Just watched them against China in the opener and they looked good, though someone better Fedex them a 3-point shot before they meet a European team that can shoot from long range. D-Wade was awesome. Doing the family proud :-) The Aussies looked like they sent a rec league team over. Terrible. You guys and your guarantees…..

In addition to being a great athlete she is a natural for the camera. They showed LeBron this morning on the news guaranteeing a win for the USA basketball team, so this should be an exciting game. Kind of neat for me as he is our hometown favorite. I had floor seats for a game once, and he put on one heck of a show. Agreed Swade, Stephanie looked brilliant in all of her photos.

It doesn't ge tmuch coverage, but I'm going for gold! I used to try and claim Dwyane Wade as a distant cousin, but I think my lack of pigmentation just gave away a little too much. Tedjs, and didn't Stephanie look wonderful on the podium? She's the media darling of the swim team this year. Unfortunately it won't be game-on where Australia's concerned. Any chance we had of seriously competing in a medal race went down the toilet when Ian Thorpe figured it was OK to be totally gifted and dominant and throw that gift away in your mid-20s. What a waste. I'm pleased to see Phelps has taken his ability seriously. I hope he gets all eight medals he's after (unless he has some serious Aussie competition, in which case I hope he comes an honorable second).

Take note of the onscreen graphic at around the 0:24 mark. No disclaimer for Saab? At the end of the commercial you see them unplug what appears to be the pre-production version of the Chevy Volt (the latest revision has a slightly different headlight design with a step on the bottom, the front end is more raked, and the corner lights wrap around more) and they show a red Saturn Flextreme (simply the Opel Flextreme with a Saturn logo on the grille).

Stephanie Rice just grabbed a gold for Australia beating our Katie Hoff, and breaking a record - good job.

My 7 year old daughter instantly piped up, "Swade? Swade's in the Olympics?" What can I say? You're famous, mate.

I didn't see the whole thing, but it's good to see Saab in there. Anyone else see it? I’m watching the Olympic and saw a GM commercial that specifically mentions GMC and Saab.

You've got all the ingredients, it's just whether or not coach K can manage the egos and stop the team from imploding like the last few years. I haven't looked at the groups, but I hope the Aussies get a shot at playing you. There's always one Aussie with a chip on their shoulder looking for a fight :-) The US basketball effort is going to be interesting to watch.
