BTW, how about the Lithuanian basketball team? I can't believe Rudy T let his Team
USA get caught up in a slowdown game. What was he thinking?

Well, the game starts about 12 hours from now for us here in eNNNN-Bee-Cee-land, so I haven't seen it. However, considering that Lithuania is missing its four best players - Sabonis, Ilgauskas, Karnisovas (I think he overlapped with "Old School" at Seton Hall) and Praskevicius (all 6-9 or above) - it's a very good showing.

n.b. I watched the French in a couple of televised games (no Moiso, so this is a
non-Celtics thread).

I was under the impression that Moiso was going to play for France, I thought that was the reason he couldn't be here before October. Where is he anyway, still at his cousin's wedding that began in July?

US versus Japan in men's soccer should be a good match.

Certainly should. US Olympic team is playing very good, attractive soccer. They dominated all their opponents so far. Sure beats watching the "Dream team'' (not) sleepwalking through blowouts - well, until this game.
