Durant is the man. I loved his game since he was at Texas and lost a NCAA bracket because I bet on him. I thought this US team would have been beaten at least once though. But they proving me wrong
Yeah, I became a fan of his from his year at Texas... totally deserved the POY honors he got. His rebounding to me is the most surprising thing... yes he tall and have a 7-foot wingspan, but rebounding is nasty business. He clearly doh mind mixing it up. His defense is picking up as well.
This US team still has a tough two games to play if they plan on winning the title, Scola averaging 30 pts a game for Argentina, to lead all tournament scorers. But as I say that, I now checking de scores and see Lithuania up 50-30 on Argentina at the half
EDIT:
Score is now 87-58 LTU with 7:38 left in the game...
EDIT:
Final Score: LTU 104- ARG 85
Wow... I don't know which was the bigger upset, Serbia beating Spain or Lithuania beating Argentina.
Brackets are all set then... USA plays LTU at 22 pm EST on Saturday (ESPN)
SER plays TUR at 2:30 pm
Kleiza playing out of his mind for LTU, but aside from him, it eh really have anybody of note on that team. Them probably ketch fire from outside and light up Argentina. Sure enough... looking at the stats they shot 12-24 from 3-pt range. But something else musse went on b/c 12 3 pointers is only 36 pts. Scola musse was tired.
