????????????
I am talking about fouls, not rule differences between the NBA and FIBA. Its just ugly basketball and the refs not letting them play.

They are being a little strict, but I prefer that to letting calls go just to let the game flow. Games like these are to be expected for the 1st outing of the tournament.

Solid second quarter from US putting up 30 points!

Refs rarely let players "play" in europe. A foul is a foul.

Pretty standard win for US.

USA!!!
Real nice play from pretty much everyone today. Looking forward to the big games against Argentina, Spain and Brazil depending how the brackets turn up.
Group B is pretty stacked though I have to admit.

Damn China, not a bad quarter. Not a bad quarter at all.

I'm honestly surprised at the comments from Europeans in this thread. We Americans keep getting bashed in the head by commentators and analysts about how FIBA basketball is much more physical than NBA basketball. The USA-France and Spain-China games today had a lot of ticky-tack fouls.
And lol at the refs missing Ibaka's blatant travel.
|
That travel was one of the most egregious travels not-called I have ever seen lol.
|
ROFL, he jumped and landed with full possession, obviously not a jumpball, and the refs just say PLAY ON. Please dead any notion of FIBA refs being better than NBA. Atrocious.
|
I don't remember any Chinese player being close to him. He squared up, jumped up, let go off the ball, got it back, then shot it. He was laughing at the missed call because he couldn't believe it.
The Gasol tandem wasn't that effective this game. Spain made both their 2nd and 4th quarter runs with Ibaka on the court.

The 2 gasol brothers have never been really great playing at the same time to me, somehow they lack some synergy because they play similar in many things. I always like it better when they can rotate pau-marc-ibaka
