At least on that pick, Westbrook didnt see Reyes and ran into him, that was a foul on the USA. Some ther calls have been bad.

Ball don't lie.

And if the refs were fair, the score would be about 30 to 4 right now.

lol @ everyone crying at the refs when at the Olympic Finals refs didnt call a single travelling. It is well known that USA has always been favoured by refs.

I've only remembered Spain making one shot this quarter. Nearly everything else from the free throw line it seems

Did you see that pass from Rubio? Wow.
That and the inbound pass should have been 2 assists.

What's funny is that the Gold game had Lebron/Kobe get into foul trouble early (The only game that was even CLOSE). Don't talk about FIBA refs favoring USA.
