PrintDon't forget Spain plays Germany tonight, apparently at 6:00 p.m. local time. The game may be online only. If you watch you can leave your Rudy impressions in this thread. I probably won't end up seeing this one (no word if Ben will), but either way we'll have an official recap of Rudy's performance against the U.S. this weekend.

Thanks Dave
Hopefully someone will keep posting stuff like this for us lazy forgetful people. I’ve already missed both the other Rudy games.
You know you can rewatch them right?
Go to this link and choose the August 12th games. Unfortunately, Spain vs China is the only game that doesn’t have a direct “rewind” link, but you can get to it by clicking on the “rewind” link for the USA vs Angola game. After the screen opens, go to the box in the lower right corner and scroll down until you see the video titled “Mens basketball: Spain 85, China 75 (OT)”.
I suggest watching the 1st, 4th, and OT. Rudy plays great in those quarters but not so much the 2nd and 3rd. Its definitely worth a blazer fans time in my opinion….
RUDY > MJ
Will you stay up? My timezone calculator tells me that game will be at 3am in Spain
BTW, Germany is mainly hoping that Spain won’t be fully awake at 9am Beijing time.
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
Are you really asking if the Midnight Rambler will stay up at 3 AM watching how Rudy plays? :-)
I´m an AM guy, AM-LMART1. I will be going from the PC at the TV and viceversa.

Just asking ;-)
A scouting report on your opponents follows shortly.

"You can't buy your woman a watch because she got a clock on the stove."-Sir Charles Barkley
I´ve heard that Ricky has his strategy to become a Blazer.
Rudy will say that he has heart problems, knees surgeries, etc, etc. Then he falls at the second round so he can be paid more than a first pick. He´ll keep the secret until the last minute when Rudy will tell the truth to our staff and they pick him. Hope KP will be still with us, because he´s the only guy who can discover this one (Batum, Batum, Batum).

The Olympic Basketball Channel shows that the Spain game will be on tonight
It is on Dish channel 99 if you have the HD channels. I believe the channel is also on Direct TV and Comcast.
The basketball games are all free online.
You can watch any game for free live, as well as watch games that have finished, in their entirety, for free as well.
Ok, that didn't work for some reason...
Then click on tv and online listings, pick online listings, choose basketball from the dropdown menu “By Sport,” and there should be a list of about ten games. Make sure that you are looking at today’s schedule, as sometimes the site will direct you to the online schedule for 8/6 for some reason.

The game may be rebroadcast on Telemundo (not sure of time, but around 11 PM)
I saw a listing for the Spain vs Germany game on Telemundo ( Comcast 26) for 1 AM CT.
For those who are interested, here is my scouting report with some ramblings on the German team
Not an expert on scouting by any means, but I did watch Germany’s first two games and a few prior ones in other International tournaments of the last decade, so I guess I have seen more minutes of the team than most here. And I just had some time to kill, so here it goes:
General strengths: Dirk Nowitzki. Take him out of the game (as Greece did amazingly), and they are almost dead. Decent outside shooters. Adequate zone defense. Four legitimate 7 footers. The core guys on the team have played together for the last decade with some nice successes at European and World Championships, and are energized for having finally achieved the Olympic qualification.
General weaknesses: The starting PG is tiny, the starting SG can’t shoot, the starting SF is a replacement. Style of play is often very slow, so they tend to take a lot of contested shots. Decided to get ugly Olympic hairstyles to emphasize team spirit.
Performance in the tournament so far: Dirk was the flag bearer for Germany, which already was more than he had dreamed of. Blew out Angola by 30 (while giving up less points than the US), then got blown out by Greece by about 25 with Nowitzki in foul trouble and Kaman rendered inefficient. Somehow Germany almost always matches up badly against teams with gritty defenders and better against free-flow teams like Russia, France, Italy, Turkey, no matter how many NBA players those have … Thus they are in the wrong group in this tournament, albeit having a realistic chance to beat China and an outside chance to beat Spain.
Center: Chris Kaman. He recently got German citizenship, and nobody should blame him for it. He wanted to play internationally in the summers, the US didn’t want him, Germany did immediately (see below why), end of story. We all know him from the NBA. Very quick post moves, can score with either hand, has a nice mid-range shot. Often doesn’t put much effort into his defense.
Backup Center: Patrick Femerling. Getting Kaman was a great upgrade for Germany, as he is the proverbial stiff 7’1 white big—with orthopedic socks. Team captain with lots of experience playing in Germany (three time champion), Spain (one time champion) and Greece (two time champion), but surprisingly little game for a guy with that success. Likes to dribble when getting the ball too far away from the basket, which he shouldn’t do. Has no visible elevation in his jumper or post moves. I always wonder how such a big man can be so decidedly unathletic when watching him, I think I never saw him dunk or block hard. Decent mid-range and free throw shooter.
PF: Dirk Nowitzki. Not much to add here what you don’t know already. Great turnaround jumper that can’t be defended one on one by anybody when he is hot (needs to hit a few early in the game). Since the three-point line is closer internationally, he is even more difficult to defend since he has learned to also drive to the basket if his defender gets to close or immediately shoot if his defender falls back. Draws tons of fouls and hits almost every free throw, although internationally players really hack him often without getting called for it. Best rebounder on the team, sometimes brings the ball up court himself immediately after catching one. At times rotates to the center position when Germany plays small, but with the addition of Kaman I have seen this much fewer times than in recent tournaments.
Backup PF: Jan Jagla. Another legitimate 7 footer. Former teammate of Rudy in Badalona. Versatile big man who never realized his full potential (he is already 27). Good rebounder. Likes to jack up way to many three pointers, which he can hit, but not regularly. Can quickly get in foul trouble.
SF: (Germany’s regular SF Ademola Okulaja (a former teammate of Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison at North Carolina) had to cancel his participation in the Olympics due to a bad spinal injury, which was later diagnosed to be due to cancer. Bless him to get healthy again and be able to live a normal life, albeit his career is probably over.)
This weakens Germany quite a lot, since now internationally inexperienced Konrad Wysocki has to start. He has good size for his position (6’8) and a good all around game, but plays unimpressive in this tournament averaging about 3 points and rebounds.
Backup SF/PF: Sven Schultze. A high energy glue guy, who can back up both positions. At 30, has lots of experience playing abroad and internationally. Like Jagla, tends to throw up too many three pointers, but in the past has hit some major ones for Germany. Often relied upon to score when the starters sit. Good rebounder, and isn’t shy to hand out fouls to stop guys from scoring.
The guard positions can vary depending on the opponent, but this is the most common lineup:
SG/PG: Steffen Hamann. 6’3 combo-guard, who would have a lot of potential if he could hit consistently from outside, which he can’t. Loves to drive to the basket, give him the lane after a pick and he can seriously dunk on you (pretty much the only guy on the team who can). Decent ball handler, but can get sloppy under full court pressure. Doesn’t dish out many assists.
Starting or backup SG: Demond Greene (if you wonder about his name and looks, his mother is German, his father was a US GI as is pretty common among German basketball players of his generation). Undersized 6’1 SG, but probably the most athletic player and best wing defender on the team. Often a great outside shooter.
PG: Pascal Roller. Undersized at 5’11, good ball handler, streaky outside shooter (when left open, of course). Can’t defend anybody, definitely not the guys Spain will throw at him. I think he almost wanted to punch somebody when Greece posted him up with 6’7 guards. Not a great passer. The fact that he plays for Germany for years and years and continues to do so over 30 speaks volumes to the lack of talent on his position in the country. The coach would probably kill to find a young star like Rubio. Backup PG: Hamann
Rest of bench:
Robert Garrett, SG, 6’4. Pretty much duplicates everything Greene brings to the floor, with more size but a little less skills.
Philip Zwiener, SF, 6’7. He is on the team due to a generational change for the national team, albeit also being already 23. Didn’t play against Greece, had one assist against Angola. And that was it. Did I tell you he is quite young?
Tim Ohlbrecht, PF/C, 6’11. Plays professionally in Germany. Participated in the Nike Hoop Summit, with mixed results. Athletic, hustling style, loves to (try) to block his opponents. At 19, pretty much the only current player in Germany with a long-shot chance to make it to the NBA after Nowitzki (there was a Hawaiian-German who excelled in high school, but he was a major head case and thus never made it to more than the NBDL so far and only sporadically to the national team).
Coach: Dirk Bauermann. Lots of experience coaching in Germany and abroad, won multiple national championships with his teams. Has been the national coach for many many years. Near-perfect English, good tactician. I would say he emphasizes defense and team play.
Value of the game regarding Rudy: Should be an interesting game observing Rudy, giving us a chance to see how he handles driving inside and rebounding offensively against two legit NBA 7 footers in the half court. Granted, they are not known as the greatest defenders, but it still is a good test. Imagine Germany represents the Bucks or something. On outside shooting, this isn’t a great indicator, as Germany’s wings and guards aren’t anywhere near NBA-level defenders and thus Germany will play mostly zone – and that not very successfully. Rudy might also get some more spectacular plays in the open floor, as Germany tends to turn over the ball under full court pressure or forget to come over for weak-side defense. I expect Femerling to be posterized at least once.

Who is who: Here is a photo, I think they actually wear these numbers now. Who can doubt that Kaman fits in perfectly?
First row left to right: 7 Garrett – SG, 8 Wysocki – SF, 9 Hamann – SG, 10 Greene – SG, 11 Roller – PG, 6 Schultze – PF
Second row (standing) left to right: 5 Zwiener – SF, 13 Femerling – C, 4 Ohlbrecht – PF, 15 Jagla – PF, 12 Kaman – C, 14 Nowitzki – PF
That grim looking dude with the mustache is definitely not the head coach, he looks much nicer.
Oh, and they already met the enemy (mhm, Kobe isn’t much bigger than a combo-guard):
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
wow
they’ve got some big dudes. Thanks for the scouting report.
Question for anybody: Greece has some good players. Why are none of them in the NBA?
Boomshakalaka
Just some guesses
Money: The top 3 clubs in Greece are pretty rich, so they pay their players more money than any rookie would make even before the dollar went south.
Papaloukas also played for CSKA Moskow for five years, probably the club with the best salaries in Europe. No NBA team would have offered a guy w/o NBA experience in the later half of his career so much.
Lifestyle: They seriously like it at home. Where would you rather be, at the Mediterranean or in the American Midwest? And they are big stars there, basketball is at least the #2 sport. In the US, they start out as nobody.
Style of play: Spanoulis did play for Houston one season, with limited success and little playing time. His style just seems to fit the international game better. Same with Fotsis, I think he played one season or half a season for the Grizzlies.
Schortsanitis (Baby Shaq) got drafted by the Clippers, but he is severely undersized and has conditioning problems that would make it impossible for him to play 82 games, so they never brought him over.
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."

Anyone having trouble watching the NBC online feeds on their macs? I tried every version of firefox and safari I could download and none worked. any tips ?
I had success with both Safari and Firefox, but Safari crashed on me once
Just a stupid question: You did install Silverlight, right? They don’t use Flash for the videos.
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
I always have troubles with my Macs
I always ask for no Mac sauce and the dweebs always put in on. I end up wiping it off with a napkin and using my ketchup I got for my fries on the Mac. Arrrgh…so annoying.
Krikey! Kiteboarding is Kewl!
I had to download the Microsoft Silverflight software last night...
........................................... it wouldn’t even let me watch without doing that. Haven’t really had a problem since.
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
not a stupid question at all..
I dont think so, but I will try that when I get home. I was considering watching the game at work on my PC.. but I’m hoping I get it to work at home. Also one more question, what version of Firefox are you using? THanks for the reply!
Firefox 3.0, Safari 3.1.1
One more thing: They ask you for your zip and then satellite / cable provider, I think I had to change that once cause the one I selected didn’t carry the game I wanted to see (bottom of the screen). But they have no way to check what you enter, everything goes as long as you are in the US – or at least have a US proxy server to get the right IP address.

UPDATE: Pete Thamel has more from Beijing.
Roberto Hernandez, the Spanish press officer for basketball, said he was not aware of the picture when reached by telephone. When told about its contents and asked if the Spanish team had made any effort to apologize, he asked a reporter to call Li Ning, the Chinese Olympic hero from the 1984 Games and the man who floated through the air at the Bird’s Nest to light the Olympic torch at the opening ceremony. The Spanish team is sponsored by Li-Ning, the footwear company.

Against this defense, he should be
