Saturday Morning Primer: U-S-A

(Morning Thunder fans. Thank you for your support of Daily Thunder. Go States.)

Team USA kicks off its quest for gold today at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN Classic (that’s Cox channel 255 in Oklahoma). The U.S. plays Croatia, a team that’s not to be overlooked. And as a primer to get ready for the World Championships, how about a little top five video featuring the top five U.S. dunks according to some YouTube uploader. (EDIT: I had my speakers muted when I picked this video and didn’t hear the accompanying music. So I definitely apologize for the coarse language.)

It seems Tibor has a good half.

Wrong! The scramble actually meant: Injustice. Thanks for playing ;)
I also would have taken: Intolerance

Replay of the game is available on ESPN3.com now. Looking forward to watching it (even though I know what happens).

@Cpt. C-Note
Icebergs. You mean icebergs.

@Cpt. C-Note
If it happens, I blame you - despite the asterisks.

I say bench RW and KD!(cause I'm a Thunder fan that want NO I********)

* you know what I mean ;)

Ha! Kelvin Sampson gets a mention.

@justin
Right. It's probably inaccurate.

Only thing I don't like about Durant right now is his defense has been lacking a bit, but that's nitpicking.

@Greg

Are you using the ESPN boxscore? These boxscores have been erratic in realtime I think Durant has more than 6 boards...

Whats the score. I am stuck at work.

@Jax Raging Bile Duct
6 pts in the 2nd for Croatia is correct. And KD has 9 pts and 6 boards.

Dylan :and once again, KD’s passing has been top notch

It's been good. I like how physical he's been, though. He's forced to play PF and it'll be good for him. I think he's close to a double double already.

I didn't keep track, but I think Croatia just scored 6 points in that quarter.

and once again, KD's passing has been top notch

i think i kind of really like kevin love?

Eric Gordon is outstanding today. 3-3 on 3's.

The Croatian mascot is terrifying.

Kevin Love was just blocked by the rim

Chandler bailed out by a whistle on a westbrook feed.

nice floor-running from westbrook for a rose alley oop dunk.

Those ads on the floor are going to hurt someone. Everyone is slipping on them.

Lots of slipping on this court.

Anonymous :@Floppy Punch!ESPN really half-assed their coverage, not even sending their announcers and putting it on their least popular channel

Yeah I don't understand that. I mean surely there aren't marquee events going on right now on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU. NBAtv would've obviously been better too.

@Greg

Ha! Yep, so far.

Russel had one nice drive for 2 free throws. Billups and Curry keep missing 3 pointers, and Chandler is the biggest liability on the floor.

It would be helpful if they put the clocks on screen.

@Jax Raging Bile Duct
So Westbrook has outshot Curry from beyond the arc up to this point? Couldn't have dreamt that one up.

Russel's first play is a turnover

Curry is now 2 for 12 from 3 in FIBA play

FYI, it's listed under 12pm on ESPN 3

anyone have an online link?

I got a felling that RW and KD play great D and get this FIBA party started right!

"I got a feelin'...that tonight's gonna be good night, that tonight's gonna be a good, good night..."
Time to "Fill up my cup!"
Mozoltov!!!

GO USA!!!
GO THUNDER!!

How can anyone top that dunk by Vince Carter?

And that's why we don't care about international play. So far, the field has advanced enough that we can't play like the Harlem Globetrotters against every team. There are a couple we have to play like we would in a random summer pick up game. Zzzz
