    Is there a mercy rule?

    Finland just wants to shoot threes and misses every time. They are rattled.

    They haven't made a FG in the 2nd quarter :eek:

    I wonder what's the worst beating we have ever given a team.

    Yeah there should be a mercy rule. 42 point lead by half. No field goals made in the second half. Great defense by USA

    29-2 in the second quarter.

    So much of the world is still VERY VERY much behind.

    I think our Mcdonalds All-American team could beat these guys.

    Harden sprained his right hand... Good thing he only goes left.

    He said he's okay. Minor sprain probably.

    Man, I hope it's a very minor sprain. Sit him out until he is healthy.

    Why is the USA team and this tournament not getting much national and worldwide media attention it deserves just like the FIFA World Cup? :confused:

    Basketball is more popular than Baseball and Gridiron Football outside the United States.

    The USA team gets that kind of attention during the Olympics. The FIBA World Cup just never gets as much attention.

    Not many people in the States give a damn about international basketball. Not many people in the States give a damn what the rest of the world thinks about international basketball.

    Comparing this to the World Cup is so ridiculous I can't believe you are serious.
