    Turnovers

    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.

    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 !

    I'm really good at this. I'm picking the US to lose every game from here on out.

    Great performance! And it's super nice listening to a fellow Breen doing the play-by-play.

    wow.
    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...

    I heard rumblings and rumorings by the Weaufxgods that this is not permitted either. They have posted here before and made declarations to that effect so please be very cautious.

    The game was live on the Olympics Basketball HD Channel. It is 754 on DirecTV, but I believe local cable systems have been picking up the feed as well.

    Comcast supposedly added 5 channels for the Olympics, but none of them is the basketball channel.
