    Pop needs to take the chains off, and tell his to team to go out and have some fun. The USA team looks like their thinking too much. They're over passing, taking the clock down on every possession. These low scores are ridiculous. It looks like 4 corners basketball. I feel like i'm watching an old OSU game coached by Ralph Miller.

    Slovenia: population 2 million. You could fit several of them in New York or LA.

    Luka took 29 freakin' shots. It's hard to get into a rhythm when you're lucking to get 10, spread over 4 qtrs. That a little over 2 per qtr. I'm sorry but Pop needs to open it up. Guys like Campazzo & Scola are getting 16 & 18 shots up. Fournier got 22. TWENTY - TWO! Everyone gets on Dame & Durant. They had 10 & 12 shots respectively. I've seen Dame start slow, and finish with 40 when there ain't chains on him. Team USA is playing the game like it's a preseason game in the NFL. Speed the game up, take more shots, and get in a groove.

    Just feed Durant for the first three quarters and then let Dame have the fourth.

    Best all-round, perhaps. But he still has to catch Oscar Schmidt.

    Were you born when Drazen scored 112 in a game (against a Slovenian team, no less). (Not Olympics, but maybe counts as FIBA?)

    Any excuse to watch Jason Williams highlights! Always my procrastination go-to:

    He's so modest. You gotta love him.
