It's awesome they have Doug Collins announcing, as he's able to provide great insight based on seeing these players against the 76ers last year.

Does anyone know where I can stream olympics for free? This is not for me but rather for a Tv-less friend.

Saw Tony Parker blow right by US defenders a couple times today. That doesn't happen if the '92 team has Pippen or Jordan guarding him.

Tony Parker is also far better than anyone the 92 team faced.

Far better than Drazen Petrovic? Not a chance.

NBC is streaming everything on their site if you sign up.

Parker was 2nd team All NBA this season. Not a chance is a ridiculously false statement, but thanks for being over dramatic.

Right, but Tony Parker isn't any better than the best NBA guards from the 90s and Jordan/Pippen shut all them down.

 

My point is that defense is where the '92 team owns the '12 team.

Phelps gives the US .76 lead in relay and Lochte cant hold onto it.

I agree, but I was just making the easy counter point there. The level of competition is what makes it tougher to judge.

U.S. Men's swimming has been disappointing thus far.

I love watching Rogers and Dalhausser.

Hope Solo's mouth overuns her ass again!

Why does NBC tell you the results of events they haven't aired yet that night? Kind of defeats the purpose of putting things in prime time so people can watch. It's one thing if you go to the website or look elsewhere and find it, but to say it on the same network it's on later that night?

They are great. Teams really need to figure out that they should be serving to Dalhauser though.

Not from what I can tell. Pretty sure you have to a cable plan, which I do not. f***ing Blows. I'd pay to be able to stream it.

Oh yeah, those dudes are awesome.

World and European champion Spain is already eliminated from the soccer tournament after losing their first two games.

Men's Olympic soccer is under-23 teams, with 3 older exceptions. Spain losing to Honduras is a huge upset, but it's not the World/Euro champion team, it's mostly different players.

 

The tourney format sucks too. Asia & Africa have the same amount of teams as Europe, and twice as many as South America. That just leads to crappy soccer.

Yeah there's really no excuse for CAF/AFC to get 3.5 spots while UEFA gets only 3 and CONCACAF/CONMEBOL 2 a piece

 

But as for Spain-Honduras, that still is a really big upset. Spain has some players who already play major minutes at top Euro clubs.

This. Also, twitter has ruined most of the olympic stuff for me. 90% of my twitter feed is unrelated, but I have a few sports reporters covering the games. They tweet the results a half a day before I watch the replay on NBC.

Ridiculous that Weiber, who finished 4th in qualifiers, doesn't make the 24-person All-Around competition because two other Americans were ahead of her.
