1Q Spain playing awful and Brazil doing his thing.
The corpse of Gasol alone will give Spain some options in offense but that won't be enough at all.

Happy for Brazil, really hoping they make the tourney in their own country. Spain is in trouble now though.
Also, has Nene always been this jacked? His arms are HUGE

Finally getting to watch my first basketball game of the Olympics!
Close game right now, but I expect Lithuania to pull away from Nigeria.

Or Marcelo Huertas will be MVP next season!!!
Seriously Rubio was humilated today. A guard without a 3 is horrible in FIBA basketball.

And yet a starter on an NBA team.
Just goes to show just how different a game rules make. A lot of NBA players look much worse under FIBA rules.

Great game Argentina vs. Croatia.
Impressive Saric with 19 pts (7/12 from 2P and 0/4 from 3P), 10 reb and 7 ast.
Still 35 minutes out of 40 played (34,5 mpg, high minutes from all basketball olympic players at 22 years old).
Imho the low efficiency is caused only by fatigue (main defender and rebounder of Croatia against nba level players (Spain/Argentina)).
If Saric will play 25-30mpg out of 48mins in NBA will be ROY, mark it.
