Anyone got predictions for tomorrow mornings game against Greece? I'm really hating this team's god awful 3-point shooting. They could still pull off the win w/o it, but they're defense better be top notch.

I got USA by 10.

Apparently Greece has a couple of big men who are wanted by NBA clubs but refuse to play in the NBA.

USA should beat them though

Aus vs USA in the women's final??
If that happens, watch out for all the egging from me and I bet ac-n-mike will crack some Aussie jokes lol

Up by 20 going into the 4th. Not much of a game.

 

[Hands]

Yeah they spanked Greece!

They are playing Spain next who beat Germany 72-59.

Should be a cracker of a game.

If USA kills them then the gold medal are their to lose

 

[Spammer]

USA will wind up losing 1 game imho.

 

[kutzy]

I dont think there will be a game within 15 points all Olympics.

 

[Hands]

USA will wind up losing 1 game imho.

Who do you reckon they will lose to and why?
Spain? Argentina?

Which game do you think they will lose?
The gold medal game?

They do seem to have a habit of losing in the semi finals lately

 

[Hands]

USA annihilated Spain 119-82!

Game, set and match, just give them the gold already!

They shot 12/25 treys so they can shoot the ball

Looks like they will be playing my Aussies in the quarters...

China beat Germany 59-55 and the crowd went NUTS because they qualified for the quarters. Imagine how feral the crowd would be if China wins a medal!

 

[Official Aristocrat DJ ??]

The Men waxed Germany 106-57 this morning.

Geeeeez. And I thought Spain and Germany would eb the two toughest for Team USA, which heads into the quarter finals undefeated.

Quarter Finals start On Wed!!!

 

[Hands]

You guys are playing us Aussies in the quarters!!
Bring it on

We had a rotten start, losing our first two games that we should have won. Since then we have comfortably knocked out Russia and steam rolled previously undefeated Lithuania which was SWEET REVENGE since they beat us in 2 bronze medal games

Reports are coming in that Aussie are playing youses without a game plan. They are just watching great underdog olympic footages such as "miracle on ice" and Rocky movies and then playing INSPIRED
Sounds like our coach has it figured out lol

Interesting....

 

[Spammer]

[Zues]

Dude i saw Team USA practice in New York B4 they left for China!!! So cool!! They r so in form. USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

 

[Hands]

WOW! I didn't expect to see anyone support us here

Why are ya cheering for us? Thanks man

 

[Hands]

Zues you are so LUCKY!

Did you ask any of them for autos?

 

[Hands]

*sighs* you guys spanked us but at least we didn't surrender.

Now that Aussie is out of the medals, I am going to cheer for Redeem Team!

Plus turn my attention to the ladies

Aus vs USA in the final... I hope
Lauren Jackson and Penny Taylor are struggling with injuries and USA are cruising at the moment.
