thanks spurschick... but was hoping id have a grasp of the flow of the game

[ro_50]

USA up 37-36 w/ 5:40 left.

Timeout on the floor.

The officiating has been uneven at best. Or just plain awful for both teams.

[Spurologist]

Defense is at a premium right now. USA needs to keep it up.

[ro_50]

So far,

Melo is heating up w/ the team's last five points. He hit a three from the corner and a J.

LJ is settling for too many jump shots and the team has a whole is a little too hurried against the zone.

Kirk and Battier have played great when they have been out there.

Jamison started and didnt do in his time out there.

Arroyo is playing like he did against the US back in 04.

PR just went up again on a dribble penetration lay-in.

[angel_luv]

Carmelo has made some pretty shots.

[orhe]

thanks man! poor shot selection me thinks makes the US vulnerable

[ro_50]

Someone needs to stick that Dalmau guy, the PR guard.

US is up by two, 43-41.

Kirk is playing great and Melo as well.

[ro_50]

Wade dunk, 45-41.

[ro_50]

I mean 44-41. My bad.

[Pistons < Spurs]

They really need better 3pt shooters. What a shame Michael Redd isn't available to play. He would be lighting it up from beyond the arc.

[angel_luv]

US seem to have their wits about them. I haven't notcied any nervous plays.

PR just went up again on a dribble penetration lay-in.

He was arguable the best player on the team earler on with his rebouding.

[ro_50]

Doesnt it seem like the US team is going through the motions.

[ro_50]

Jamison rebounded but didnt do anything else noteworthy out there.

[Spurologist]

USA is playing the same Puerto Rico team they demolished in the exhibition. The only difference is PR is making all of their three and Carlos Arroyo is on fire.

[ro_50]

USA up 54-47 w/ 1:30 left.

Joe Johnson hit a three in the corner.

[Spurologist]

Jamison rebounded but didnt do anything else noteworthy out there.

Name a USA player that did when Jamison was in the game

[orhe]

thanks for the updates guys

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Damn theres still one more quarter of this. 87, 74 U.S. leads 4th qtr.

[2centsworth]

Dwight Howard is a beast!

[T Park]

USA struggles against the zone.

Good thing we had a college coach there to figure the zone out.


Cause that was the huge knock on POP can't figure out the zone, and that would be his big hold back.


No Bowen, No pop.

nice job Jerry C.
