    Looks like the game will be aired live on NBC as well as the Olympic Basketball channel, which is ch 754 on DirecTV at 1:30 AM CST.

    I'm predicting a 30 point win by the good guys. Hopefully with a little luck they'll get a camera shot of a teary eyed Pau to top it all off.

    It looks like ping pong will be over by the time they air the game. These ping pong guys are crazy though.

    well i'm glad to see the refs brought it so far. 2 fouls on lebron, weak foul on kobe, kobe tackled with no foul. nice.

    so pretty much a disaster of a start. kobe and lebron with 2, team USA in the penalty 4 minutes in. i told you kobe fouls more 3 point shooters than anyone. we're gonna lose.

    omg are we going to play any defense whatsoever? completely out of sorts in the biggest game, yep america in an international tourney.

    a worthless foul when in the penalty, no defense, biggest stars on the bench, spain throwing passes in the basket.

    Team USA's penetration is there whenever they want it. Unless this stops don't expect this game to be close. Eventually USA's depth and ability to get to the basket is going to smother Spain and their 3-pt shooting.

    I loved the way Kobe stared down LeBron on the bench. When they come back it's Game On.

    Go USA!!
