Also looks like they weren't interested in playing much defense since Australia shot 48% from the filed and 40% from the 3-pt line.

Yup Kidd was solid esp. defensively! Even blocked a big. He was more outstanding then the other 2 when he played! The game flowed more with Kidd and Paul got blown off the dribble quite a few times.
Carmelo sucks defensively and I just do not like his lazy ass. In fact im not so sure why that many people like him period.

Kidd looks fantastic on D so far against China. He is really moving out there!

LOL
Did the refs really just blow that out of bounds call? the Chinese player comes in and tries to save it and they give it back to China.

This is about what I expected for the start, China being hyped USA being a little jumbled. I think the depth will carry it out and this will start to be pulled away early to middle of the 3rd quarter.

Ridiculous 1-handed alley-oop dunk and-1 by Lebron. Good lord.
*edit* Missed the FT.

12 teams split into 2 groups. Top 4 teams from each group qualify for the knockout round, which is then one-and-done.

LeBron looks like he is out to send a message as a leader for the team, making big plays on both sides of the court.
That 3-ball has really kept China in it. USA better have it's act together defending and shooting it in the later games.

USA will win, but you gotta commend Team China and their fans.

That's like commending an OCD person for being organized.

And Yao is down. That is really really unfortunate. You hate to see a guy get injured in the olympics, no matter what team. I hope he's ok.

25-11 in the third quarter
1. team usa's defense picked up for lots of steals
2. team china's absurd clip at the 3 point line couldn't continue into the second half

I like Michael Redd. I like basketball in HD. I like Yao Ming grabbing his ankle.

Did anyone else notice that back in the beginning when they showed Bush, Kissinger was napping behind him? I can't believe that sob hasn't died yet.
