Ok, USA won gold but Spain F..... RULES!!!?

Question

Awesome game. I'm a bit angry, cos for moments looked like Spain was not only playing against USA but agains the referees too!!!. All those uncalled Howard's pushes on the box, all those blatant travelling again and again and again and endlessly again by US players...

But, on the other hand I'm really proud of the guys, playing a magnificent game, full of courage, till the bitter end against all those superstars, playing an excellent game too, just look at the percentages on 3s and free throws by the americans; fantastic. And still, we kept fighting.

So i'm kinda happy; Congratulations Team USA. Kobe won the game in the end, I suppose you deserved the big medal.

Answer 1

How bout wen gasoul hit bosh in the face that was foul but never called

Answer 2

Do i have to answer a question or what?

I agree with your point. It was really a heck of a game. The best game i've ever seen.

Congratulations on both Team USA and Team Spain.

Answer 3

Those fouls could have gone either way, but I still think those fouls were inconsistent. If you are Kobe fan, you should be happy because we all know that once USA would struggle he will take the game in his hands and that is what he did. Although, I was surprised at him taking those 3's when it was a close game... I know he is a shooting guard, but I don't expect/want him to take those shots.

I loved the game. Wade scared me with a few slips, making me think he injured himself...

Answer 4

sorry, spain rules in which aspect?

as for refs siding with usa, I believe there were some fouls on kobe, lbj,chris paul, howard, bosh and wade which were uncalled.

What do you think?

Congratulations too, for spain to get silver, in fact, I believe spain was knocked out in the quaterfinal in 2004 by none other than USA. A great improvement from 8 to 2 for spain.

Answer 5

The problem is that NBA and FIBA should try to unify the rules because that makes confussion. During the game, there were some actions by the USA team that are allowed in the NBA, but in FIBA are not allowed, so I think the rules must be the same for all.
