I’ve just lost much respect for Pau Gasol.

maybe the white on white and blue on blue is part of the whole ‘team’ concept. they make it impossible to read what’s on the back because it’s not about the name on the back, but the name on the front.

A nomuskles game blog and the return of the Roundball Rock? It can’t get any better.

Speaking of goosebumps, that’s certainly what I got when I heard the NBA on NBC music…

Great live blog! It was cool to see NBC utilize Tesh’s Roundball Rock.

Speaking of the Olympics, check out this Jones on the NBA post on VC’s dominance in the 2000 Olympics:

As a longtime Kobe fan, it pains me to say it, but I think Lebron is equal to or better than Mamba at this time. The torch has been passed.

Roundball rock did make it into the feed on NBC. Ahh, a little bit of harmonious balance is restored.

Sun Yue showed a little promise. He hit a couple mid range J (3 pters in FIBA) and showed some athleticism bu stuffing Howard. That was pretty awesome, you won’t see anyone do that very often.

Yao looks like he is trying to get back into shape. Maybe Yao playing in the Olympics will be good for Houston, because he will be able to play himself back into shape.

China played hard but they are not need enough to keep up with the USA.

James is a freak of nature. He was made by Nike. Thats the only explanation for someone to have that combination of speed, size, strength and ball handling ability. When he is in the open court there is no stopping him, he is just too strong. He was pretty impressive tonight.

Kobe looked a little shaky. Missed a lot of outside shots. And he gambled a lot on D. Maybe thats because he didn’t have a great player to guard.

Bosh looked good fighting for rebounds on the inside.
