so can we just not be fouled going to the basket? what has to happen? meanwhile, spain is committing 8 second violations in the paint and throwing us down and anything with no call.
Howard is limited by his immaturity and the wide lane. Team USA has clearly answered the "nerves" question about choking on offense late in a tight game.
Yeah, blowouts get boring. This game has some suspense, the first USA Olympic game that has a playoff like atmosphere. As long as we win, I'd probably prefer to watch a game like this that a blowout.
Big shot Wade! He, Kobe & LeBron won't let this team lose but at least we get to finally see a great game in this tournament.
Does anyone find the paint situation ridiculous? I mean fine, I accept there are different rules and different calls in the international game, but the fact that the lane is slippery is insane. It is affecting the way the players play! Players hesitate to go inside because they'll lose their footing. Thats just crazy.
rafer has a good game occasionally too, esp. with his floaters. this is navarro's FIRST good game all tournament. he sucked the last time we played spain.
I wish Doug Collins would shut up and stop trying to build up Kobe. He played good late in the game but his poor shot selection beforehand helped make it close to start with. If we had lost, it would be pin the tail on Kobe.
