London 2012 Olympics: Day 11 must-see moments
Here are Tuesday's events to watch out for (all times BST):
Full schedule available on BBC Sport website
TRIATHLON (11:30-13:45): Alistair and Jonny Brownlee
Triathlon's wonder brothers Alistair and Jonny Brownlee have dominated their sport in recent years and finished first and second, by some distance, in the recent World Cup event in Switzerland.
With the home advantage of Hyde Park and a domestique in Stuart Hayes to help them, the brothers will be a daunting prospect for the likes of Spain's Javier Gomez, Russia's Alexander Bryukhankov, South Africa's Richard Murray and Germany's Steffen Justus.
Sir Chris Hoy
TRACK CYCLING (16:00-18:30): Sir Chris Hoy, men's keirin; Victoria Pendleton, women's individual sprint
The final night of action at the velodrome could be an emotional affair as it will be the last time track cycling's biggest stars, Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton, compete together for Great Britain. Hoy will attempt to win the sixth gold medal of his stellar career in the keirin (heats - 10:00; final - 17:57), while Pendleton goes for a third gold in the individual sprint (semis - 16:00; final - 17:26) before retiring. German Kristina Vogel, China's Guo Shuang and perennial rival Anna Meares of Australia stand in her way.
ATHLETICS (19:00-21:06): Robbie Grabarz, men's high jump
Among the finalists at the Olympic Stadium, Grabarz has every chance of battling for a medal in the high jump, while fellow Briton Tiffany Porter goes in the 100m hurdles semis (19:15) along with the brilliant Australian Sally Pearson. Usain Bolt will begin his charge for the sprint double in the morning (11:50) with the heats of the 200m, while Britain's Phillips Idowu will hope to overcome his fitness worries to qualify (10:45) for the triple jump final.
EQUESTRIAN (10:00-15:45): GB dressage team
Britain's dressage team of Carl Hester, Laura Bechtolsheimer and Charlotte Dujardin are on the verge of making history in their sport. They hold the lead going into Tuesday's final round of the team event, narrowly ahead of Germany. A win would be a first Olympic title for Britain having exploded on to the sport's world-class scene with a succession of talented riders, the latest being Dujardin on Valegro, who set an Olympic record score last week. The 18 best-placed individuals will qualify for Thursday's individual final: the grand prix freestyle.
SAILING (13:00-13:20): Nick Dempsey, men's RS:X
Dempsey and Bryony Shaw reach their medal races - possibly the last-ever windsurfing races at an Olympics, with the sport set to be replaced by kiteboarding for Rio 2016. Dempsey lies in silver medal position going into the decider, with the gold already secured by Dutchman Dorian van Rijsselberge, but Bryony Shaw will struggle to match her gold from Beijing as she is down in seventh place (14:00).
HOCKEY (19:00-20:30): GB men
Great Britain's men take on Spain needing a draw to reach the semi-finals, following a dramatic fightback in their last match from three down to draw with Australia.

Carmelo Anthony is a cheap shot little bitch, so if it was to happen to someone, I'm glad it was him.

They didn't roll over, they got stomped out by the far superior team.
#Team USA Basketball kicks ass

If you're new to NBA games, I'd watch a few on YouTube first. Depending on the team/coaching style you may see some bad basketball (a.k.a shameball). Or even worse... fuckball.

It feels like Best-GAF is taking over Olympics-GAF.
If you like this style of play, I recommend the Charlotte Bobcats or the Washington Wizards. Both have excellent smash mouth PGs in Kemba Walker and John Wall.
It's hit or miss in some games in normal season. It hits the fan tho comes playoffs/finals
I dunno man. It seems like the US doesn't play defense until they see the game is actually really close.
adjustments get made at the half

I like it, because it shows a complete lack of respect for their opponents.

... shut up.
Spurs to me play an awesome brand of ball. Popovich gets them running like a well oiled MACHINE.

The Heat. Style and Bullshit is what they specialize in.
I don't think it does, but maybe things like those are why nigeria complained, lol.
Watch the Lakers and the Wolves when Ricky Rubio gets back (~January).

I think the events were posted last page? Lemme check... Aww those are tomorrow's.
And I'm serious about the shameball. In fact the Knicks and the Nets would routinely play in the Shameball Classic for years, until 2 years ago the Bobcats took the Nets' place. This year it'll be the Bobcats and another team TBA.
Just got back from being out all afternoon. I know I am late but fuck that referee for giving the Americans the win. This was the worst officiated game of football I have ever seen since South Korea vs Italy and Spain in the 2002 World Cup. Also the Americans were classless with Wambach calling a dive on the Canadian when she spiked the Canadian. Pure bullshit and I hope the Japanese run circles around the Americans like they did in the World Cup. Sinclair outclassed the entire American squad and showed that Alex Morgan is nothing.
What World Cup did you watch? Winning in penalties is running circles around them? Give me a break.
We must have been watching different games. Sinclair was amazing no doubt, but the Americans were playing damn well (okay, maybe not Hope Solo) and Alex Morgan was doing work that entire game.
If Americans are seriously proud of their win then they need to watch more football.
A wins a win. Can't control what the refs do, just have to make the most out of the situations handed to you.
I am most angry with the fact that Wambach was classless when given a gift opportunity. You get the gift you shut your mouth and say nothing, you don't call out a player for diving when you spiked them.
Give the modality a few more years.
I'm not gonna pretend to know what you talking about but I've never cared about how much class.

I watched the replay of the freekick in the soccer match on different angles. Clearly a handball. If that was the biggest controversy then people are over reacting or just very salty

A woman's head obviously cannot handle the impact of the water /outdatedlogic
The controversy is the call on the free kick. Calling the goalie for holding the ball for over 6 seconds. There was also a clear hand ball the us did where Rapinoe controlled the ball with her arm which wasn't called. The US are lucky to escape with the win and if there is a football God, the Japanese will be taking the gold like how Italy and Spain won the consecutive World Cups after the travesty of 2002.
