Olympics : your predictions

[stretch]

I haven't noticed any decline in Calderon's game. He had one of his best seasons playing for Casey.

Damn, Spain is loaded up front. Big loss on Rubio though.

Canadian teams are gonna be a threat in 2-3 years with the lineups of
Kabongo/Joseph/
Wiggins/Pangos
Benett/K.Joseph
T.Thompsons/A.Nicholson
S.Dalembart/J.Anthony

Coach: Steve Nash (when he retires - he will replace Leo Rautins and will let Dalembart play for the National team)

Ibaka is playing for Spain.

Good test for USA against Brazil going on right now; Brazil leading by 10 after first quarter.

[Soft Euro]

Wow, Brazil 12 turnovers in second quarter and only 5 points.

[ReubenJRD]

Lithuania baby! Jonas Valanciunas and Linas Kleiza taking GOLD! LOL.

Okay, seriously now, USA has an easy road IMO. A much better team than the 2008 Redeem Team.

[stretch]

The USA team has proven themselves as vulnerable in their exhibition play. When it gets down to single elimination games a defeat is possible though not likely. Spain vs. USA today at 4:30 on ESPN. It's a warm up but should prove interesting.

[Red and White]

I would really not say that USA is a 100% lock. They have been overall fantastic, but have had flashes of mediocrity. I could see Spain giving them problems.

While I do not think this is the greatest USA team ever ('92 is better for sure), no team has had this many talented guards. Westbrook, Harden, DWill, CP3, Kobe. I really can not think of another team with a guard core like this.

[stretch]

2008 had better guards than this team. Wade and Kobe in their prime plus D Will and CP3.

Anyone got a link to the Lithuanian game? I can't find one.

Anyone got a link to the Lithuanian game? I can't find one.

There is one up now. If someone else is searching, you can find the game here.
