Its playing now on CCTV2 if anyone is interested. Seems like the locals are cheering louder whenever anyone from the US team dunks the ball. US is up 20-16 at the end of the 1st quarter.

It's also on NBC Sports Television, CBC Sports Television and CBC.ca (streamed in Canada) and pretty much everywhere that has a broadcast or webcast of the Olympics. This match is just of immense proportions.

Ironically, none of the Chinese NBA "stars" are doing much for the Chinese national team. Its this little point guard #4 that's weaving through our US players practically untouched that is generating some cheers.
And I swear a Chinese player let himself get blocked out of the lane just so he could watch Dwayne Wade dunk the ball. I mean that player didn't even try to get around the box-out.
correction: I think the guard generating excitement on the Chinese team is #8, and not #4.

China's point guard - Chen - is only 19 years old! What poise!

only reason china is within 12 is because of their 3. i think 27 of their 38 (or whatever they have) are from behind the arc.
the USA really needs to guard the 3 point line much better... that's what international ball is about.
