Wish Coach K would start the second unit. Hope we get to see more of AD as well. Diogu should have a solid game today.

Today's gonna be an aggressive game. It's hard to predict whether USA will win the battle of boards. But I think USA should survive the game. If us Lithuanians can do it, so can USA.

 

[Dtown2]

This has the potential to be uglier than the Tunisia game depending on how Nigeria shoots. Trying to out athlete the US is a recipe for disaster.

USA will take this was easy tonight. Nigeria will give a good account of themselves after their poor showing against Lithuania

If they take this easy, and Nigeria gets on fire, it's not going to be a pretty sight for USA fans. Nigeria is no joke man. Greece learned it the hard way.

I believe like usual with the U.S so far, the game will be some how close in the first half and then the U.S will take care of things in the 3rd quarter...

LOL, really. You compare USA with shitty 2012.Greek team? USA by 35.

Just saying - this team surprised many Euro teams - even Russia. And remember the 2010 Turkey game against Russia?

13-0 run to start the match by USA...I watch the game on eurovisionsports and Kobe is taunting the living shit out of Nigeria - shouting Brick, Short, Rebound before they even shoot the ball

Yeah right U.S are very focused early on in the game and now leading 13-0

At this rate USA is going to score 150 points during this game !!

 

[Nikoo2]

Carmelo going for a rebound: Get out of that shit K-Lo, I got it.

 

[Buzissa2]

Nigeria has to slow down the tempo, otherwise they will be beaten badly.

 

[Dtown2]

Yeah starters clearly got the message after last game, they came out motivated.

 

[JGX2]

Can we break the record of 23 threes against Puerto Rico?

 

[Nikoo2]

OMFG That should be illegal...

 

[Dtown2]

11/14 from three....that's just mean.

 

[JGX2]

Defense needs to be tightened up! We can't give up 100 points to Nigeria!

USA going for 200
