Apologies that this wasn't up sooner. -ed.

I'm surprised no one else had posted this thread. Rose got benched early in the first but looked good when he was in - a quick basket and a quick assist, at the very least. Asik also playing, and doesn't look too bad. Been fouled and fouled once already. Plays very physical and as already mentioned, may have to spend some time mentally focusing on not playing so physical. But hey, I rather have to tell a big man to be less physical than to be more physical.

End of the 1st: 22-17 USA.

2nd quarter about to start soon.
