Anywhere to watch archived pregames online? I've looked everywhere and tried everything, its insane how I can't find anything.

China, Greece, Spain will be our most difficult opponents. Germany is pretty good but I do not know a thing about Angola.

tjm384 is the name of the station U.S.A.?

on a side note: What would be the reaction if we went 5-0 in round 1? Anyone on here be surprised?

I noticed that Brighthouse has added a few channels of HD Olympic channels. One for just basketball, one for just soccer, one in Chinese and one in Korean.

According to all the schedules, USA women vs Czech was on USA TV at 6:00 am. I woke up early, so I turned on the TV. Soccer was on. When that finished, ~ 7:00 they went to beach volleyball.

I hope that's not an indication of how useful these schedules are.

The sad thing about this is that i actually went to the NBC website the other day and i could not find a schedule that made sense. They seem unprepared.

Brighthouse has an all-basketball HD channel. I'm watching the USA women now on that. Nice, because I don't have USA channel in HD.

Dwight couldn't hit anything but dunks against China. Everything else was getting blocked. Please someone teach this kid how to pump fake. I could teach my grandma how to freaking pump fake in a 5 minute session. Dwight hasn't learnt it in 4 seasons of NBA action. Somebody whisper the phrase in his ear or something. I feel like I've been bagging Dwight all offseason and I feel bad about it, but damn I want to see some improvement.

In Dwights defense, he had like 3 guys draped over him when he had the ball.

Anyone have a link to a site which could show where the other games are being streamed? I think its bs that NBC has the so-called rights yet shows on tape delay what they want to show an and they actually won't let some streaming sites be used from the US. The one site I did find will only work if it detects your ip address to be in Europe?
