what have you even done with your name other than constituting nuisance on a public forum?
Get a life dude!!! undecided

The question is is it positive or negative?

i watched that game last night and felt like crying...D'tigers got better with every game but they woke up rather late. They did performed better than they did against Lithuania. That Pal Gasol guy of Spain was the one who actually dashed our dream of winning that game. all good tho...
you think others don't improve too.when u take 2 steps the one ahead of you takes 2 too so he is always ahead.just good for nothing.make athletics start make we begin they carry last and 2nd to last.

Why would we compare our basketball level to these European teams?...we are even lucky to get this close.... They play all play standard all year round basket ball leagues, tournaments and all... These naija players who came together to pull these results tried a lot!

The boys played well.. Those of you who didn't watch the game will be saying SH!t.
Look at the FIBA rankings, Spain is no.2 while Nigeria is no.24 ..

If the boys had started strongly,they'd had won
had they been more clinical, it will have made a great new beating Spain......

OLYMPIC Basketball: Nigeria looses third straight game, beaten 87-96 by Spain (PHOTOS)
Considered to be the Group of Death which consists of World powers in Basketball (such as Croatia, Spain and Lithuania) Nigeria are yet to win a single match in Group B at the ongoing Olympic Men's basketball in Rio. On Thursday night they yet again narrowly missed out in staging a famous upset against Spain but have to wait a little longer for their first 2016 Olympic win as they narrowly lost 96-87 in their third game. Nigeria occupies the bottom table of the group and still have to play tough opponents; Brazil and Croatia in their next matches.

The boys played well but I was sad huh . They needed to work on their defence. If they had someone who could drive in a win some fouls, it would have been a different story.

I must say a big kudos to our basketball team. They did quite well and their quality and standard of play was quite high. They gave their best in the 3 games they have played thus far. Their margin of loss was slim in the games they played with Lithuania and Spain. Mind you these countries and power house in basketball in Europe.

The standard of basketball games in this Olympic is quite high. Australia almost defeated USA in their basket ball game on Tuesday. If not for the 3 points ability of Carmelo Anthony, Australia would have gotten away with a win.

if this tempo is maintained we will be able to rival and outperform Angola, Senegal and Tunisia in FIBA Africa.

Well guys you have done your best just pity uou all for even going to that Olympic under this kind of govt we have in Nigeria where only what interest the bad lucky taller than wisdom leader is to arrest people using his boyscout EFCC and shout corruption every other things are not important.

I have said it and I'm still saying base on 1984 information when the "taller than senses leader" was a president Nigeria was a shadow in virtually everything was wrong then and if this bad luck man is not sent packing in the next 2 to 3 years Nigeria will be gone even country like Somalia will be much better in qaulities of life than Nigeria quote me wrongly to your own peril.

I have never seen a one way traffic president like the one Nigeria imposed on themselves called Buhari, if you read newspaper or listen to News especially on the current ongoing Olympic you will hate this govt with passion the more and yet Buhari show no concern despite a world wide embarrassment at Rio yet he was not moved, his idiots followers kept defending him, its now over a year in power and yet noting to show all are failure upon failures all he care is to arrest and try to Islamiize or Northernized Nigeria by his useless appointments and every other things including Nigerians welfare, economic, security etc are nonsense to him and to worst it all the only thing that unite Nigeria as one is Sport this taller that senses man don't care about it, please what else, what is the meaning of existence of Nigeria as a country pleasehuh

Please this is nor APC its for Nigerians I mean the real Nigerians and not APC because I don't know where does APC came from and I don't see any APC as a human in Nigeria soil.

Watched the game and I can say I was impressed with their performance. We only need to correct a few things and we are good. We missed some free throws, three pointers as well as rebounds. The coach should work on those areas.

Anyone who was awake last night to watch this match will agree With me that the the nigerian team tried and made us proud...they practically frustrated Spain team all through the game to a point those guys were purposely fouling our guys.

I don't give a hoot about the final results but the nigerian team really trashed Spain who are acclaimed to be No. 2 team in FIBA.

The nigerian team was way better than the Spain team. .just that they lacked confidence and coordination amongst themselves in the first quarter.

Team Nigeria basketball 4eva. I was impressed with their improvement. DEM BOYZ ARE SO GOOD NOW!
