    Seriously? Michael Jackson is from Gary Indiana?

    When I drove through it in 2001, it was mostly a ghost town with half the tall buildings downtown boarded up.

    Lots of Blazer connections in the Spain Nigeria game (including the name Aminu):
    Rudy, Sergio, and also Ike Diogu and Ibekwe, who was on our Summer League team possibly more than once.

    I don't know why Claver keeps showing up to national team duty. They NEVER play him.

    Llull is such a scrub. They should keep HIM glued to the bench.

    Spain's best players are all old. Croatia is going to be killing them for years to come.

    US outscored Serbia 9-0 to start the game, but they've scored the same number of points after that, and Serbia is only down by 9 at halftime. Raduljica has played really well. He's like a Serbian Chris Kaman.

    This team is an embarrassment.

    Draymond Green has been pretty much a non-entity. Actually, none of the Warriors has stood out.

    If I were coach K I'd make the team watch D2: The Mighty Ducks.

    That'd get them to play as a team, if it can't... Nothing will be able to.

    Serbia choked that wide open 3.

    The 2004 team could probably beat this team.

    THEY HAD A SHOT! THEY COULD'VE TIED IT! 94-91 is the final score.

    The US was up 18 at one point.

    How many quarters has the US team lost already? I think they even tied one with Venezuela.

    It's kind of a shame neither Spain nor France looks particularly strong this year. The US may have seen the best team already in Australia.
