I'm glad because that's the only one I might have a chance at watching tomorrow!

Anybody know what channel these are coming on?

MSNBC and the Olympic Basketball Channel if your provider has it. I know DirecTV does.

I think France will win, but in a tight one.

USA will roll. But China has a couple of interesting prospects.

Serbia should also win as well. Venezuela is the only team in the tournament without a current or former NBA player.

If you are interested, I wrote and Olympics Preview from an NBA POV for RealGM:

Thanks. Looks like Time Warner does also for those of you with time warner

USA - China and Serbia - Venezuela should be a massacre. France - Australia should be fun, France looked vulnerable so far.

France still looking as terrible as they did in their exhibition games. Australia playing with a lot of heart.

Baynes looking like the white Shaq

Man Baynes is killing us. France is still asleep.

That hair, Onion Baynes

Parker is taking over

First half was finished in about 40 minutes real time. It's one of the best things about watching euro ball.

Yes, thats why I genuinely enjoy Euroleague and FIBA more than the NBA, NBA timeouts are so damn long, more stoppage as well.

France just looks pathetic on defense.

France don't defend back door cuts whatsoever.

Team with Heurtel, DeColo and Parker only has 9 assists o far...

Australia are pretty stacked themselves. I had them beating France today.

28 FG made, 23 assists for Australia

France getting done back door more times than Gianna Michaels.
