    That block on Delfino was SICK

    BTW i know he does this all the time, but LeBron is an incredible player. He is better than MJ

    Durant needs to stop chucking and start playing some D. Delfino has cooked him up pretty good. KD is 7 for his last 21 in this Argentina and in the QF AUstralia game combined

    I see USA breaking this open in the 3rd.

    USA can go on a quick strike and score 10 points in a minute blowing the game wide open.

    It's so frustrating to see how many threes this team takes. Two offensive rebounds, both times kicked out to the three and they miss the cutting player for the easy layup/dunk/FTs.

    I dont think Kevin Durant will ever be a good perimeter defender. He is not fluid on the permieter, he has long arms and can poke the ball free from time to time. But for the most the quicker guards will have an adavtage over him. Which is what makes LeBron guarding players like Rose and Westbrook so INSANE

    Kevin Durant is like Dirk in so many ways.. its not even funny

    Carmelo Anthony.

    Only makes his jumpers when we're up by 20.

    Yeah, but he makes three in a row, including one from WAY downtown. That's impressive, no matter what the scoreboard says.

    Medal game will be shown live on sunday on NBC, at 9 am local time. Telemundo will also show it, but i think they'll have it on tape delay like 2 hours later.

    Hmm, no posts yet about the gold medal game?

    Kobe keeping USA in it. Spain keeps easily getting USA to bite on pump fakes (horrible wing defense D by US). Game has been a game of long range jumpshots other than Marc Gasol in the middle.

    edit: now Melo lighting it up from outside.

    Ugh, these refs are calling such soft fouls for Spain but when we get bumped on the perimeter, it's play on.

    Great game thus far and getting heated. Ibaka is a beast and Love is pretty quietly effective. Russel Westbrook only guy clearly stinking it up.

    With or without the 4th foul on Marc Gasol, Spain can't keep this up the whole game. At some point they will falter and the Team USA will blow it open.

    Only things that can save Spain is to stay unconscious from long range until the end and/or for the 2nd half to be a complete foul-fest.
