After the greece vs Lithuania ball clinic and the improvements of Team USA, we're close to the first real test for both teams. So what's your take ?

Team USA is improving, but this contest comes a few games to early for them to really compete (though I think they could utlimately do it during the medal rounds).

Very good spacing, passing andhsooting makes Lithuania's robotic and accurate offense a real threat for the US. Yet, I won't underestimate the strides Team usa is making, and the heart and talent of its players.

Lithuania over Team USA by around 10 points.

I guess it would be NBC if it's primetime. Thanks Bonn.

Nice. I get to watch most of that.

Thank god it's not 7 AM again. It's hard to watch a game on 4 hours of sleep.

Oh, it said 8PM here http://www.usabasketball.com/seniormen/2004/04_moly_schedule.html

But it looks like that site is wrong.

I think this will be like the Serbia Montenegro game. Team USA knows they have a very tough opponent tomorrow and I think everyone will show up and play well.

Oh, I see. I guess I incorrectly assumed USAbasketball.com would be using a USA time zone

for future games, nba.com's sidebar for televised games is a good source.

Either way, USA close or Lithuania close... Gun to my head, I'll go with the USA. It's the patriot in me.
We could be the Dallas Mavs of the East.
