Try to get in before todays game vs Greece at 12 PDT 3 Eastern.

I think they might get run again today.  I heard AI giving some pep talk but who does that punk think he is to give a pep talk after going 1-10 in Game 1.  Listen AI, props for your finals appearance vs the Flamers, you are forever okay for that.

Only because they are in a weiny bracket and only have to go 1-2 to advance to a medal game do i think they will squeek out a bronze.

Is 1-2 all they have to do to get out of this pool?  I know they need finish only 4th out of 6.

Don't forget to factor in this when voting.    :nonono:

AI hurt his thumb so scratch him and his pep talk out.  LOL @ him giving uber props cuz he played the Lakers in the finals

I think the USA team will finish with the Silver medal.....with chocolate under the wrapper

AI hurt his thumb so scratch him and his pep talk out.

Actually, he's playing, scored 9 pts in the first qt (about half from free throws)

think he's 2-4 from the field with a 3 pointer.

I think they will lose the semi final matchup vs either Argentina or Serbia-Montenegro.  Then they will win the bronze medal game.

I just caught the last 9 minutes or so.  Props to Lamar Odom for 1 superb block and a good deflected pass in 2 straight trips down the floor.  Same timeframe on O his jump hook helped Mo also.

Boozer going 1-4 in the last 30 seconds FTs made it interesting for sure.

Some pretty cheesy calls.  That travelling basket by Greece Guard was a howl.
Update I just reviewed it and it might have been an excellent 2 step no travel good basket.  Either way they counted it.

I don't question AIs ability and guts to play while injured.  Just find Mr Come Late for practice then play the sulking victim Mans Out To Get Me role actor a strange speech giver.  Go see Bill Cosby.
