USA vs. Brazil: Game Blog

Splitter >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Elson

I bet the Spurs are counting down the days until they can make the swap.

Brazil needs to a little better coaching. Barbosa needs to be set up for the shot and not carrying the ball. Nene is too slow for Brazil to run. They need to leave Splitter on the floor as his hustle is contagious. Brazil guards look lazy.

Entire USA all-star team against 2-3 legit brazilian pro players..Did you expect anything else?

[BeerIsGood!]

looks like checkmate on Brazil. What was Splitter's +/- compared to the rest of the team's +/-?

Can't find the stat line on FIBA, espn, or NBA.com

Splitter looked good going strong to his left when everyone was lifted and he was in a one-on-one situation. He's not so good when he goes right, away from his strong hand.

It was fairly obvious when Splitter went to the bench. His team's spacing and screen setting suffered in getting separation from their defenders. They went from down by 5 to down 18 at the half.

Barbosa is really being exposed.

That already happened in the WC semi finals.

You are the man, thank you so much.

It's going to be hard for Splitter to keep playing well as it loos like everyone else has quit playing.

I hope Tayshaun's sprain isn't too serious. It looked like Tiago banged legs with him going for the rebound there in the first half.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I hope Tayshaun's sprain isn't too serious.

Ditto.

[Switchman]

Nice Tip In!

"Do something with the contract." STFU BILL WALTON


i'd like to see Splitter be a lot more aggressive under the basket at trying to get open.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Bill Walton drives me insane.

[duncan228]

I lasted ten minutes then muted it because of Walton.

[dbestpro]

Nene blows.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Did Billups just block Nene?

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Beautiful, Chauncey!!

[Switchman]

Nene blows.

Wow he just had a wide open dunk under the basket and passed it out while the buzzer went off

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

splitter looks like austin kucher, ha

[dbestpro]

Now I know why Splitter fouls out. He's out there trying to guard everybody elses man.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[HighLowLobForBig-50]
