Quick question: how close to NBA do you think the Olympic competition is this year? It's definitely a cut above Summer League (the reffing is more consistent as well), but is it comparable to a couple bad teams in the NBA you think? I mean, outside of the US I mean. Does the Spain roster have a shot against the Knicks, for instance, or the Spurs?

Just trying to project Shved a little bit. Obviously the USA is so stacked that it's useless using them as a measuring stick.

I'd say yes, because the competition is solid.

Spain could beat a bunch of NBA teams, I bet.

And Summer League... that's by far the worst competition for players and it's not even close. D-League is much better than Summer League.

Spain barely beat Britain today. Most vulnerable I have ever seen them. Rubio's injury may hurt them more than people expected...Still should take home the silver though... I wouldn't be surprised to see Russia medal at all..They play some good team ball

It's because JC Navarro is out and Marc Gasol is playing injured.

Yep. And obviously missing Ricky as well. The Wolves sucked total balls last year when we were missing our best guys at the end of the season.

Caught the 4th quarter of the game. Man, those were some horrible TOs by Shved and he was getting killed on pick and rolls. That was the reason Brazil got back into. But, I like how clutch the kid is. The cross over and cold blooded 3 on Nene was sweet. The play before where he drove in, missed the shot, and missed the free throws was nice too. He didn't get any points but the move and look was nice.

Instead of sticking in the pack the whole race, why doesn't somebody just run ahead right away? That way they wouldn't have to fight with the other people.
