Random Olympics draft. All us pervs have had 10 days of watching to find our favorite lady competitors. Who are you claiming? Gonna have to do some research to see if anyone beats the girl I have in mind.

Serbia is probably the most well-rounded team in the competition. I think they could avoid being blown out by the US just by having average performances due to the strength of their depth alone...

They should be a definite harder challenge than Spain was, but in order to win, they'll need to handily win the battle of the bigs. Jokic/Rad need to out-rebound DJ/Cuz, stop those DJ lobs, and score their own buckets in the post. If they can do those things, they have a shot.

That said, I think their only legitimate chance to win the game is if they get DJ in foul trouble early. Coach K has seemed to finally realize DJ is more important in these games than Cuz, so I'm gonna predict a 5-point US win.

Also in other Olympics news, Ryan Lochte wins Gold in dbaggery after Hope Solo was leading for much of the race.
On October 31, 2009, against the Kings, a bat descended onto the court causing a stoppage of play. As the bat flew past, Ginóbili swatted the bat to the ground with his hand. He then carried the creature off the court, earning the applause of the crowd.

fantastic scouting and adjustment by Serbia. Left Ingles open daring him to shoot, as he is the classic Phil Jackson "sometimes shooter", and when dared to shoot he misses. Then just pressured the crap out of Bogut, Mills and Delly, totally disrupting the offence.

Teodosic was just incredible what a game.

A bit of a shame that the Aussies will probably end up 4th again. Would be the 3rd fourth place for the Aussies, wish they could win a medal to separate them from our previous sides, as they have been the best performing team we've ever sent.

One of the most exciting games I've ever seen decided by a horrible ref call.

Just terrible

Man, so sorry Diop. Hate to see such an amazing game be ruined by a terrible call at the end. Mills did everything right on that defensive play.

Also consider Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson if we're talking reporters
