the China/U.S. game ....though the U.S. will likely DESTROY THEM, will be incredible to watch... YAO is a GOLDEN GOD there and the crowd is going to be AMAZING!

oriolesfan · 08-10-2008, 08:51 AM

the us will lose one i think

Zues · 08-10-2008, 09:58 AM

hey what date does the China vs US game start and what time im also guessing NBC...

**GotGibson?** · 08-10-2008, 11:58 AM

USA beats China, 101-70.

**Hands** · 08-11-2008, 03:08 AM

China gave USA a good game for 5 mins lol

They actually led 18-15 or something before USA stopped playing with them

Lithuania beat Argentina 79-75. Some commentators are calling it an upset but come on dudes... it is the Olympics and Lithuania aren't no easybeats.

They have actually won a couple of Olympic medals...
I know that cos they have beaten us Aussies in the bronze playoff

Spain steamrolled Greece 81-66.

Zues · 08-11-2008, 11:28 PM

when is the next usa bball game and against who what time and what date

The US - China game looks like an exhibition game. It was so entertaining with all the dunks from the US team.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was the most watched basketball game in history!

**Hands** · 08-12-2008, 03:04 AM

Yeah that is what they are saying.... most watched basketball game in history!

Zues - the info I am getting is that USA are playing Angola on Tuesday at 8am ET.

China vs Spain tonight!! Yao vs Gasol.. a nice match up

**Hands** · 08-13-2008, 01:39 AM

China vs Spain was a RIPPER!

Gasol scored 29pts as Spain beat China in OVERTIME!

China actually led by 14 at 3/4 quarter time but blew it.

USA will have to be considered nearly unbeatable now since they walloped China and Spain are the current World Champs!

As safe as you like, USA beat Angola today 97-76.

Follwing on from another post I made... I would bet my grandma that USA wins gold now lol
Would anyone else do the same?

Zues · 08-13-2008, 08:58 AM

is there a game tonight? lol i dont want to keep to asking like how can i find out when the games are!!! also USA WINS GOLD!!!!
