Anyways, great win for team USA.
I'm going back to bed now.
You're probably right.
BTW, excuse me for using "their" insted of "they're" in my previous post. I'm half asleep.
Anyways, great win for team USA.
I'm going back to bed now.
most of the chinese players are includin yue and the pgs
the starting pg is a ot, overdribbles too m uch not creating anything, and when he penetrates into the lane we all know what his going to do, scoop windmill layup. dont get me started with the backup pgs....lmao fukn ...should stick to street bball.
yao needs more touches on offense imo,
that number 10 guy playin off the bench, he was pretty consistant in the first half with his 3s, good spot up shooter from downtown, too bad his playin with guys who dont know how to outlet pass...
team china sucks as much like team australia
I loved seeing Kobe suck so much as he did.
Blocked by Yao, travel, out of bounds,
This made it an amusing watchable game for me.
Luckly I saw quality bball earlier today when Latvia beat Argentina.
Now I have to wait till US vs. Spain at the end of the week...................
Nothing like hearing Dubai Sports commentator getting excited on plays. I have no clue what they were saying except when they call a player by his name. However, I got to see it and that's all that matters.
Whoa. Link please for the final stats?
EDIT: Got the scores. Lithuania 79 - 75 Argentina
the reason NBC isn't showing it for you is because NBC showed the game LIVE on the EAST coast of the USA but will tape delay the game 3 hours for the WEST COAST
you were supposed to go to the NBC website here

and watch it LIVE for free online on your pc
wow yi looks like a fukn busts
Yi totally sucked tonight. I looked at the box score and he made like 3/13 shots. To be fair, the USA pressure defense completely took the Chinese players out of their games. Yi couldn't hit a bucket all night and took too many 3 pointers he couldn't hit. Yi was a chucker and was a big reason for so many quick pts off the break for the USA.
Collectively, the China NBA players they just stunk it up.
Yao was 3-10, Yi 3-13, Sun 3-8

Nice start for Team USA. It only gets tougher from here though.
Totally agree! Not to say our National Team had any chance of winning.
Our Prime Minister also realized this. He urged the Chinese Team to focus on gaining dignity & friendship during a visit to the team 1 or 2 days ago. I think they didn't disappoint him.
P.S. Also happy that this thread goes to 160 replies!

It's just starting here on the West Coast, when I heard the music I knew you guys would have already commented on it.NBC using the old John Tesh music.
That's great.
Maybe when China gets some better athletic guards they can be a force. Right now that guard play of theirs is atrocious. The announcer said that players that might have been really good guards were routed to play soccer by the China Sports Authority. Maybe if they routed some of those soccer players into basketball instead of soccer they can be a force in 2012.
I believe the game will be replayed at 1:45 PM EST. Not suer which channel.
nice win. expected nothing less since this china team isnt top notch compe ion.
Maybe if they didn't "route" players....
In their Communist Sports School, they train half days at whatever sports they do and have half days learning to read and write and do basic math. Children are routed into these schools at the age of 5 years old depending on whatever skills they seem to exhibit. If they shine in their local schools, they are sent to the National Sports Academy to train away from their family. The gov't pays for everything and they are routed to the sport they are most proficient in. So guys that are really quick athletes with good hand eye coordination and the ability to jump are routed to play soccer instead of basketball. So if they quit doing this and put more emphasis on basketball instead of soccer, you might see some really good guards come out of China in the next 4 years. On the other hand, Manny makes a good point. Maybe if they just let these kids develop their skills for their local schools and set up a USA type basketball system, we'd see some really good talent developed on the local level maybe even just playing streetball.
what can i say while our team got blown out hugely .
yi sucks at basic fundamental .actually, i can say that most of our players lack of fundamental which prevents us to play solid throughout the entire game . our starting PG is such a fool , he should have fed the ball to Yao instead of making dribble penetrations . maybe we will be more compe ive when the 19 year PG gets developed.
meanwhile, the USA team performed badly today . if they keep playing like that , i will question mark that they can win back the gold metal .
Wow.....................................old NBC music FTMFW.
Anybody know how I can watch these games onlines LIVE instead of waiting for the tape?
ugh yeah... look at my post at the top of this page...
http://www.nbcolympics.com/tv_and_on...20/online.html
doesn't work it says page cannot be found, I think the reason that this is not the full link. I mean after tv_and_on what are those ... doing there. I'm sure that isn't the right link.
Too much perimeter game from Team China. Not much fell for Team USA in that area though.
Things turned around when Team USA started using full court press. China turned it over badly. Not that I'm complaining though, since most of those transition baskets turned into highlight reel material.
Rockets fans probably held their breath when Yao limped in the 3rd. Hopefully, nothing like it happens to Manu.
It would have ruled if Costas was announcing the game or Albert.
yup, it isn't full link but it works
it takes you to nbc olympics website, just click on online listings to the left.
Agreed.
Mike Breen always acts like he's in love with the star players whether it's the Olympics or the NBA.
It's only annoying when he's doing NBA games though.
