Just giving a heads up in case you want to check this kid out. This is the first time I've seen him play. The game just started.

Which game is it? Rubio's team only plays tomorrow. It's probably the best European team ever, they're simply running over everybody.

I wish I could watch this - I like Rubio's game and am still heartbroken he chose not to come to the NBA  :'(

Maybe there's a way to download the games...

I watched part of the game.  I like Rubio, but he wasn't playing that well.  Among other things, he tried a dumb behind-the-back move and got the ball stolen.  But his court vision is always there.

I saw the part of the game today.  Something that always gets me is how much louder international games are compared to us.  The fans really get into it, singing their team songs and what not.  Foreign fans probably gets disappointed when they see teams like Miami with those weak fans that walk away before the game even ends.  Of course, out there you're also allowed to bring drums and those oversized flags, but still.  I think the only comparable American sports fans to the international are in football.

Yeah, I noticed that. It's kind of like a soccer game with the horns and stuff, just endless noise. I actually found it kind of annoying after awhile.
