According to the Houston Chronicle, "the United States was able to shake off a slow start to eventually pull away in the second half for a 111-100 win over Puerto Rico in the opening game of the World Basketball Championship on Saturday." Anyone see the game? How did we look? That close score doesn't exactly inspire confidence, you know...

I only caught the ESPN highlights...who is the American kid that blocked the shot with his elbow?...the guy has major ups...that kid Arroyo (he is on the OrRlando Magic now) got 23 for Puerto Rico...maybe he could do that here.

I saw one possession of the USA team in which LeBron James got it, dribbled around and then took a terrible three-point shot which barely reached the rim.

I hope Coach K is teaching them better than that.
