It doesn't appear to be on any sports channels or bbc might have to find it online

I didn't an hour looking for this yesterday with no luck.

Really frustrating hearing about games being on online and nowhere to watch them.

RTE the other night had the gymnastics on and for a solid half hour absolutely nothing happened. They just recorded the gymnasts standing around. USA were playing at the exact same time..

hey ya guys download the 'RTE Rio 2016' app (I did for android) there's a schedule there and you can watch the game live or on replay. Caught China vs USA (11PM IE) live and will be watching the CRO vs SPA on replay later.

Down-towwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwin.

Do you know if that channel is on Virgin Media?


This lack of clarity on scheduling is p*ssing me off big time. I'm too tired to stay up in the hope of seeing something and I can't record everything!

I have Virgin media and Freeview Satellite (with options on what to watch on BBC).

if anyone has any clarity on the schedules can you please post? Thanks!

showing USA-Spain in the womens right now.

SantryRed

USA-Venezuela is on BBC Olympics 2.

Venezuela giving them a decent game midway into the 2nd quarter. 26-22 to the USA. Cousins has 3 fouls already :pac:

ButtersSuki

Anyone know if there's any hoops on tonight and if so, what time and channel?

ButtersSuki

For any of you that have FREESAT, there's 3 BBC Olympic Channels around the 260 channel mark - there's basketball on tonight on one of them and every night for the week.

ButtersSuki

Excellent analysis from Coach Nick as usual:

Spain lose again, 66-65 to Brazil. Huge shock.

Most of the days events are over by then so it should be on one of the main channels

For Forks Sake

It's on RTE News Now (Sky 578) and streaming on the site. http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/live/7/

Tied after the first.

Uncle Mclovin

Who's the commentator on rte commentating on the USA game? He's painful to listen to. Terribly unfunny and won't shut up.

NufcNavan

Don't diss Timmy. He's a hero.

He's a great commentator, the problem is no sport is exciting enough for him.

ButtersSuki

Just watched the full USA v Serbia and USA v Australia games back to back having recorded them earlier in the week. They have problems, ESP. offensively where they're relying on talent more than the system and defensively they seem to have massive problems with perimeter screens and subsequent switching in the same play, and with mobile bigs (both teams used their bigs very well against the yanks).

It would be a massive shock if they actually lost a game, but given how they're playing right now I'm not sure it won't happen.

They need to change something!

NufcNavan

There's a lack of role players in the USA team. They have no true point guard and their offense is too stagnant.

I didn't see the Serbia game but Melo bailed them out big time against Australia.

Could be another 2004 job if they're not careful.

ButtersSuki

Really good double OT game there between Argetina and Brazil. Nocioni had late 30s (may have even hit 40 , couldn't tell as the commentator didn't update and no graphics) including some huge 3s (incl. the one to put the game into the first OT).

Scola and Ginobli missed some big free throws too, but then Ginobli iced it at the end hitting a pair. Great game.

ButtersSuki

France rested Tony Parker for the entire game v USA and lose by 3.

US were in control in parts then they'd lose lots of points in a hurry. Same pattern all game. Weird game.

One monster dunk in traffic from Lauvergne though worth looking for. Klay lit it up from 3 and took a few iso plays from Melo to seal the win.

They've looked very poor in the 3 full games I've watched.

One weird thing is Green is only getting a handful of minutes, not being used at all really.

LuckyLloyd

I thought they were in control the whole way despite being in 5th Gear throughout. Anytime France really got close they just locked in for a few possessions and eased out again. Now don't get me wrong, it's clearly not a perfect collection of players and they have some defensive weaknesses along with a tendency to go static iso offensively too much. But there's still far too much depth there for them to be actually beaten over four quarters imo.

I expect them to sleepwalk through the quarters and then bring it for their last two games.

That's a very dangerous game to play though. The France game was weird, like you said they never really looked in huge trouble, but they've scraped through in both games by 3 against France and Serbia. Australia, though they lost by 10, gave them a much closer game. Serbia never led for example.

If I was the coaching team I wouldn't be happy.

Melo has been clutch for them in Iso play.....but again that's a very dangerous game to play. If he's not on, they're screwed.
