Gold Medal Game Spain vs USA 10AM Sunday - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

I was expecting this game to start at either Noon or 4PM and never checked the listings until now. It should be a good game and Spain can obviously win. It would not be a shock if we won big.

Apparently Westbrook is expected to play in this game in spite of a mild ankle sprain. I would not expect to see a ton of him though.

Oh no, the US depth is shattered.

Calderon gets the unsportsmanlike on Durant...**** Kobe either stay close to Navarro or sit the hell down

**Porn Player** · 08-12-2012, 07:22 AM

Williams with a nice dish.

Close game so far... really some irritating personalities on that Spanish team... a cheap shot here and there, lots of whining.

Also... Kobe Bryant really doesn't seem to do much for this team other than slow the offense down looking for his own shot.

It's all part of the reason they're in this game.

Marc Gasol is lucky that ref did not T him up....Damn it was 4 too. He could have been DQ'ed if that ref had taken offense

**Jamel Irief** · 08-12-2012, 07:44 AM

This is going to be a great second half.

Now Marc has 4 fouls...

**Jamel Irief** · 08-12-2012, 07:50 AM

La bomba is killing it. He's got swag against the US.

**Diable** · 08-12-2012, 07:54 AM

Damn that was not a foul on Melo and that's the second time they called that exact call. He had position and the Spanish player was on his back. Is he supposed to just let him Ibaka climb over him?

**Porn Player** · 08-12-2012, 07:55 AM

It feels like the US have just started to let Spain get under their skin.

He was clearly using his left arm to hook and hold Ibaka.

Ibaka doesn't need to climb over Melo.

Unsportsmanlike call because Fernandez flopped...geesh

**Wade County** · 08-12-2012, 07:59 AM

God I hate Rudy Fernandez. He is unwatchable.

1st quarter was great, this 2nd quarter has been an over officiated mess.
