlos Navarro or Pau Gasol? Why does Slam think Spain can still win if Tony Parker drops 25? Is Joakim Noah really the key to French success? Would you leave Rubio on the floor in crunch time? Is France actually deeper than Spain? Does Vincent Collet have the upper hand after that little stunt he pulled last week? If Spain wins, are they better than the Yugoslavian teams of Drazen, Divac and Kukoc?

That's a lot to think about. Someone should have a podcast about it or something.
PODCAST #109: If Peeing Your Pants Is Cool, Consider Me Milos Teodosic
And how can Spain stop Bo McCalebb? Well, they can't. But will the Spaniards' talent squash Macedonia's annoyingly scrappy will?
We talk about Timofey Mozgov and foul trouble, Joakim Noah and his "offense", how Alexey Shved dominates your eyes without busting up the statsheet, and whose tattoo actually makes you pee your pants: Pero Antic's and Andrei Kirilenko's?

PODCAST #109: Martynas Pocius Talks Macedonia, McCalebb, and What A Gold Medal Would Mean to Lithuania

You'll want to listen to this one.

PODCAST #108: The Voice Of EuroBasket On Atmosphere, Tanking and Cinderella Stories
If you've been listening to these games in English, you've heard Jeff Taylor. Animated, opinionated and with enough of a Southern accent to make me feel at home. Now the Voice of EuroBasket joins us from Kauno Arena to talk about the tourney. The good, the bad and the unexpected.

Some of the topics we cover:
-After seeing them both live, who would you take: Jonas Valanciunas or Enes Kanter?
-Is this Lithuanian crowd influential enough to lead Lithuania to a Gold Medal? How many points are they worth?
-Is it tough to stay neutral when a team like Finland is poised to do the impossible?
-What was Vincent Collet's explanation for pulling Parker and Noah in Spain's rout over France? Is that sort of tanking bad for international basketball?
-Does David Blatt think this team is as good as the Russian EuroBasket champions of 2007?
-On a neutral floor, who's the best team out there?
-Has Macedonia embraced Bo McCalebb as one of their own?
-Has the expansion of EuroBasket from 16 to 24 teams been a success, or a mess?
PODCAST #107: Turkey Takes a Step Back, Can Finland Leap Forward?
Serbia sends Turkey packing, so what does that mean for Turkish basketball? Should Vincent Collet have rested Noah and Parker in France's embarrassing loss to Spain? Can Petteri Kopponen lead Finland---and Nick's fantasy team---to victory against Slovenia?

PODCAST #106: We Should Totally Have a EuroBasket Fantasy Draft
We can also listen to Slam sing about Milos Teodosic. And celebrate the return of pumpkin spice lattes at your local Starbucks. But still, mainly, we should have a EuroBasket Fantasy Draft.

PODCAST #105: Croatian Disappointment, Finnish Surprise and R. Kelly
Group play is over. Done. Gone forever. But before bowing out, it

Yeah, didn't think so. But you get to anyways.
