We're watching the USA game LIVE - spoilers be damned

[VF21]

If, in fact, they are going to show the game LIVE throughout the US, I think we need our own little thread to discuss it. I've noticed several night owls checking in so I think we'll have some other fans to talk to...

If it's not true, and they delay the game until 2:30 a.m. here on the West Coast, this thread will disappear.

Yeah, on the NBC olympics website:

if you click on "your time" this is what I see (living in Sacramento area):

08/23 11:30pm
Men's Gold-Medal Game - Game 76
Spain vs United States Alert me Preview
Scheduled

So it looks like it will start at 11:30 pm. If so, I am watching it.

Want coffee? It appears as though I'm going to have plenty. I made a BIG pot of very strong coffee on the assumption I'd be waiting until 2:30 a.m. for the game to start. Oh well - if I'm wide awake after the game, I can always play a couple of the video games you dastardly people have mentioned in the video game thread. I'd forgotten how addictive some of them were... Especially Q-Bert and Gauntlet.

Wow. That page takes forever to load... Just another reason I NEED broadband.

It would be neat if VF21 or someone would do a live Kingsfans play-by-play:

Rubio drives the lane with fancy over the shoulder behind the back pass to Pau underneath. He's stripped by Kobe weak-side, out-letting long to Lebron for a flying thunderous jam at the other end. USA on a 17-6 run!!

You must be watching something funny. The game hasn't started over here on the east coast!

 

[VF21]

Interesting. Looks like the East Coast is well represented with Spike, chelle, Mr. S£im and Brickie... don't you people know what time it is????

 

[PurpleHaze]

Starts in less than 3 mins live for east and west coast. YIPPEEE!!

 

[VF21]

Looks like it's gonna be a pretty physical game. Gotta love the hustle so far - I don't think before these Olympics I've ever seen Kobe Bryant dive on the floor to attempt to steal...

 

[Spike]

If LeBron is in foul trouble, this gets a lot more interesting. Defense seems to be lacking early on.

 

[VF21]

Lebron AND Kobe on the bench. I'm gonna shut up now.

 

[Kings Faithful]

I'm checkin in, i only realized it was on live because of this thread.. thanx. Spains making it a contest!

 

[VF21]

Unfortunately, they're like sprinters trying to run a marathon. Spain had better be very careful and play THEIR game because, as the commentator said a few minutes ago, they won't be able to beat us at ours.

GO USA!!!

They tried that the first game - not enough depth to pull that off.

[VF21]

Hrm. Doing the math, if we don't slow down on the fouls, we won't have anyone left for the 4th quarter...

 

[Spike]

We hit the "3" and this game is over. Yuck, bad foul by Howard.

 

[Spike]

Marc Gasol is a thug. What's his bball skill again?

 

[jon e]

hell yes were watching this live! if they tape delayed this one like the others wed be up until 4am. USA! USA! USA!

 

[Spike]

Rubio doesn't seem to have many problems vs. Kidd.

 

[Kings Faithful]

I'm not gonna lie guys. I have a hard time rooting for our team......were to packed with superstars and i find myself more motivated to see the underdogs win.

Mr. Slim, did the server change? I'm having trouble joining you in chat.

 

[VF21]

Kings Faithful - Oh good grief. Whatever, dude...

 

[Spike]

Chat? Qui est chat?

 

[6th]

This is not about underdogs vs. superstars. For me, it is ONLY about USA pride.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Mr. Slim, did the server change? I'm having trouble joining you in chat.

Still the same server as before: irc.bludgeon.org

[VF21]

chat is mIRC. server: irc.bludgeon.org channel#: Kingsfans

Be there or be square!!!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Im sorry, its just really hard for me...seriously. How can i possibly be excited about winning when I already know its going to happen. Its like watching the espn news highlights, seeing who wins, then watching the game...its not exciting. It only makes it worth it for me if i root for the underdogs.

 

[VF21]

Well, you might consider NOT posting in a thread that's clearly so enthusiastic about the USA team. You know? Why ruin it for the rest of us? We're hyped and loving this game.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Fine man watever.
