Down by 4 with 2:28 left for Spain (108-104) giving the United States their first real challenge in the 4th quarter of the 2008 Olympics. United States have won the gold for the first time since 2000. It wasn’t as easy as everyone thought it was going to be. Spain almost defeated the United States in the closest game in Olympics and most exciting game for the United States. Raptors point guard Jose Calderon was great in that game, only if he played like that every game for the Raptors. It was a great fight, lucky I stayed up to watch a wonderful game.

United States shot 13 of 28 (46%) from the 3 point line, 71& from the floor, and only won by 11 points, 118-107. Dywane Wade was US scoring leader with 27 points, while Kobe Bryant had 20 and 6 assists. Kobe Bryant was great in the 4th quarter with 4 point play to silence the Spain crowd. Spain’s Jose Carlos Navarro had 18 points was very effective with lots of teardrops in the lane. Pau Gasol put in 21 points and 6 rebounds, while Rudy Fernandez had 22 points.

In 2010 along with other big name players, Lebron will be a free agent.But will he sign with an NBA team? Tuesday a person close to the King of Cleveland said he would strongly consider playing overseas if he there was an offer around $50 million a year. Who would not take that offer, $50 million a year. Teams are trying make cap space to make him an offer. But no NBA team can even offer him $20 million a year. Will King James become King of Europe??
Maybe he will even play against Cleveland if he go to Europe in 2010 and play in the NBA Preseason games they play against international teams. Several NBA players have already left for better contracts. No NBA stars (all-stars) have left to internat’ and more moola. NBA said the league is not concered about the developing trend.
The NBA should just go international like they was talking about 2 years ago. I think its going to happen anyway. More and more players are going to leave and the NBA will lose money because some stars will leave for $50 million a year. More people will not go to the game or watch because they wanted to see Lebron James.

And they meet again, you call it rematch and revenge. Its a rematch of the Detroit Pistons (26-7)and Boston Celtics (28-3), also the Utah Jazz (18-16) and Portland Trailblazers (20-13). In the last battle of the beasts of the east, the Pistons came on top. Chauncey Billups hit two free throws to give the Pistons the win. This time Boston wants their revenge, off the mistake by Rajon Rondo. Rondo fouled Billups at the end of the game to give the two free throws and the game.

Now in our next rematch and revenge, Utah Jazz and Portland Trailblazers. The hot Blazers have won 15 of the last 16 games, would have been on a 16 winning streak if not for the lost to who?, the Jazz. Tonight on NBA TV, Blazers look to avenge their only lost in 16 games. The hottest team in the NBA without the number one pick Greg Oden.

Hedo Turkoglu gives the Bulls and their new coach a new years eve gift. Turk hit a fadeaway jumper and gave the Magic the lead in OT and left the Bulls with .07. The Magic defeats the Bulls 112-110 in OT. Just after the Ben Jordan, opps I mean Ben Gordon hit a stepback three with 6.7 seconds left. Now the Magic has a four game winning streak on, just how long will it last.
Turkoglu also missed a shot in the last seconds of the fourth quarter, ended the game with 17 points. “Struggled? Oh my gosh. The guy has been great but today - forget the shooting, anybody is going to have a day like that - but some of those passes. We actually had point shaving allegations in our locker room after the game, I put the ball in his hands because have a great confidence in his ability to play off the dribble and make solid decisions. The solid decision part was not there today. But then again, he comes right back through in the end and hits the big one.”, Van Gundy said jokingly after the game. D-Wright How got 17 points and 22 boundsfor Orlando last game of 07 also Howard got 5 blocks and 3 steals including 1 steal from Gordon late in the 4th quarter. The Orlando Magic road record is now 15-5.

The Jazz ended the Blazers 13 game winning streak Monday, 111 to 101, Portland’s first lost since December 2. Brandon Roy who scored 17 this game had this to say, “It was a great month for us. We lost the first game of the month and the last game of the month. Any time you do that, I think that’s a sign of a young team maturing, you can’t win all of them. It’s an NBA season. We’d like to, but Utah played great tonight.”
