    Odom looks like a superstar. Just think if Team USA actually had a decent C on the roster.

    Iggy arms are sick. He looks more chiseled than ever.

    2014 they really need to change it so they play games every other day...I don't understand the rush here, playing 5 games in 6 days.

    Gordon needs to do this in the elimination rounds. That 3-point line is a FT for him.

    I would really like Kevin Love on the Rockets. I love pivots who can rebound and pass.

    Seems like every game Kevin Love plays in it has to be mentioned that his Uncle was part of the beach boys

    I thought Croatia would hang with them a bit longer than this. Time to look forward to tomorrow as neither team will play very hard in the 2nd half.

    So ESPN3.com is kind of like free t.v. online? That's pretty cool.

    Great all around game by Kevin Durant so far.

    He just had an outstanding full court outlet pass. Let's trade Scola for Love :)

    *edit*

    Westbrook with a SICK dribble drive dunk to the basket. I dont use "sick" that much but he displayed impressive quickness and explosion.

    Too bad we didn't make it harder for the Americans. The guys were scared, especially in the 2nd quarter.

    Truth is that we have a bad team (nothing like the legendary '92 Olympics silver medalists). Our coach is mediocre at best, and Ukic is always said to be a great player just because he played in the NBA (so he plays 30 mpg and *****s almost every possession). On the other hand, Popovic, Bogdanovic and Tomic are absolutely great players - and they showed it today.

    In my opinion, USA will have a tough time dealing with well balanced teams. Good for them that most teams play without their biggest stars, so they have a guaranteed medal.

    Yeah, but it's usual for USA, not for the others.
