copy and paist

Some interesting differences in the FIBA game compared to the NBA game: The ball is slightly smaller and is generally considered a little slicker than the NBA ball. Also, the obvious rectangle lane has been a big difference. The games are 10 minute quarters instead of 12, and the foul out limit is 5 instead of 6. The 3pt line is closer too, which is a big difference. FIBA and the NBA are working towards unifying the rules and findind some common ground (Are you listening NCAA with your 150 different 3 point lines???)

at the half

Howard, LeBron and D Wade are all in double figures for the US, and Morais, on the strength of 3 three’s, has 14 for ANG.

The US gave up ten more points than Germany, while only scoring two more

Soooo, not that much better despite a much better bench ;-)

Now I am all confused

USA > China, but China almost = Spain
Spain > Greece, but Greece > Germany

Will Rudy now lose against the US by 30, too? I don’t think so. That and the rematch USA – Greece will be exciting games. Good night, and good luck.

china =/ spain

Spain is the best or second best team out there. China isn’t in the same league despite the close game.

Is the ball

the same diameter as the womens ball in America? That would screw you up. It would also be lighter.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

Why the heck are they not showing USA vs. Greece or USA vs. Spain, or are they? Please help, does anyone know if the games are televised?
