This game is later in the morning so use this game thread. I cry if the game thread doesn't reach 200 posts and nobody wants me to cry.

Spain Roster:

#4 Pau Gasol
#5 Rudy Fernandez
#6 Ricky Rubio
#7 Juan Carlos Navarro
#8 Jose Calderon
#9 Felipe Reyes
#10 Carlos Jimenez
#11 Raul Lopez
#12 Berni Rodriguez
#13 Marc Gasol
#14 Alex Mumbru
#15 Jorge Garbajosa

Coaches: Dirk Bauermann, Hans-Jurgen Gnad, Achim Kuczmann

U.S. Roster:

#4 Carlos Boozer
#5 Jason Kidd
#6 LeBron James
#7 Deron Williams
#8 Redd Whine
#9 Dwyane Wade
#10 Kobe Bryant
#11 Dwight Howard
#12 Chris Bosh
#13 Chris Paul

I never took Spanish but I do know one thing. These Spanish names are much easier to spell than the Greek names.

GO REDD WHINE AND GO USA!!

Kidd and Paul will make this Ricky Rubio kid look like Reece Gaines.

I'm interested to see how Rubio defends against our PGs.

I'd be willing to wager quite a bit that Chris Paul will have no problems whatsoever with Rubio. Williams and Kidd I'm not so sure about.

When Greece trapped Rubio he looked very nervous and turned it over a few times. He's not super athletic, so I could see him struggling against full-court pressure D. Once he gets into a pick/roll situation though he'll be fine.

So it's been almost 11 hours since I made the game thread and this will only be the 12th post. I guess I'm going to cry. :cry:

yeah, sounds like their former colonies latin americans. but the most amazing is that coach Mike Krzyzewski surname has 2 vowels only
