Bron misses a layup, follows his own shot.

Good anticipation by Bron, steals it and makes a layup on his 2nd attempt

we're seeing a lot of flopping

LDR · by **LDR** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:41 am

Michael Redd can't run the pick and roll. Just stop.

Come on CP3, you make a great defensive play like that and then let the ball slip through your fingers on offense.

JSM · by **JSM** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:42 am

Bron just grabbed it right out of his hands.

The whole break away foul mentality by these Euro teams is annoying.

LDR · by **LDR** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:42 am

Bron just RIPS the ball away from a Turkish player. Intentional foul.
Interesting fact; In 2010 FIBA will go to a rectangle paint.

Kobe needs to make the perimeter shot.. he and Redd.

LDR · by **LDR** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:43 am

Kobe misses another three. Lack of shot attempts is affecting him. Kobe sick pass to Bron with a sick finish.

JSM · by **JSM** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:43 am

Fast break, Kobe lobs it up for Bron's monster dunk

LDR · by **LDR** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:44 am

Dwight Howard moves everybody out of the way.

JSM · by **JSM** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:44 am

How did Dwight pull that one off. Just rose up and dunked on the entire Turkish team.

I'm seriously considering muting the game at this point.

I was thinking of doing the same thing.

Kobe to Lebron, what a finish :jam2:

I would but I want to hear the crowd's reactions.

LDR · by **LDR** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:47 am

Wade, Howard, James, Kobe, and Paul on the court. Turks with only 6 points in the second quarter, the annoying commenter says.

JSM · by **JSM** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:47 am

Paul is hella quick.

54-37 Halftime.

LDR · by **LDR** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:48 am

Paul with an easy layup to end the half. Score is 54-37 at the half. I'm gonna go eat.

Anywhere I can follow online (not steaming, can't do that at work)?

JSM, do you liveblog for Laker games too?

JSM · by **JSM** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:49 am

The good: Team USA's play on the break
The bad: defense for the first 15 minutes or so
The ugly: our halfcourt game
