what kind of moronic question is that?

regardless of the fact that there is no way china wouldn't be interested in it (who was the flag holder and probably the nation's most well-known and loved athlete?) the statement would be "obviously no one is interested in it" and the informal question format would be "no one is interested?"

^ sad? Well actually its the lowest difference in score between the two team I believe. Lets face it, the US team is playing much more cohesively than that last >ahem< "dream team" and it is essentially an all-start team so teams such as China, despite having a couple stars, really are going to have problems playing them. So I would disagree...not sad at all, it was a pretty damned good effort onthe China team's part...though they did make lots of mistakes that allowed the US to whoop their butts

Would that be the Athens, GA or Chicago, IL style 30 m women's air pistol? Just checking, because there's no way I'm getting out of bed to watch Chicago style.

Mission Impossible.
the results is 101 vs 70, live on cctv-2 at 10pm 10th Aug 2008.
USA didn't play well in the beginning while China Hooped in several 3 points continually. But this USA team are good at both offensive play and defensive..... If they give a little pressure to China's guard to pass the basket,there will be lots ridicucous mistake/turnovers

So far, so good, as we boast the OG spirit WHILE we are competing.and we did try our best and show our best.

We know China is a great team NOW with several guys play/will play in NBA.
But The world basketbal level reach a new high.
while we are making progresses to get our dream team,
the other teams do the same thing.
and Obviously Only USA is the real dream team of basketball.

It is a team game,argentina/spain/greek,they HAVE their Traditional
to play as a team to make some trouble for usa if usa wanna cross on them to the final victory.......


China still want to Retain its best standing of NO 8
IF they can beat Angola y Russia and get advance from Group B..

Deron Williams is an excellet player!
The rocket has been defeated twice in the past two seasons by jazz in the NBA playoff games. Hmmm, I wish Rockets can beat Jazz anytime anywhere in the following season.

hi5....Do you know anything about the game.

Until China can develop a a couple of world class point guards...something they clearly lack based on the game versus the US...they will always be a second rate global team.

Yao Ming had a good game. 13/13. But without some guards to control the floor....hopeless.

Also not a big fan of the game but enjoyed it a lot. The athleticism of the US team is really something to see. China is a reasonable team but the quickness of that US team is amazing.
