He has delayed it until after the olympics. Bulls are pissed about it but he was determined to play for GB after they took him and his family in as refugees when he was a child

6) Tunisia


Tunisias basketball team is in the olympics, but they only have 3 active users on the worlds largest online basketball game! Thats a shame! :(

USA is definitely the favourite, but not as outright as americans would like and I would not be surprised in the least if they got beat. I would probably think that Argentina or Lithuania would beat them. However Spain could pound them down low.

Spain just lost to USA 100-78
We've seen how soft Pau can be, especially in his earlier career.

So Australia beating France doesn't matter then, especially after losing to everyone else. Except for a Greek and I think Chinese team we played over here.

Bring on missing the finals yet again :D

Do you know why Marc Gasol didn't play? Is he out for Olympics?

Gasol had a shoulder injury if I'm not mistaken. He did warm up, this injury is not serious. He was given time to rest his injury and it was also a good opportunity for Spain to "hide" a part of their game obviously.

Notice that Ibaka didn't play much and was extremely good during his court time. Juanca "el pistolero" Navarro played like a rotting shrimp. Don't get it wrong, this guy rocks, it was just a bad night.

On the other hand, USA played their best line up. Also remember that they lost the first quarter when Spain was playing their not even best line up.

USA is in trouble!!!

kobe and durant needs to take less threes and give it to Lebron. the zone is forcing too many threes from the USA

you usually break down zone defense with a good low post game (inside-out) which they dont have. Driving against zone defense is not very efficient (although I'm convinced LBJ can make it efficient). USA will take a lot of threes and they'd better make them if they want to win versus Spain or Russia!
