Insensitive Spanish jokesters 82

The US forced 28 turnovers and had a 24-7 advantage on points off turnovers. With this kind of effort, not to mention an impressive performance on their threes, the defending worlds champs looked like a D-League team.
this was the team that was supposed to beat our ...? they were gonna pack the zone in on us? they were gonna 3-pt shoot us to death? they were gonna pick and roll us?
guess they were playing possum too..
what will the haters have to say now?

i don't like marc gasol any more than his brother...
The USA RULED today. They finally added 3's & FT's to their game, and kept up the defensive pressure for most of the game. Yet, again ... every time our guys took a breath, Spain had good moments.
We simply need to bring (and I'm not a Nolan Richardson fan) 40 MINUTES OF HELL on D, and keep our balance of points off TO's / cashing in on open shots / making our FT's, and this team will dominate in the medal round.
Others have commented that they look a lot "like DUKE" out there -- makes for good film study for our boys in about 10 weeks, HUH ? HAAAAA ! GO DUKE !
Plenty of others can comment more thoroughly on this than I can, but your feet don't have to be "set" at any level of basketball that I know of to draw a foul. It's one of those canards that announcers throw around as if they've a clue what they're talking about.
Anyone else catch the commentator talking about how coach K has pretty much gone to an 8-man rotation after the first 5 minutes, and that's been good for the team? Sounds very familiar except usually that's mentioned as a fault
I'm pissed at Comcast/NBC for not showing this live. Just yesterday, on the online scheulde, it shows "7am PDT", but it didn't start until 10am PDT, and they've updated the schedule. Only at half-time here...
