Bosh had a solid double-double, with 20 points (7/9 fgs), and 10 boards (6 offensive), to go with an assist and a block, in just 21 minutes.
I'm sure that performance will go a long way towards helping his confidence.
The States will next play Australia (4th place team from Group C) on Sunday

Looking elsewhere...
After testing team USA in a tune-up... Brazil got bounced by Lithuania - where's Hoffa when you need him?
China used a monster performance from Yao Ming to edge Slovenia, 78-77...
Yoa had 36 points, 10 boards, and 4 blocks, as the Chinese advance to the Roung of 16... Slovenia also advanced (because Italy snuck past Puerto Rico, 73-72), but in the game against the Chinese, Rasho Nesterovic had 11 points, 10 rebounds, 3 helpers, and 3 blocks in 22 minutes... Uros Slokar hit a go ahead bucked (which was later trumped, obviously) in the final seconds, and finished with 15 points, 6 boards, and 3 dimes - in 35 minutes (quality burn).
Spain remained unbeaten, and humiliated the hosts, 104-55 over Japan.
Pau Gasol - 26 points, 15 boards...
Jorge Garbajosa - 12 points, 6 boards, 4 steals...
Jose Calderon - 2 points (0/1 fgs), 7 assists, 1 turnover.
...and on the Darko watch, just because he's playing so damn well... Mr.Milicic had 24 points, 12 boards, 2 helpers, and 2 blocks in Serbia-Montenegro's 83-79 loss to the powerful Argentinians... Luis Scola had 22 points, 13 off the glass, and 5 assists.

Back in North America... the Newark-Star Ledger reports:
According to a close friend of the Nets forward, Carter and his wife, Ellen, recently initiated divorce proceedings, which may be a major factor in his next move.
If his wife gains custody of their 1-year-old daughter and moves back to Orlando or her own hometown in South Carolina, Carter could be motivated to sign with the Magic or Charlotte Bobcats just to stay close, as both teams have substantial cap room to sign him.
Just thought I'd put it out there for some water-cooler talk. It seems that Vince can't stay committed to anything long-term. At least, according to the report.

(thank me at another time for using a word I can honestly say I have never typed before in my life in an attempt not to muddy up your blog with my dirrty mouth...)
If u saw me online the past few days, my name was something along the lines of Is Bosh even still alive? on the US team even? So it was hype to see him play. However my reply here is more about an article i read online from the Toronto Sun (I know, that says it all right there)... here it is, this shit (srry) had me soooo upset ot read it!

Does Killing Raptors Boost Leafs?
The teams operate as two separate businesses and the selling of the Raptors would not affect the financial viability of the Leafs in any way. As it is private operation, MLSEL does not release specifics on how much, if any, money the Raps lose. But consider this -- the NBA signed a $4.6 billion US TV deal in 2002, worth approximately $765 million annually. The Raps receive a lot more money from TV than the Leafs ever will. What does each NHL team receive from that OLN package? A box of Sudafed and $37? Or has it reached the point where the NHL has to pay TV to televise their games? Another reason Al believes it's a good idea to get rid of the Raptors is that the ice is poor because they have to put in the floor for at least 41 basketball games a year at the ACC. True, I suppose. -- Toronto Sun
