Next time: China/Spain! China's ahead by a lot in the middle of the third.
BERNI is a cutie.
RICKY RUBIO WE'RE BOTH TOO YOUNG TO SETTLE DOWN BUT I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES ANYWAY :D:D:D
^ Ricky picking a rebound from a Chinese player's hands with ease, dribbling it out towards the line, casually dropping the ball into a backwards pass leading to an uncontested dunk by Pau =LUST. I WILL POINT TO THIS AS THE MOMENT I FELL IN LOVE.
China by 7.
Rubio alley-oop to Pau. Down by 5.
Rudy Fernandez (cutie) over Yao. Down by three.
Rudy fouls Wang Zhi Zhi. Makes the first...makes the second.
Awww, Ricky turns it over to Yao.
Wi Yue Wei makes a three, but
RUDY AND 1 with a foul by Yao - he's got four. 4:24 left. Rudy makes it (with a tip-in by Felipe).
RUDY FLIPS IT IN! ONE POINT GAME!
Wang Zhi Zhi hits a three!
China steals. Rudy fouls. Yao comes back in. Pau switches for Marc.
Felipe pulls down the rebound! 2:30!
Time. 2:19.
JUAN CARLOS NAVARRO HITS A THREE IT'S TIED

Wang Zhi Zhi hits a two, 72-70
MARC GASOL FLIPS IT IN 19.7, FADING AWAY, OVER YAO

GASOL AND 1 YAO HAS FOULED OUT
Spain by five. Ricky and Rudy are awesome. Ball knocked out...Spain gets new shotclock.
Backcourt TO. China's got it, down by five, no Yao.
Ricky steals AGAIN! Almost has a fast break, but it's a foul.
Chen Juanghua (cutie) goes to the line. Makes one.
RUBIO TO GASOL HIGH LIGHT REEL OOP SPAIN BY SIX
Again with the Rubio...and AGAIN with the Rubio! Ricky has sticky fingers. One minute left.
Gasol dunk. Spain by eight with forty seconds left.
Ricky and Felipe with the D, Pau and Rudy with the O...Spain wins big in OT, China very bummed.
USA/Angola in an hour fifteen. Until then...GRECO-ROMAN WRESTLING!
They're so little... And their crania are so big. Spenser Mango's a cutie, though. He's up against a Romanian.
They're pushing at and slapping at and grabbing each other's hands. Why is the ref making Spenser get on his hands and knees? The Romanian is seriously cute. Virgil Munteanu? Something like that. Spenser's got the first period of the first match. But not, like, period period...you know what I mean.
What the fuck is going on? Shouldn't this have the easiest rules of any sport? Point to Mango.
Got Manteanu pinned. Hell yeah.
This is the gayest thing I've ever seen, and I love it. Spenser wins.
Spenser's up against a South Korean now. Park Eun Chul? He's way cute. This sport would be better if they were still naked.
Park gets the first match. Oh, man, Spenser got it right in the face, lots of blood.
This sport is wonderful. Park wins, but Mango is still in.
Park takes on a Russki. Much more violent now. Park is wore out, but he gets to top.
Mankiev takes him out of the circle! That's good, right?
Park loses. Means Mango's done too. Awwww. Spenser's still young.
Oooh, an Azerbaijani!
Nyzer Mankiev? Something like that? I'm not even going to try the name of the cat from Azerbaijan. The skin color difference here is not nearly as pretty.
Okay whatever Kayaking. BEN FRAKER IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.
AS IS ANDER ELOSEGUI
AS IS CHRISTOS TSAKIMASKIS
THESE GUYS ARE WASTED IN PADDING AND HELMETS
Anyway anyway anyway. Angola. They lost bad to Germany, remember.
My word that guy's cute. Number 5....um...and 6, too...10, Gomez...TO WIKIPEDIA
5=Armando Costa
6=Carlos Morais
It's only a ten-point lead for USA with about half the second quarter done.
55-37 at the start of the third. All good.
Luis Costa's a cutie, too.
81-53 start of the fourth.
Ohhhh, Candace Parker. Even (appropriately dressed!) Craig Sager can't cramp your style.
Ends. 97-76. That was fun.
I LOVE MY JOB. AND ALSO CAPSLOCK.
