PrintThe FIBA World Championship final between Team USA and host nation Turkey tips off at 11:30 AM Pacific on ESPN. Can Kevin Durant continue his conquest? Can Hedo Turkoglu and Ersan Ilyasova do the impossible? Should be a thrilling, boisterous bout.

Turkey's offense is not that bad
They have to work hard on the defensive end though
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.
Small ball
Switching to small ball against the zone but I mean it’s coach K that’s what he does at Duke.
And that's wassup.

5 point US lead after the first quarter
Good game so far
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.
It's a bit worrying
How dependant the US is offensively on one player, the last two games and this one as well. If Durant gets in foul trouble or injured, or suddenly grows cold, they could be in serious trouble.

Durant has not hit a shot in a while
It’s a good thing that USA is rebounding and playing D. They’re up by 6
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.
Turkey is not getting any calls haha
So much for home court advantage
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.
He could score 20 even if you make him a spot-up shooter
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.
Love how Turkey's bigmen pass the ball well to each other
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.
Halftime
USA up by 10. They should lead by more IMO. Turkey has been turning the ball over.
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.

This game is over
I hope Durant wins an NBA championship before the Kings hit their stride.
He deserves one.

I like your positive thinking. I hope your right about the Kings.

They seem to be unravelling
without Turkoglu they are vulnerable, and Ilyasova is not playing well today.
Dunking Dutchman
Ilyasova, not playing well, is an understatement
Dude hoists up contested jumpers
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.
I know! He's been exposed in this tournament
He needs the ball in his hands. NaPG
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.
It's amazing how good NBA players are.
Walking comfortably towards Gold with a terribly irrational and imbalanced roster and a non-existent coach.
Kudos to USA's defense
Turkey should have pounded the ball from the get-go. It’s too late now.
Cousins is good but he's no mana from heaven.
yeah baby

Awesome job USA!!!
These guys exeeded alot of peoples expectations. Anyone think coach K will ever coach in the NBA?
Gotta say...
I’m a little miffed that my StR cohorts in America were able to watch, yet I couldn’t find it on tv despite being about a million miles closer than you guys

I was amazed last season by the amount of complaining in the game threads about League Pass.
Wrong games being shown, the Kings’ games wrongly not available. Good luck!
You know what I'm impressed by?
That a USA team that was called the ‘B’ team came back with the world Championship. Right on!
Gotta Love Your Sacramento Kings!!My Song!...
