The OFFICIAL OLYMPIC MENS BASKETBALL Thread

especially cutting away to the 50th replays of gold medals and aussies qualifying or a few minutes long montage. Dunno how many times ive seen that poor wieghtlifter thingy (unlucky bugger)

i can understand cutting off during breaks in the game but you end up coming back with 4 - 3 min to go and oh what do you know another break.

agree with the sbs comment, ****ting all over it. They get the dregs 7 doesnt want to broadcast but atleast they do a decent job.

For those people that like a bet...

Australia +31 points v the USA is being offered and I see this as amazing odds.

Im under no illusions - the US team is a beast........ I just think they arent playing as well as people expected. I just wanna see our guys matched up against them - would be so sweet!!

I must be under an illusion then!

I mean 5-0 in pool play, beating Greece, China, Angola and and Germany.

Destroying Greece, and destroying the other best team in the competition (no offense Argentina but you've got nothing on the Gasol Brothers, Navarro, Fernandez, Ricky Rubio and Jose Calderon) by 37 points.

Their winning margin against all teams covering the Olympics so far is 32.5 points.

I think that actually EXCEEDS what a lot of people expected, particularly against Greece and Spain..

but hey, i'm having illusions hehehe

china game is on sbs after spain at 6:45

Are you sure that its being televised at 6:45pm, even though thats when the game starts? My tv guide shows the SBS news runs from 6:30 to 7:30, and then the rest of the China/Lithuania game from 7:30 to 8:30pm.
