US vs. Puerto Rico

[chuckywang]

Final:

Puerto Rico - 92
US - 73

They cut the lead to 8 at one point. But some truly amazing shots by Puerto Rico sealed it.

If things keep going the way they are you might not be too far off.

yeah, are you on pay for view? I am watching some horses right now.

All Team USA has is a bunch of rich, self centered, and uninterested millionaires.
They are getting their asses kicked by one of the lowest seeded teams in the
tournament! Way to represent!! They didn't learn anything from their pre-olympics
tune up games... there was no wake up call. THEY JUST DON'T CARE.

what a joke.

The game's on NBC. LOL, USA divas getting pwned!

 

[MisfitsFiend]

Honestly, I think they deserve to lose to get their fat heads down to earth...just my .02

 

[chuckywang]

Geez, give these guys a break. They've only been playing together for a very short time compared to other Olympic teams.

 

[BamBam215]

hm. im watching channel 4 right now and they said usa vs puerto rico will be in an hour LIVE. wtf?

 

[MrDingleDangle]

if you watch the exhibition games, you can tell it's really not because they haven't had much of a chance to play with each other, it's the inexperience of playing team ball. a lot of these guys are young bucks who are used to being the savior of their team. thus they aren't used to only playing 10-15 minutes. guys like lebron, carmelo, wade, amare, stephon, etc are not used to playing without the ball in their hand. so everytime they step onto the floor, it's like they need to get a few shots up because they know their minutes are limited.

i think team usa would have a better chance if they brought an entire team like the spurs, wolves, lakers, or kings (with their respective scrubs) than to put together a bunch of these young superstars.

 

[Schadenfroh]

but, they are part of us

 

[chuckywang]

I say we just send the Detroit Pistons to the Olympics, and replace the Euro players with other people.

 

[chuckywang]

Haha, the Spurs are made of a bunch of European players. It's like their entire starting 5 is international: Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Turklolu, Nesterovic.

How are you guys watching this? I live in Southern California and have COX digital cable but I can't seem to find this... all i can do is watch the scoreboard on www.nba.com.. anyone watching this is SOCAL?

 

[tennisflip]

Dang only down 9 w/5 to go. We'll probably still lose, though.

 

[RabidMongoose]

So if the US loses this game, are they out of contention for the gold?

Larry Brown just needs to get a starting 5 and stick with them. Shuttling players in and out just they all can play is killing the team.

I believe the Pacific time zone is going to be tape delayed. You should be getting the game in a few minutes (12pm PT).
