    This is going to be a really tough test of Team USA's character and their team approach to these Olympic games as a whole. Lebron has provided a spark the last two games. Who will step up this particular game and do the dirty work/ hustle plays that it takes to succeed in International play?

    It will be interesting to see if Shawn Marion starts for RJ in this game. He has played MUCH better than RJ in the tournament. I think Wade should start in front of Marbury as well.

    Yes, this one could get ugly. They are going to have to shoot well to win. If they shoot like they have in the past they could get blown out. But lets see...

    Jefferson 2 plus the foul. He might have a good game today. We're gonna need it.

    Sweet dunk by RJ. So far so good for US. Lit will miss eventually.

    That slam is what RJ can do. Not shooting.

    I know but at least he went to the basket strong. Maybe he'll hurt one of them when they try to take a charge :)

    Ya, lets foul them out. Our second team is still much better than their second team.

    Lithuania can really shoot.

    America = worst in Olympics at 3-pointers. That was a telling stat.

    That's what I'm saying. That's why it's so important for refs to call this game fairly. If the other games were called fairly, the other teams would have couple players in foul trouble early. Second unit for US is just as good as first unit if not better.
