this is friggin' ridiculous. we have been in the penalty halfway through both quarters and now we're getting called for loose ball fouls on made free throws even though spain shoves the crap out of us on every free throw attempt. this is stupid.
I want Michael Redd! and for some reason Spain is reminding me of the Jazz. that means we should put williams/boozer combo in, and ak47 should sit courtside for motivation.
the best thing about the olympics so far has been the nba on nbc theme being revived. just phenomenal.
Way to justify your existence by FINALLY making one out of three layups in the last minute Carlos. Amare you suck for sticking us with him. We should just send Zach Randolph or Kelvin Cato out there.
is carlos boozer throwing these games? he has been luther head-esque this entire summer. he blows layups, drops damn near every pass that comes his way, gets killed on defense. he had a terrible shot instead of giving wade an alley-oop, then blows that last layup before finally making a gimme tip-in. he's been such garbage it's unbelievable. between team USA making a ton of sloppy turnovers and spain getting 2 ft's every time down the court, this lead is a lot smaller than it should be. we need to just focus on the first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter. a couple of quick 3's for spain and some sloppy play from us and it's a game. some focus and we could get it to 20 and effectively end it. aside: have we gotten an out of bounds call yet? i think we're about 0-6.
that guy on the end of the spanish bench is signaling traveling on every possession for the US. He even did it on those tip attempts at the end of the half. It's really distracting on TV to see that douchebag spinning his arms EVERY possession. Give it up, dude.
Guys who should have a chance to replace Boozer - not sure how their games would translate to international rules, but: Al Jefferson Josh Smith LaMarcus Aldridge David West I would also say Antwan Jamison but too old.
Carmelo is draining 3's - bad sign for everybody else. And wow Jason kidd makes a basket - game over.
Anyone willing to guess how long its gonna take in the NBA for Marc Gasol to get posterized? I say about 2nd quarter of his first game.
