    Gutsy performance, but you would think a 7 footer would still get more than 3 rebounds in 28 minutes. Looks like both teams shot a combined 42% and Turkey was outrebounded 44 to 30. Really a tough loss for Australia.

    If Slovenia pulls out a win against the U.S, watch out NBA season 2014-15, Dragic is coming.

    There's like a millionth of a percent chance of that happening, but he still might come over, if he finds the right situation for him.

    They choked or near choked 4 of their 6 games, in essence, the ****ty princeton offense they ran was beyond useless against any team once they ramped the defensive pressure up.

    Agreed, no way they can do it. I'm curious to see what numbers dragic can put up against the best in the world.

    No defense being played in this US v Slov game. The US need to practice their defense for Spain.

    Harden 0-6
    Curry 0-4

    It's a good thing the team is getting to the line and that Thompson is on.

    Watching Slovenia vs. USA. I think Spain will win against usa. USA is leading only because of steals and offensive rebounds. They will not get that against Spain. And USA has some troubles in defense too.

    just looked at the box score, had to double take at Harden. 0-8 is that a glitch?

    He's constantly flailing his arms in the air, expecting a foul, usually throwing the ball at the backboard.

    Harden just does not have it today.

    Surprising that going into today he actually led the team in 2PT FG%, just barely ahead of Faried. Not anymore.
