Group B, Day 1: Spain vs. China
The #2 favorites get underway against a team they have beaten handily in the last three Olympics. China's performance a bit of a mystery in the post-Yao era.

The only decent players on Team China are Jianlian Yi and Zhizhi Wang. The rest (yes, including Yue Sun and Wei Liu) can be rendered harmless pretty easily.
I'm more interested in watching Chen Jianghua. Right were I left him in Beijing 2008.
Draft Wishlist:
PG Michael Carter-Williams / 21 yrs. old / 6'5
PF Livio Jean-Charles / 19 yrs. old / 6'9
Sacramento Kings 2013-14: THY KINGDOM COME
HERE WE STAY UNTIL THE COWBELLS COME HOME
Spain sandbags a lot before the knockout stages, but not nearly enough to lose this game. Spain by a lot.
The Rules learned in the Prediction game.
1: Brazil is always disappointing
2: Never dismiss Argentina solely because of age.
3: Never bet against Spain in a knockout game, unless it is against the US.
end of first quarter China17-19 Spain.China commited too many fouls.
go China!!
the referee is too harsh for China.......
FT now Spain 20-3 China...
Refereeo you think Spain need your help to beat China??/Stop your ridiculous performance!
China has played really well, but Spain has just murdered them from three. Spain 53-41

the half time point difference should be in 10 if Yi wasn't in foul trouble.
Why nobody is talking about the unbeleivable protection spain has from the referees?
And that happens in the olympic games..Spain must be the most favored team in the world by the referees much more than the US
And nobody is talking..Again people are watching and they won't tolerate this nonsense for much
Good 1st half for us. This is Europe so we have no choice but to adapt to it. Interesting to see what China could do with foul troubles in the 2nd.
FT now Spain 20-3 China...
Referee
The refs calling to many free-throw fouls against China, some of them pretty arguable... I think this 12 points difference it's, in part, justified by the number of free-throws the two teams had. Besides this, very annoying game!
"See you in another life, Brother"
We played well, no sense in arguing the fouls, we just need to foul the floppers hard, no soft fouls. It's hard to stop Spain's interior scoring, but we can control the passing angles better, they are prone to turnovers that can be exploited.
aim low, score high
Yi taking over including monster jam, lead down to 7.
aim low, score high
All props to China, I can't see them winning but they should certainly be encouraged by the game.
