by: Paul Miles

I'm planning on being very asleep when this post goes live. So lace up, it's time for the Skip Pass.

:: Interbasket: Watch USA v Argentina Live - Interbasket continues their live-blogging with Team Huge Entourage vs Argentina.

:: John Rillie: Where to Now for the Boomers - Our man in Townsville, John Rillie has a very optimistic post laying out Australia's roster for the 2012 Olympics.

Let's start with Andrew Bogut. He has made comment how he is committed to the National Team program every other year so this is good news for the program. He is the face of this team when it comes to international ball.

:: And One: Chiukeung Lego Ambassador - Representing the beautiful city of Cleveland, And One blogger Carolyn shares an audience with the ambassador of Legoland to China to discuss their scale reproduction of the Beijing Olympic parks. One time I met a senior executive of NAMBLA, but I was young and didn't appreciate importance of the meeting.

:: Le Basketbawl: A Trip Through A Wormhole; Parllel Universes Of The NBA - Jeff Sack gets a little sci-fi and hits a riff in the space time continuum. Discovers that the Cavaliers won a championship. Of course even in parallel universes Philadelphia gets shafted on championships.

:: BBall 24/7: DENG HAS GB MRI SCAN - Basketball 24/7 is reporting that the drama surrounding Luol Deng's back, the Chicago Bulls and a New York insurance agency continues. Deng has had a new MRI scan done. If this scan is clean, Team GB hopes to make it part of an appeal. Great Britain hopes to have Deng for the European Finals in 2009 as part of their push for a good showing at the 2012 Olympics in London.

:: Dime Mag: Team USA / Argentina Rivalry Started With a Dunk on KG - Get some backstory on today's game. Hit the link for video of Andres Nocioni going Nick Cannon and straight serving Kevin Garnett.

:: SLAM: How Bad is Andrew Bogut's Ankle? - Slam gives Bucks fans some bad news. Bogut's not too optimistic about an ankle injury sustained landing on Kobe's foot in the loss to the US.

It's not Pistol Pete getting ridiculous with SEC refs, but here's an And 1 mix.
