It was coined a few days ago as the Durantula's Squad but when the going got rough look who has come to age Mr. Skip Bayless...your Dude and Ace in the Hole King James.

Trailing 82-80 to Lithuania with a little over 4 minutes to go King James gets 9 of his Team USA Leading 20 Points and Team USA escapes with a 99-94 Win and a Wake Up call. Running with the Bully in London..Melo Anthony of Team ME and MSG also chipped in with 20 points.

It was Melo's Former Caddy in the Big Soda Pop Bottle..the Pepsi Center in Denver that gave Team USA all the Lithuianin Cuisine Fixins and Current T-Rex Boy Linas Kleiza had a Game-High with 25 points and 5 Boards in 30 minutes.

Team USA made 10 Money balls to Lithuania's 7 Money Balls but they took 33 from the Arc as the Lithuanians only took half of what the Americans took at 16. The Stats across the Board are eerily similar and it just came down to who will make the Play for Each Team as the US has at least 8 Players that can make a Play and the Lithuanians maybe 3...maybe.

Team USA and Russia are the Only Teams left in either Pool with undefeated Record in Pool Play. Russia shocked everyone but themselves and clipped Team Spain 77-74 in an Olympic Village Thriller.

The US takes on Manu and Argentina on Monday and the Argentinians need this W to get a Good Seed in the MEDAL Round as they have lost to France in Pool Play already. @kdTREY5 added 16 and @DeronWilliams gets 12 to both go with James and the Bully's 20 apiece.

As for Team USA having a little Lithuanian ALUS and STARKA with Kleiza and the Boys....that would be highly unlikely until after the Medal Ceremonies.
