2008 Olympic Basketball Day Three: Inside the Box Score
Spain/Germany: Unlike the US the Spanish have messed around with their starting 5 to so far. This was evident in their opener when Marc Gasol got the nod over his older brother and yesterday when Jose Calderon came off the bench. In this one the Spanish were determined to not let Dirk Nowitzki...
2008 Olympic Basketball Day Two: Inside the Box Score
For an explanation of the "Inside the Box Score" posts go here. Lithuania/Iran: I watched the majority of this one and was struck by 2 things: 1.

Dirk Nowitzki and Germany: China Bound
Catch video of Dirk Nowitzki here discussing Germany qualifying for Olympic Basketball. A few points stood out for me: 1. He went out of his way to talk about the physical nature of play overseas. That's not how most Americans think of international basketball. 2. Nowitzki said the right things...
