Beijing Olympics: Men’s Basketball US vs Spain schedule
UPDATE: USA and Spain meets again in the Finals (Click for the schedule)
Wow. The US men’s basketball team was impressive against the silver medalist of 2006 FIBA World Championship, Greece. A bit of payback for beating them on the semifinal round of that tournament. This win means that they are ready and have a strong chance of redeeming the basketball Olympic gold. They gave Team Greece a good whooping as they cruised to a 92-69 victory.

Tomorrow would be an exciting match for Team USA as they go against Spain. If Greece won the silver medal on the 2006 FIBA, Spain won the gold. Both are 3-0 in the preliminaries and the match would probably be a preview of the finals.
Spain has the Gasol brothers who can give USA some matchup trouble with their small lineup. They also have Jose Calderon, a rising point guard in the NBA playing with the Toronto Raptors. Not to mention another guard, Rudy Fernandez who was phenomenal on their first three games. It’s really gonna be a good and exciting game.
So better catch it live tomorrow (Aug. 16) on bTV at 10:15PM (Manila time).
