Anyone been watching their practice games? Been on late at night. Been all blowouts so far. Closest game might have been 35 pts.

I don't blame them. Places are so dirty in that area. Then with so many people getting sick on cruise ships they just might not be too safe. Heard on Channel 4 sports that one of their people lives in a hotel room where he can put a arm out and touch the other rooms.

The team, I don't think will have a close game. Spain will probably be there best competition, and their best player, Marc Gasol, isn't even playing. I would be surprised if they played a game within 25 points.

I don't blame them either,problem is they never stay in the Olympic Village's no matter what country it is.I like to know who is picking up the tab for that cruise ship, I bet it's not the players. :roll: This was a very poor selection to host the Olympics,Rio had to cut spending on healthcare,education and the police have gone unpaid weeks at a time just to have these games.They expect it to cost over 20 billion by the time it's done.IOC bungled this up bad!

They need to look into these location much more. This country put in for these games in or around 2008/12.

The problem with the IOC is most of the committee is corrupt.
