China vs Spain, upset in the making?

[naico]

Don't know who's watching this game, but Spain really has to get it together in the 2nd half. China is beating them on both ends of the floor. The Chinese point guards are schooling Calderon and Rubio (Yeah, thats right).

46-37 at halftime.

[DPG21920]

China is playing with great energy, that is the main difference I can see.

[bdictjames]

This is the first time I've seen Spain in action.

[bdictjames]

LOL @ Craig Sager following the dress code. :lol

[naico]

If the Spurs need another shooter they should take a serious look at Zhu from China :downspin:

Meanwhile: 52-37

[naico]

Nice circus act from Spain!!

Another thing that pops out: Spain are world class in flopping

61-47 after 3d Q.

64-53, 8min to go.

[bdictjames]

Spain's looking more like the US out there. No team play, but depending on its superstars isolation.

[naico]

64-57, Spain having a run now.

65-61, 5min. left

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

Damn, the chinks are choking. I wanted to see an upset.

[bdictjames]

Rudy Fernandez just did a Ginobili sidestep there.

[bdictjames]

Three!!! China leads by 7.!

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

Big 3 by China followed up with a sick and 1 by Fernandez.

[naico]

68-67..Fernandez is red hot now.

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

Why is Collins expecting anything from Yi? The guy is a huge stiff.

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

BIG WANG WITH A BIG SHOT! This guy is money.

[Pero]

It's because of that add.

[naico]

Navarro with a three, 70-70..

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

Pau on the bench for the final 3 minutes? Spain's coach must have watched a lot of the NBA Finals.

Wow. Wang Zhi-Zhi is the fucking balls. He needs to get all the big shots over that soft bitch Yao.

[naico]

72-72, Marc Gasol with a lucky-ass shot. China gets last shot now with less than 20 seconds to go.

Edit: Spain gets it back after a TO. Rubio misses last attempt, we're goin' into OT.

[Pero]

Where are you watching this?

[Streakyshooter08]

Overtime.

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

Where are you watching this?MSNBC.

[naico]

It's a shame for China..Yao with some dumbass TO's in the last couple of minutes.

[Pero]

MSNBC.

Oh bummer. I thought you're watching online.

[naico]

Spain is finally gonna win this game when they deserved to lose. If there's one team filled with cocky, disrespectfull bitches in the Olympics it's Spain.

[Texas_Ranger]

[naico]

Fucking racists!

[Pero]

Is it over? What's the score?

[KidCongo]

Spain get out of jail in OT.

Spain 85

China 75

[bdictjames]

China needs a PG that can actually handle the ball.

[Fabbs]

China needs a PG that can actually handle the ball.
What did the 6'9" poiont guard guy who just signed with the Lakers look like?
The one with the *Magic Johnson* comparisons.
He's gonna play sg for the Flamers.

[manufor3]

Spain get out of jail in OT.

Spain 85

I just watched the 1st half of the game and I must say it was quite intense...will watch the 2nd half later.

Anyone know what was up with Jiminez from Spain who fell and hit his head on the floor at the end of the 1st half. No one touched him and he went flying....

He was running so hard trying to block the Chinese guard, that he fell. I didn't know he hit his head though.

Im very impressed with Fernandez; he was all over the place. Like an overactive Manu Ginobili.

the Spain team is mean . they were still trying to score when they were up by 8 points when the game was only 4 seconds remaining . i think that is the way they always show their respect to the opponents .

I think point differential matters in the Olympics.

[fotan2]

yeah ,probably . it is only 2 fucking points , pissed me off though

but hey , if they really care about that 2 points , they shoulda got into the game earlier instead of being so mean .
