re: 2008 Olympic Thread - Tuesday 08-12-2008

so how bad are we gonna beat angola?

Probably by 40+.

OMG James just spiked a block just straight down. He should play volleyball as well lol.

Getting sloppy out there...

We're playing with no intensity at all. With the exception of Lebron and Wade.

You know what guys, USA needs to beat these guys by a good margin because I am sure every other team will and point differential could play a big part down the line.

It helps that Spain choked against China and we beat them handily.

Well Spain did not blow out Greece or China, if USA can manage to defeat Spain and blow out Greece it works out perfectly regardless of how little we beat Angola by.

I loved how our women played yesterday. They were up by 50 and still playing like it was the 4th quarter of game 7 of the finals.

USA is just fierce at closing out the half, we go on such long runs they are unbelievable. USA is amazing at forcing the turnovers.

That circular dunk by Lebron was pretty nice.

Wade with a little show right there. He is on fire, I honestly think he is the quickest/most explosive player on the team.

Out of our remaining competition, who is the best at slowing it down into a halfcourt game? My biggest fear is that we rely too heavily on fast break opportunities.
