REDEEMED !

 

redeemed. team.

that was probably the best game i have seen in a looooooonnnnnnggggg time. and as im writing this, the team is steppin up getting their medals!!! the second half was UNBELIEVABLE! my boy kobe bryant did his thing, the game was getting so close, up by only 5 points with a rushing spain team, kobe hits a 3 pointer and gets fouled to get the team up by 9. dwayne was BIG in the first half, went 7 for 7 in his big stretch. 

im not gonna front but spain was good. my boy pau played! and his little brother was good too. fernandez was hitting 3′s, navarro was getting inside at will, rubio was good for 17. that team was good. im just super happy that team usa won. this was the feeling i was supposed to have with the lakers, and it all came out. 

the last 2 minutes of the game were so good. and i wouldnt have it any other way. with all the stuff that the team has gone through for 4 years and with all the blowouts that have been going on, this close and tight match is what i have been waiting to see. team usa, is legit. they overcame a 5 point deficit, broke the zone defenses, played their own defense, and took their shots. you guys must watch that game, i believe usa channel will replay it tomorrow TWICE. it should go down as a classic, and hopefully espn thinks that way too.

but like i said, that game was unbelievable. 

 

i can breathe again.

the early olympic edition.

 

nasty nastia. the white mamba.

 

 

normally i would even think about waking up at 5 am for some basketball, but with the really bad broadcast times of the games and me with no tivo, i wanted to watch it this time. kinda sad that i don’t have tivo in this hi-tech digital world but oh well, it just shows the love i have for basketball. 

i wanted to watch this game for the mere fact that australia was probably the toughest opponent for the usa. and after watching the first quarter, you could see why they are. it was scary watching, they couldn’t hit any free throws  and were struggling hitting at a 40% clip. and australia was draining their 3 pointers. they got up by 9 but only led the first quarter by a single point. it was too close for my own good. 

the second quarter was a lot better for the team. they went small against the big lineup of the australians and started to run. though it did get close again with good play from patrick mills, usa started to play again. they still could be playing better defense. with them starting to pull away up by 9, daron williams hits a buzzer beater 3 pointer to end the half to give us breathing room up by 12. 

and now, in the 3rd quarter, they truly have pulled away. its a 26 point game. and im sure they will win now, not unless they let that lead go, which i hope does not happen. this won’t be my last early ass blog, team usa still has 2 more games, which i doubt will get a primetime slot. anyways, im going to enjoy watching the rest of the game now. cue marvin gaye.
