PrintA reminder that Spain vs. China will be televised tonight at 1:45 a.m. Pacific on MSNBC. Believe it or not, I have obligations at that time (and no, not sleep...welcome to my crazy life) so I wont' be able to watch the game live but I will TiVO it and bring a recap sometime Tuesday morning. In the meantime, consider this a Gameday Open Thread for all of your night owls (or morning/afternoon owls considering what continent or island you dwell upon).

Coffee, lots of it...
A little baileys mixed in their never hurt anybody either. Unless of course they drove afterwards, in which I say fore shame :(

Yeah, another two or three games to watch today ;-)
Life is tough.

Third!

Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.
China needs to use American time zones
Sure there will be complaints about how the circadian rhythm of the chinese people won’t match the new, better American defined time of day, but that’s only a small price to pay for our ability to watch Rudy at a reasonable hour. It’s not like they can even see the Sun through the smog in Beijing.
The street lights is on.
I, for one, am looking forward...
... to USA v. Spain, but today’s two matchups will suffice for now.
Boomshakalaka
That will be a big one
I am looking forward to seeing if Rudy comes out all geeked up for that one. It should be his best showing.

Dave's going to a kegger
I’m gong to DVR it too. I’ll be on the but at that time.

Watching Germany against Greece right now
Man that’s pretty ugly. Germany played well in the first quarter until about 21-21, then got outplayed in the second. Now down by 11 at halftime. Greece gets easy baskets inside after setting good picks, Germany shoots from outside (at around 50%, the only reason they are still in the game). Papaloukas and Diamantidis are so big and Germany’s (point) guards so small that sometimes a nominal PF like Nowitzki or Jagla has to defend the ball handler.
Odenied: Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...
Uah, ugly
Germany now down by 20 after the third. They couldn’t even manage to foul when they wanted. Almost no 2 point field goals. Both teams with over 10 turnovers. Mhm, what might be wrong if a 5’11 PG defends a 6’7 PG?
Odenied: Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...
Well, the scrubs managed to keep it respectable in the 4th, losing by 23 and preventing a complete blowout
Greece played much better than against Spain, but Germany made it very easy for them, getting the good players quickly in foul trouble and constantly letting mismatches and bad boxouts happen. Somehow Germany traditionally plays bad against the aggressive defense and tall players of Greece. I can’t remember more than a few wins ever. So it’s not the end yet, the game against China will decide who advances.
Odenied: Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...
MSNBC starts coverage at 2 am
At least that’s what it looks like. I’m going to record the show at 1 am also. Any one know if this is right?
I was snorting around the in-demand section of Comcast looking for the Olympic BB channel...
.......................... no such lock.
When I was channel-surfing this evening I did see that they’re going to rebroadcast the entire 1977-78 Blazers championship series on Comcast SportsNet (ch. 37) next week—one game a night, starting Tuesday. I didn’t hear a time, but I reckon Dave or somebody will be on the case.
I’m starting to wonder if staying up to 2 am for a game start is the brightest thing I’ve ever done.
t
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
I want my Olympic BB Channel too
DirecTV is SUPPOSED to have one, but I couldn’t find it. Maybe it’s for HD-only subscribers?
I am a caveman living in the past with my regular ol’ TV set. I feel so small inside :-(
Anyone got DirecTV and know the BB channel? I’ll E-Love you forever if you do.

You kids
I get it on 2 channels. Once in digital at 260 and once in HD at 1260.

game has started
Its 10-9 Spain. Yao had a monster jam on Pau followed by a 3 by Rudy. If you guys are on delay I’ll stop doing updates from the future.
Now 11-10 China. Tough draw to start for China (US then Spain). Greece/Germany/Angola are going to seem like a walk in the park by comparison.
Now 12-11 Spain.

THE LIARS
On MSNBC right now, they just had an ad for YAO VERSUS PAU, stressing it was LIVE.
LIES. ALL LIES.

For those evil Chinese taking offense to his grand scheme to make them self conscious about their eyes.

I wish Jesus didn’t hate me so :-( I lived a charmed life until this day.
It was a good run.

Morrocco was the only country I spent a lengthy amount of time in that I didn’t meet any Americans anywhere I went.
Im frustrated....
I just sat through 15 mins of celebrity gossip and than at 2am it switches to “already in progress” spain vs. china. I just missed the whole first quarter. It is available in HD on UHD channel 757 though.

I think he could be a top 2 center in the NBA and a HOFer if he didn’t get run into the ground by the chinese government.
Gimmicks don't make dynasties
This is such an ientertaining game
regardless or Rudy, 2 very good teams are duking it out and hopefully it goes down to the end.

But I don’t think they thought they had a chance.
You can tell today they think they have a shot to win. And they do!
If they hold up
Like everyone said last game, they are very shallow talent wise. Spain has real depth.

Blake doesn't go for steals
Rudy reminds me of a Spanish Dwyane Wade, only going for steals all the time.
He's a ballhawk
As long as we got others to fill in and big dudes down low (which we do) he can be free to pester everyone and be a ball hawk.
China looks good
I don’t think they can win here, but I could see them beating Greece and or Germany.

Have you watched the last minute of Navarro on defense compared with Ricky or Rudy? That is why he can not play in the NBA.

When I was at the University of Oviedo...
I watched two young Americans with their backpacks visiting the building where I studied. It was and ancientt building and still had the marks of shots from the time of the Asturias Revolution (about 1933) and the classrooms were incredibly crowded, with students sitting on the floor and even on the space formed for windows. They laugh and I did not feel ofended. I feel it was like if I visit the University of Nairobi and I find people with their books on a tree. They were good US guys finding a topic made real. And humor is about topics too. If someone use topic to offend another I will go against him inmediately.

Before the game
Rudy said Hitler had it all wrong, and everyone nodded appreciatively, but then he finished his sentence and said “Hitler had it all wrong—IT SHOULDA BEEN CHINESE, not Jews!”
Ohhh that Rudy has a lot to learn.
I was looking for stuff like:
Spain’s racist hate fuels their desire to dominate the Chinese team and it’s working.
"I grab every opportunity to tweak Timbo." - annthefan
I said they taught those uppity Chinese a lesson
They should know its their place in the global community to be continually mocked and belittled.

That's the tough edge

It’d help more if they were racist against Blacks, because being racist against Chinese only helps a few times a year.
I just figured it out
KP drafted Rudy for his racist edge.
"I grab every opportunity to tweak Timbo." - annthefan
Also, when I met KP
He was with that Hawaiian dame people say he’s with now.
I didn’t know he was married but I thought maybe he was so I kept hush hush about it.
KP is a player.
I watched the Denver game with him
From two seasons ago, where Sergio had a great game.
I sat just a few seats away from him, prolly creeping him out but I wanted to see how he watched a game and how he reacted.
He was EXTREMELY into the game, and if I didn’t know it was KP I’d think he was a overreacting douche.
He was living and dying with each play.
It was awesome to see.
Hmmmmm
Good question.
Maybe over?
He was INTO IT. As was I, but it was odd to see from a front office dude (he wasn’t GM yet) since you expect them to be more ‘big picture’ and not like a fan at a bar.
He was very very surprised I recognized him.

And he grew up in Compton so maybe he got crap for that and he can release all of his pent up rage on the rest of the NBA, racial-style.
Since we went over racism again on Blazer's Edge, itsn't it time to start talking about weed again?

Nah, he's too skinny.
Now ask me about Marc Gasol.

Has anyone ever noticed that Melo yells "ahw shit" every time he goes up for a rebound (at least when he gets contact)?
Odenied: Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...
I was offended.
My coworker won’t stop talking to me, so my response time is slow.

Might be a poster for the new Nike Hyperdunk campaign
“That ain’t right”. But it was pulled due to people finding it offensive. And I would agree this time.

Anyone read Golden State of Mind?
Some of them there are so homery they are convinced they got a BETTER team now… not just a mediocre team, a better team. It depresses me so much.
I mean, we’re homers, but if we are about to have a bad year like in the past we knew it. They’re talking playoffs.
I respect Monta Ellis, but I wouldn't want to have him be my starting point guard
Odenied: Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...
Yuh yuh
He’s a GREAT scorer, but he’s not even a good dribbler.
He’s an anti-PG. He’s an end point with the ball. Nelly-Ball needs a good decision making PG.
You could go over and tell them about Rubio
Then maybe they would clear their playoff spot for us without putting up a fight?
Odenied: Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...
Monta
Will be all the PG they need, most think. Bums me out.
I already cleared them off of the playoff race list. Our competition is the Clippers is that mismatched crew somehow puts it together (and Davis is still a very good player if motivated) and Denver, and the Dubs is out like gout.
One question
In my signature, what do you think annthefan is tweaking?
"I grab every opportunity to tweak Timbo." - annthefan
Timbo regularly supporting chaotic Outlaw trades?

You should check out Mozambique
A communist star, a book, an AK47 and a pick axe. Nice.

Mormons would always harass us
My momma comes from a messed up Mormon clan and they would always find us no matter how many times we moved (the Mormons, not the family).
I mights gots to follows the fellar

OK-- that's it
Time for “bed”.
I’m DVRing the rest and no one can talk me out of it.
Whoa, big oop off of the inbounds play. Oden will do that better.
Goodnight everyone. I will think of you and dream of the day when we can be together, when this blasted war is over and we can run barefoot in soft grass down in the valley, hand in hand, not a care in the world just each other, each other and our hopes and our love.

Did you see Prince and Bosh on ESPN at the great wall?
They axed about his legs and walking the wall. Prince said he didn’t have to worry because he was only going to play 8 minutes.

The fans in the arena don't seem too sad that their team just narrowly lost an hour ago
