No-one watching this? Surprised there haven't been any thread about the men's games at least.

GB women are having a fantastic game against Canada. Have been a few points behind (but not much) all game, and have just snuck a lead with 5 mins left in the 4th.

Weebull · 30 Jul 2012 at 21:27

Canada pull it back to 61-61, 4:00 left. Eep.

Weebull · 30 Jul 2012 at 21:37

I jinxed them. From 61-57 up they lose 65-73.

Saw GB v Russia and Argentina v Lithuania yesterday which was good, put a couple of pictures in the Image thread.

It's all about Team USA in the mens, the dream team with Kobe and LeBron the 2 major stars....can't wait to see them play.

Watched the GB vs Canada game. Tickets to the semis still available but only £85+ but can't justify it. Would definitely have gone earlier games had I know the schedule.

Did you not watch them on Sunday against France? They were fantastic.

USA up against Tunisia on channel 12 now. :cool:

Tunisia giving the USA a good game so far. It looks like the Americans can't be bothered.

Weebull · 31 Jul 2012 at 22:36

Yeah, very slow start, no-one looked interested.

They're awake now though. From 12-15 down to 26-15.

explicit4u · 31 Jul 2012 at 22:42

29-23 to the USA now, decent game

Weebull · 31 Jul 2012 at 22:43

DUNK!

LoopyOrc · 31 Jul 2012 at 22:56

Durant is a ****ing animal

Weebull · 31 Jul 2012 at 23:16

They're a bit rampant now. 55-33. Just taking Tunisia apart.

Nice bit of airtime there for Nike

GB lost to Spain

but only by 1 point which is amazing considering that Spain are number 2 in the world.

Skeeter · 2 Aug 2012 at 21:58

You just watched that on BBC too?

Epic final quarter for GB though.

Aesir · 2 Aug 2012 at 22:04

They played great towards the end made some really gutsy plays. It does seem like the problems start when they play safe and just let the NBA guy do everything, which doesn't always work as he's good but he can't beat the world alone

Missed the GB v Spain game, home in time for USA to annihilate Nigeria.
