Just got in, whoa how GB stay so close? Deng playing well?

Dan Clark with the clutch three.

Deng has played great, brought us back from more than 10 down by doing everything.. But when we get within 3 we just run a horrible play and turn it over. If GB played this well before we might have had a chance to qualify.

Gah! They can't get a foul!

Bad decisions/execution down the stretch from GB, but nice effort.

Deng has had a fantastic second half. He and Freeland have played very well together. Deng is being forced to be the playmaker for the team, so he has had some costly turnovers, which is to be expected.

Spain has looked completely bored and indifferent. I'm not sure why, but Ibaka has hardly played.

What the hell were Great Britain doing in the last 30 seconds? How could you not foul Calderon with 5 seconds left? Ridiculous.

Deng finished with 26/9/8.. His fourth quarter performance was probably the best I've seen from him in years.

deng shouldve sacrificed himself. he didnt want to foul because he wouldve been out of the game.
clark was too slow to foul calderon.

Proud of Deng and the GB team even if we didn't get the upset.. Deng seriously impressive, I hope he gets some attention here after this.

It's fun as a bulls fan to watch Deng create like this, but we really need a solid point guard before GB can really compete at this level.. Just a Hinrich level player would make a huge difference.

37 points in 14:29min is outrageous....

Regardless...

Can someone from the NCAA, no, an American high school... please volunteer and do Nigeria a favor and teach them how to play defense? They have decently skilled players and NBA-level athleticism/size, it's really quite inexcusable to be losing by 70 points....

Jo Jo English · Post #276 » by **Jo Jo English** » Thu Aug 2, 2012 10:52 pm

The US just put up 156 big ones on the board? They won by 83?!?

Wow.

MrSparkle · Post #277 » by **MrSparkle** » Thu Aug 2, 2012 10:56 pm

Nigerian basketball should be put on indefinite hold...

That was incredible to watch. Every shot the US threw up went in.

Post #279 » by **Rerisen** » Thu Aug 2, 2012 10:57 pm

Teams that have a lot of US born players never seem to fare well vs the US. If you play the same style as us, but play it much worse, you are dead.
