This game is on in a few hours I think.. Or maybe a little bit less... Australia were playing quite poor at the start of the tournament, but they just had a very good with over one of the top teams, Lithuania. And before that we had a decent win over another country which I can't remember who that was..

But next up we've got the team to beat, the USA.... I'm staying up to watch it, as long as Australia can keep in it... I'm betting about a 16 point win to America, but should be good.


Something very interesting I heard during the USA vs Russia game was that in the 4 games that the USA had played already, the outstanding Point Guard (and one of my favourite players) Jason Kidd hadn't made or attempted a single basket... Had not attempted to put up a single shot, or even taken foul shots from the line... I thought that was pretty amazing. But it shows what a valuable player he is from a team perspective to be able to make a big difference in 4 games without even looking at the basket..

Anyway, anyone else going to be watching this game?
