PrintHere is a thread for all of us that are going to watch the game live online. This thread is only for us streaming folks. If you watch it at 10 AM I encourage you to go to Dave's post.
On an unrelated topic, if I was 16 and like 5' 2" and was worried about dating a girl shorter than I was. I'd totally be like, "Shawn Johnson, sup?"
Go Rudy! and uhh US too, I guess.

3 Minutes Away
I love getting this quality of basketball in the middle of the offseason. Lets hope this one ends up being a great, close, hard fought game.
Unlike the game I just watched ;-)
China – Germany: No points and horrible officiating to make China advance
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."
Hey, they even gave James his beloved magnesia powder to throw up in the air
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."
RRRRRRRRUUUUUUDDDDYYYY Triple-Triple-Triple

Rudy also inbounds the ball under the basket - interesting

It's looking good for Spain
Excuse me for a few minutes while the 100m are on.

Can our team of all black players defeat the racist team from Spain?

Questions:
The winer will find Argentina in his way to the final. Do you want to avoid Argentina?.
The winer will earn a lot of confidence. Good or bad?.
Who should give some rest to some players this game?
Do you test systems or hide them?
I´m ready to lose.
The Midnight Rambler
whos the winer?

I think the US players...

I think Spain is trying to win but won’t mind very much if they lose.
Lithuania has looked like the team you want to avoid.

"it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -- Homer
It seems like the US
can turn Spain over any time they want. CP took young Ricky to school.
Wow.
I didn’t see the Rudy pass between legs of the defender for a layup. They just showed a replay. Very impressive.
The way Team USA plays...
is almost like the old Knicks or Heat played in the 90s… using brutal defense to compensate for a lack of a beautifully coordinated offense.
not on TV until 10 am (if you are on the west coast)

Is Pau Gasol
one of the fattest skinny guys you’ve ever seen? A flabby bean pole? For that matter the entire team of Spain looks that way.
Are you saying all Spanish players look alike?
by trevorthegreat on Aug 16, 2008 7:52 AM PDT up reply actions
I'm saying they look to need a little
better training. Try lifting some weights.
Gasol actually gets some arc
on his free throws. Rare for a big…
Team usa
is a bunch of complainers. Whatever part of me that was hoping for a US win is now dead. I have not respect for people complaining when they’re up by ten.

??
Its not like 10 is an insurmountable lead, and its not like Spain doesn’t complain.
Its fine if you aren’t rooting for the USA but that’s not a very logical reason. I think its pretty hard to argue Spain has better guys at this point.
Boomshakalaka
oh no
team usa definitely has the better talent.
and you’re right it’s not insurmountable. I don’t need logic. I HATE freaking babies on the court.

One thing no Blazer fans have talked about
What about Nate assistant coaching for team USA. Think he is picking D’Antoni’s brain non-stop for offense tips?
Seriously, I wonder how this will affect him and if it will improve him as a coach going forward. I was proud to see Nate chosen to be a part of the team.
I wondered if that doesn't confuse team USA players today
Nate vs. D’Antoni. That must create impossible requirements. And then you have Coach K, who like to control everything but they play run and gun.

i hear rudy

I hate to state the obvious
But Rudy really is a piss poor defender. He won’t see the court until he shows a little responsibility toward his man. If he was providing help D, that’d be another thing entirely; but he isn’t.

How awful was Spain’s game plan? Run a full court press against the U.S.? To provide MORE fastbreak opportunities and speed up the game??? Shoot early in the shot clock? Mind boggling.
are they chanting Kobe?

Howard
Howard has been really unimpressive in these Olympics. I don’t know if he is not as into winning or playing hard as the other guys or he’s just not that good.
Kinda amazing how having Kobe, Wade, Paul, and Lebron in the game can make everyone else look ordinary.
Wade and Lebron duo right now
is one of the most deadly recent duos I’ve seen. How many times have we seen Bron feed it to Wade for a dunk…though you would like to think in an NBA game Wade would be the number 2 guy to not leave open all the time if he was on a team with Lebron.
About Howard, I wouldn’t say he’s looked that bad, just very ordinary. Plays are being run for guards by guards (and SF/SG combos) on this team, not the big guys. Howard would look a lot better if he would grab some rebounds instead of swatting them though.
I was pretty happy with Rudy tonight. His defense was ok. I wish people would stop saying his defense is bad… did you by any chance notice who he was guarding? A few big names…can’t think of em right now though… he seemed pretty pesty for that player who’s name we shall not mention. Other than not playing much he was always involved when he was in at both ends. I mean come on he was going at it with a cranky Lebron without backing down, give him some credit. If defense is judged by how well you guard Lebron every single player in the NBA is terrible at defense.
His stats were not that bad
8 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers. Not amazing, but not horrible either on a team that was clearly overwhelmed.
Case in point: Calderon almost disappeared, shooting 0 of 4 from the three point line and 1 of 9 from the field, while also getting 4 rebounds but 0 assists and 0 steals. The guy was a borderline all-star last season, with amazing statistical averages in the NBA. Rudy will be a fine backup next season, probably making at least the All-Rookie team.
