Spain v. Greece

It's about halfway through the Spain v. Greece men's basketball game in the Olympics, and I've made the following quick and simple observations:

- Neither Greece nor Spain have looked impressive scoring a total of 64 points in the first half, and no it's not good defense. Everyone looks confused on offense, and once you slow down Jose Calderon, Spain can't do anything anymore.
- Greece has been overhyped, but Spanoulis still has some good moves. Yes they're a team, but they're not a good team anymore.
- Spain has barely made use of Pau Gasol so far, but Marc Gasol looks huge, and they definitely know how to use their muscle/bulk
- Rudy Fernandez has some skills, man, Portland's gonna be good next year.

- Team USA is favored 32 points over China tomorrow. I'm excited for this game to watch team USA dominate, but more importantly, I'm excited to see the Lakers second round draft pick from last year, newly acquired point guard, Sun Yue who will be playing for China!
