Team USA Gets All And 1 on Germany

It gets awfully difficult to keep track of who Team USA is playing when, and what's already happened, and at what point I'm going to wake up and discover that, here on the west coast, the Olympic scheduling has actually bent the time-space continuum.

Thank the good book for this Awful Announcing video, which compiles all the dunks from (today's? yesterday's? tomorrow's?) USA/Germany game, and reminds me why I'm feeling less and less bad about missing most of these "contests." I love how these supposed tests of NBA basketball's moral fiber end up looking like the rookie/sophomore game. Because that's how serious international competition is. The stakes are that high. (UPDATE: The original video was removed by The Man, and re-uploaded to this Buzzcuts site that doesn't work in TSB.)

Also, an alley-oop to Michael Redd has to be the single most convincing indicator of ass-whupping available to modern basketball statistician.
