anyone loving the lack of commercials?

the game moves so smoothly

International game is waaaaay smoother than NBA games. Less commercials, less free-throws, less standing around waiting for God knows what, less replays, etc.

Exhibition games also gives teams an opportunity to view how players from opposing teams operate, tendencies and weaknesses. New Zealand made some adjustments and probably gave the US team fits even though they lost.

At some point during this tournament, the US coaching staff might make changes to their starting lineup and rotations.

Losing Raulzinho is a huge blow.

Always sucks seeing a player go down in international play. A ruptured patellar tendon sounds brutal.
