    Did we start playing "I win." Or what happened?

    What can I say--they proved me wrong. Let's see if they can finish this off and earn the matchup with France

    Honestly there’s just an insane disparity between the starters and the bench for USA. Starters came out strong to start 4th and haven’t missed much of anything in this quarter.

    I really wonder if Serbia is going to have any emotional interest in the Bronze medal game, or if they'll just be too deflated after this collapse.

    I still don't understand why they stuck with Booker throughout the 4th, but it worked, so I guess there's no reason to complain.

    I have a feeling France is in for some world class ass whoopin'

    The US is going to be ready after this game and all the old heads want to show Wemby he has a lot to go still.

    They played best down the stretch when they attacked the basket.

    I don't see that at all? They played a great game against the very best assembled team the world has to offer. Go get that Bronze and be happy. Something tells me France will not bring game that good.

    I was thinking about that same thing, but for USA when I thought they would lose.

    That second half was as good as the first half was bad.

    Wow!

    I don’t think there is any way that the USA would have not got 110% for bronze.

    If they didn’t medal they would be tarred and feathered
