A reminder that Spain and Greece play each other today, being televised during the 11:00 p.m. Pacific Time Olympics block on USA network. The Blazers' press release said the game itself would be televised at 11:30 p.m. We'll see about that. I'll be sacrificing sleep to observe our newest shooting guard ply his trade and we'll bring you a recap tomorrow.

I am definitely staying up for this one
I just hope they really show it at 11:30. Like Dave said it is in that 11:00 block of Summer Olympics on The USA network. I would think a Basketball game against Team USA’s two biggest threats would be a broadcasting priority for a Cable channel showing the Olympics at the same time as NBC, but you never know.

It would be amazing if Spain and the US meet in the gold medal game. Win win for Blazer fans.

well...for most blazer fans
not as much for those of us from outside the US who would love to see the stacked US team disappoint again. kind of the same way we like to see duke go out early in the tourney every year and the yanks not get to the world series. maybe if broy was on the team, but he’s not, so Im all spain!

That little point guard is a burden on Blazer’s Edge. Dave needs to hire an au pair.

Mhm, can't replace Dave but here are a few quick hints what to watch for
Russia – Iran: Iran looked horrible playing in summer league in Utah, but then quickly improved in the pre-Olympic exhibition games, beating pretty strong European nation Serbia. Their 7’2 center raised some eyebrows among NBA scouts. Still, Kirilenko & Co. have to win this one.
Germany – Angola: Nowitzki, Kaman & Co. need to win thins one against the presumably weakest team in the group, or they can all but pack to go home. Angola gave them trouble in the last world championships though, sending the game to double or triple OT.
Spain – Greece: On the Spanish squad, apart from a young SG playing for Portland next season that some people here seem to be interested seeing in action, watch for teenage prodigy Ricky Rubio who apparently is already much better than Spanish Chocolate and two shaggy big men named Pau and Marc Gasol ;-)
On the Greek squad, watch for huge point guard Papaloukas (6’7) put fear in the hearts of his opponents using a number of high pick and rolls (I would guess the US will have to use Kidd or maybe even Kobe to defend him, he would just overpower everybody else). All team members play at home in Greece, and are used to playing with each other since they were teenagers. A lot of the guys are dangerous outside shooters, especially the guards. 6’9 mini center Sofoklis “Baby Shaq” Schortsianitis who gave the US a lot of trouble at the last world championships is also back on board.
All in all, note how team oriented both Spain and Greece play and how well they defend. Judging from previous European and World Championships, this could be one of the best games in the tournament, worthy of a semi-final.
Lithuania – Argentina: On paper Argentina has the better individual players, but Lithuania can get really hot shooting threes. Everybody on the team can hit from outside, even power forwards and centers. Undoubted leader of the team is Sarunas Jasikevicius, a role he was never really given in the NBA. Nuggets forward Linas Kleiza is also on the team. Interesting matchup. Oh, and you might be able to catch a glimpse of our unsigned draft pick Federico “The Stache” Kammerichs playing for Argentina, as pointed out in a fanpost a few weeks ago, though he very likely will never suit up for Portland ;-)
Croatia – Australia: Australia should be the favorite here, giving the US a warning shot in the last pre-Olympic exhibition game. Though Croatia has a few interesting players, including former NBA guard Planinic and next year’s addition to the roster in Toronto, PG Roko Ukic.
USA – China: The US needs to win this one against presumably the second weakest team in the group. China is very unbalanced, with a strong frontcourt (Yao, Yi, Wang) and a pretty mediocre backcourt. Their guards are pretty lousy, one can’t dribble, one can’t score, and all look out of control at times. Huge 6’9 guard Sun Yue was a second-round pick by the Lakers in last year’s draft, and will be on their roster next year. If that’s reason enough to hate him already, start to hate. As for the US, they undoubtedly have the strongest individual players in the tournament who are athletically superior to most other players. But questions remain if they can play as a group under pressure and if they can adapt to the peculiarities of FIBA basketball. Probably these questions will remained unanswered today, as China won’t give them much trouble. Expect the fans in the arena root heavily for their team, but ooohhh and aaahhhh any dunk by team USA at least as loud.

As expected, so far Russia beat Iran 71 – 49. Didn’t see too much of that game as swimming was on, Kirilenko and Holden apparently couldn’t be stopped by Iran.
Likewise Germany dominated Angola 95 – 65. They were quickly up by 20 thanks to solid play from Kaman (top scorer, quick post moves, should wax the nasty hair on his shoulders). Nowitzki played good while being on the floor less than usual today (hit a heavily contested nice three at the end of the second quarter), and Germany also got a good effort from guard Hamann who is known as efficient when driving to the basket but in this game also hit some outside shots which isn’t his strength. The bench looked solid (much younger than in previous tournaments, planning for the generation after Nowitzki) while not frightening. Solid coaching with well placed timeouts. Germany could afford to mostly play theirs scrubs from the middle of the third in order to get the starters some rest for the hard next game against Greece. And they demonstrated Olympic spirit by almost all sporting Olympic rings shaved or colored in their hair ;-)
As for Angola, they shot very well from the three point line and put some effort into rebounding, but overall looked overwhelmed. The team is small, the average height is just around 6’4. They confirmed that they are the clear outsiders in this group.
Next up, Rudy against Greece.

Does anyone have digital cable?
I have 8 Olympics channels in HD and two more that are not in HD. One is just for basketball and one is just for soccer. Does anyone get the HD Olympic basketball channel? Starting at 8:00 PM my time USA will play basketball for 12 hours, and the basketball channel will play 12 hours of basketball starting at 8:30 PM. I have them both set to record because my guide from the local paper lists Arentian vs. Lithuania at 8:00 PM on USA.
I am also watching fencing right now. It would be so cool if they did it in front of a blue screen.

Full schedule Olympic mens basketball tournament, local time
Subtract 15 hours for time in Portland, 12 for time on the east coast, 6 to 7 hours for the time in most countries in Europe.
For quick conversion I use a great widget on my Mac (timescroller.com) that automatically shows local times in any city you want plus indicates overlaps between different time zones since I have to schedule calls between countries quite regularly and can’t expect people to be in the office after midnight ;-)
But there are also a number of time zones and world clock websites to get the job done.

I am so happy for her, what an achievement! I went to high school with her at Valley Catholic in Beaverton and she is just one of the nicest people i know. An extremely hard worker, she has put her all into fencing and her back to back gold medals is a testament to her work ethic. Way to represent Oregonians!

They hide people getting water board torture, female aborted fetuses, human rights/free speech/free Tibet activists’ bodies under the court. It’s too difficult to wipe away.

I say
He’s a playmaking wing.
I don’t think he’s big enough to be a 3, not quick enough to guard 1’s, but he can play both positions on OFFENSE.
If we do a 3 guard lineup (Roy/Bayless/Rudy) we’ll have to figure things out defensively.
He can be a PG on offense though, easy. He’s got a great first step and is a real good passer (not shown so much in this game). Even once he beefs up in a year or two he’ll be pretty small for a SF… under 6’5” without shoes.
