I'm no expert on basketball, but the USA did seem to have more dimensions than the Chinese, who either relied on Yao or went for three-pointers, and didn't cover the breaks when the Americans came back at them.

I did like the dunk I think Lebron James did in the first or second quarter where he slammed the ball through the hoop, hung from it and kicked the ball as it fell.

i watched some of it live - on BBC interactive

 

[stavros]

It must have been around or gone midnight in Beijing, but I presume they scheduled it for then to serve the European and North American viewers. I imagine they'll do the same with the baseball too.

China is more capitalist than the west...

[Melinda]

Yeh, am watching it atm for some reason.*wonders what else in the olympics is worth watchin*

I know! All the good stuff is done for the day

Ive cycled through the diddy weightlifting and the badminton.

I may atually have to do some work! ;D

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Fuck the USA

Decided to go with badminton.

 

[stavros]

Chris Paul, playing for the USA yesterday, is "only" 6ft. The commentators also described Carmello Anthony as a "relatively small" 6ft9in.

I'd be a great basketball player if I was half a metre taller (I'm 5ft8in).

 

[Melinda]

I loved watching the giant Chinese guys!


I have a confession; when I turned over to watch the women's game I just assumed China were in red.
So Im watching the 'Americans' in white thinking, 'Cool! they have massively tall Asian girls on the team'.

 

[Lisarocket]

Watched it last night. Really exciting match. Yao Ming is Huuuuuuggee

Wanted China to win too. (sorry DC)

 

[DriveWRC]

America won in a blow out, haters.
