Team USA men's team play against France today at 9:30 am. I think the game is on NBC Sports Network.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

I'll stick my neck out & say that the USA-France game will be a close game for Team USA.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Also,I think that Tyson Chandler is a better fit at center than Dwight Howard. While it would have been nice if Andrew Bynum or Blake Griffin was also on the team,but the team as it is is just fine.

Or maybe not....But I don't think that Team USA should go to sleep on Tunisia or Nigeria(just kidding).

Lol - but one of our ISURedbirds, Champ Oguchi is on Team Nigeria. . So I am rooting for them. Can't stand LeTurd even if he is representing the USA.

I really see Spain being the US's only competition this year.

If they had Rubio, I think they would have an even better chance. The US doesn't have a good distributing point guard, these guys are shoot first. Right now LJ is their best passer they have because the NBA's best passing point guards are black balled or Canadian.

I actually like this Olympic's Team USA men's basketball team more than the 2008 one.

Far too much preoccupied watching beach volleyball to worry about men's basketball.

Lithuania shocking Team USA men's basketball team right now.

Lithuania shocking Team USA men's basketball team right now.

Not really, they always seem to play the U.S. pretty close.

Maybe team USA should have saved some of the points they scored against Nigeria for today's game. I also expected Lithuania to be a tough opponent for team USA.

Argentina is giving the US team all they can handle at halftime.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Argentina giving Team USA fits,but that was to be expected. If Team USA loses against Argentina,I seriously doubt that all the players who couldn't be on the team because of injuries(Rose,Howard,Bosh,Wade,Blake) would have made a difference if they were healthy & on the team. The players on the team NOW are good enough for another Gold Medal. Team shooting for USA is bad in that they seem to miss(& go into long stretches doing so) as much,if not more,than they make baskets.

Team USA rolls on to a 25-point victory in the 2nd half...

I thought we were going to see a fight near the end of the 3rd quarter when Carmelo got a low blow.
