    Lol Wade is perfect for this type of whistle-happy game.

    Ricky Rubio looks like a 30-year-old soccer mom with that asexual haircut of his.

    looks like the refs are betting on this game with the way they are calling it.

    is this going to be the highest scoring game in history?

    and how does deron williams commit that foul? they're calling everything and we're in the penalty and you get right up on him and start bodying and reaching. you know what they're going to do.

    and then wade has a dunk and somehow drops it out of bounds to keep us from a 9 point lead.

    Spain has no chance in this game if (1) they don't play better defense and (2) if the refs don't loosen up the whistles. 38 points in the 1st quarter is a bad omen when LeBron and Kobe sit on the bench most of the time. If both teams are in major foul trouble it's a huge advantage to Team USA.

    Who was it again that said Team USA didn't need Wade? You still under a rock? C'mon out now.

    I hope it gets chippy because Team USA will keep it's focus instead of getting lazy. Spain should realize that but they don't.

    The only chance Spain has is to start using cheapshots and forcing the USA to retaliate.

    FIBA officiating is a tragedy. Makes me appreciate NBA refs.

    Dude, Wade is just......WOW!

    Seriously, if you're a Miami Heat fan you have to absolutely be loving this. 50 wins this season? I don't want to go crazy here but if the Heat aren't a top four team in the East i'll be surprised.

    every single time we could blow this game open, we miss a 3, they hit an impossible 3, they accidentally bank in a runner, we turn it over. something happens, not good.
