Australia vs USA

[Shumway]

Morning gentlemen.

Another huge test for my Aussie Boomers. I certainly don't expect to take out a win, but another chance to see where we are for medal contention.

[Shumway]

So far, we're more physical and looks like we're playing with a bit more intensity. USA just playing catch and shoot.

Durant is 0/5. He's terribad. Warriors made a huge mistake gutting their team for him. :-d

Bogut better than Durant, straight up?

Not in any sense of reality, but the patriotic pride comes out for me this morning.

Aussies are playing extremely well. So much for Thibs' defense! ;-)

Never thought I would see a USA Olympic game where the only reason we won is the play of Carmelo Anthony...

He was fantastic in the 2012 Olympics. Wasn't bad in 2008 either.

He's carved out a very nice Olympic career.

I confess I have not been a die-hard Olympics fan, so I must have missed his good stuff. The times I did watch him he seemed selfish and unreliable. So maybe I need to cut him a break.

But he was very good today.

Melo is a killer Olympic team PF. Nobody can guard him and he is big and athletic enough to guard guys he faces. He has pretty much been a crazy per minute scorer for them at the very least in 2012. I want to say it was the 2008 Olympics that was a breakout effort for him and the following year in the NBA he put it all together. After that he never stayed healthy among other things.

Congrats to the Aussies for putting up a good fight.
