Fantastic start by the Boomers in the 2nd half, got the margin back to 5.
Unfortunately more terrible turnovers and the margin back to 14

3/4 Time
USA 84-70
Good quarter by the Boomers

Last quarter was showtime!

Still, a pretty good tournament.

Some size in the front court would be nice...

And just think what would of happen if the USA sent there best team over

Bogut would have been handy.

kickinit... yep if they had Dwight Howard things could get even uglier.

Also chuck in d rose and wade and things would be very ugly

Batum doesn't like floppers.



After the game, Batum told reporters: "I wanted to give him a good reason to flop."

Have to agree very good game, not a massive basketball fan either

Strong start by Spain early on in the Gold Medal match, but the US then went bang* and established a significant early lead.
US shooting at 70% for 3 pointers.
Spain started with zone defence, but have changed to man on man.

Qtr time

US 35
Spain 27

Spain up 42-41 at 6:38 in the 2nd

Go Espana!

Gasol on 4 fouls

Just wait for the Lebron or Kobe show to start

Foul city that quarter.
Good fightback by Spain though.
Can they win? Still seems unlikely even though they are only 1 point down at half time.
Spain need to improve their defensive rebounding.
Want to stay up and watch, but work today

This Spain must of taken acting class before the Olympics all they do is flop and to make it worst they get the fouls

Must be working ... Espana only down by 1 at the end of the 3rd.

I wonder how the mother of the Gasols is fairing ... pumping out two 7 footers?

Anyway, USA up 97-91 with 3:20 left in the match.

USA 102-93 with 1:52 on the clock.

Another gold but the Spaniards have made them work for it.

USA win 107-100

Why is their coach celebrating? Humphrey B Bear could have coached this team.

Because he just won a gold medal without USA best team, also not to bad for a college coach
