First off this is TiVo alert the game is on at 2:00 AM Sunday morning on ESPN2
Here is a good preview of the Russian team and players to watch including one American. As much as there is all this talk about Spain this team stunned the Spanish team at the Euro championships which were held in Spain by beating them on a great last minute come from behind game.

The game is at 4 pm Sunday afternoon for me so that is 3 am Eastern Standard Time. I'm looking forward to the Olympics and with Beijing being a one hour time difference from Tokyo I should see much prime time coverage.

Does anyone know if any of the team USA games will also be showed at a more reasonable hour for US viewers?

The Russia--USA game will be replayed at 7:00 PM Sunday 8/3, also on ESPN2. As to the games during the Olympics, you'll still have the 12-hour time difference, so live broadcasts will likely begin somewhere between 1:00 AM EDT and 8:00 AM EDT, and probably be replayed.

OK
OK I am impressed I went to the ESPN website and somehow it must talk to my clock so it gave 2:00 AM as the starting time and knew I was on central time. ESPN U is rebroadcasting the games if you get that.
The Road to Redemption is also worth watching on the NBA channel being broadcast and rebroadcast a lot.

halftime update
It's 10:00 in the morning in Bosnia-Herzegovina, but not on my local cable system (surprise!) ...
46-31 USA at the half, with D. Wade leading all scorers with 12 (and 7 rebounds!).

Russia has been successful in slowing the pace but the USA is still up 15. The game has been somewhat sloppy, but I'm expecting a couple of big runs in the 2nd Half.

90-68
USA never pulled away, but we still win by 22. This wasn't a pretty game by any stretch of the imagination, however it was a win.

The WORST of the WORST
That is the "greatest" travesty in the history of not only the Olympic Games, but of SPORTS. The IOC was determined to find a way for the Russians to win, and finally they DID IT. I'm glad our guys refused to accept the medals. Originally Posted by devildeac

Russia did cut the lead to 10 points in the 3rd quarter. Not that the final outcome was ever in doubt. I couldn't believe my eyes when Kobe missed an easy finger roll on a fast break. I thought he shoulda just threw it down. Then there were several alley oops that missed the mark (going for the highlight reel?) And Kirilinko looked almost unstoppable inside for a good stretch there.
Interesting what the announcer was saying about Kidd, that maybe Team USA doesn't want to reveal their whole hand at this time. That, and giving Paul a chance to gain some experience.

I stand corrected - there is no daylight savings time in Japan so I forgot it is currently EDT not EST. Originally Posted by CameronCrazy'11
