I just watched the USA men beat Lithuania, a team that previously beat them a week or so ago. I must say, although I've been critical of our BB team throughout these Olympics, they did play a good game, as if they really wanted this win. It seemed to me they finally figured out these international teams are for real. I'm guessing they were even the underdogs in this game. For the first time, I'll give 'em a thumbs-up.

They came out playing hard, with the bench players really contributing. AND they won even though the Lithuanians beat an Olympic record (previously broken just yesterday by I think Italy) with 21 3-point shots! A good game. Way to go, USA.
