What started slow and uneventful has turned into a basketball game. By game, I mean USA is now taking a shit on the russians. It’s the end of the third quarter and the redeem team just closed out the quarter with a 10 - 0 run.

I’ve got the laptop (Kubunu 8.04 w/ KDE 4.1) sitting right here as I am watching the game. Here are my current thoughts:

• Michael Redd is the sickest shooter. He comes off the bench for Kobe.
• The Chinese are having a hard time keeping score.
• 12am is a perfect time for games to start
• Kirilenko blocked Melo in the 1st quarter (sucks for Melo; still a sick block)
• Kobe has 16pts leading all scorers.
• Kobe just missed a finger-roll. I hope someone screamed MOTED!
• 10min quarters are weird.
• DWade is the 6th man…so crazy
• We just played zone D for the first time all game (6:17 4th).
• We haven’t called a single time out in 4 games.
• Chuck Daly didn’t call one the entire 92 Olympics
• Kobe just missed a dunk! MOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTED
• LeBron just fouled out. 10pts.
• Jason Kidd hasn’t played in the second half
• Kobe just banked a 3pter (from the left side) from at least 35 feet back.
• 85 - 65 2:58 4th
• Kobe finished with 19
• This game is over. I love HD
