    i'm interested to see how these NBA players are going to do trying to pick up full court under coach K. and how well they'll do with ball movement, or if it will resort to isolations...

    arroy is already starting to wear out. i don't think coach k expected teams to break the press like PR did for the first 8 minutes or so -- but the thing to keep in mind is that opposing teams are only going to have 5-7 guys that can play at that pace, and once they start to wear out, the USA's depth is going to crush them. i'm looking forward to a huge second half from the USA's part after watching the first quarter.

    i don't like this whole 'half the team is playing the 1st and 3rd quarters, half is playing the 2nd and 4th' shit though.

    BORRRRINGG. Puerto Rico is such a small "country" too. They dont have a big population to pick from, they seem to be pretty good though with the small talent pool.
