Am fascinated to see how this USA team plays. Stacked with stars, more so since the Dream Team, but I’ve always maintained that they would rather look good losing than get down in the trenches.

No.

Still hasnt been cleared by FIBA to play for them, but hoping for a ruling this week.

The blind turn by Daniels

Dante Exum has apparently dislocated a finger, may miss our opening game, may even be replaced if it’s real bad.

This sucks.

Not entirely true and perhaps a bit of a stereotype one might say.

Every time I see this, what was Wemby doing? He is a million feet tall and right there next to the play. Daniels didn't even get the scoop up that quickly.

Perhaps. Stereotypes usually have a portion of truth behind them. They can buckle down late in matches if necessary, usually on the back of someone like LeBron. But they do tend to go into Globetrotter mode when those stars get together. I'm not sure it's deliberate, maybe subconsciously they're probably trying to impress each other. Time will tell.

The draw for both the men's and women's tournaments have been added to the OP, and will appear in the first post on each page of this thread.

Expand either the men's or women's section - or both - according to whichever you're interested in looking at.

Oh damn. I’m going to have to pass on watching the eagles get spanked in the derby and watch the boomers instead. What a shame…

Thats awesome, I'd assumed they'd all be in the middle of the night like the warm-up games.

Now, how to watch? Do we have to make do with chopped up dregs that 9s tv channels will no doubt serve up, or will Stan be doing on-demand full games?
