USA not playing much D

[HG]

The Greeks are shooting 31-48 so far- if they keep this up they may win by double digits.

Think not winning this tournament would be best for USA concerning winning 2008 Olympics .USA mental attitude & overconfidence will be 2 of their biggest issues in 2008 .Winning this tournament would only add to these potential problems .Rest of the world is gunning for USA as USA gets other team's best effort every nite .

Top 3 or 4 teams in world are legit too .Will Kobe & Arenas be enough to make difference in improving our outside shooting ?Hope Marion & Odom also make 2008 squad as they can play D & can score .USA didn't have alot of length in their main 6 or 7 players & these 2 players would help in this area also .

Buzz - Any lean in other Semi Final game ?Don't think Greece wins in the Finals .

funniest thing i have ever heard....... the announcer says

the usa is being picked apart by high IQ players


SO true and so sad the usa has basically no high IQ players themselves.


usa has one on one streetballers and were just beat by a team wiht 1/10 the talent .
usa prob would have won with an AN one team out there, but the best in the world just cant hang.

well at least we still have football, for now

Posted it weeks ago in in the basketball thread hoodrats who can't make freethrows or threes in the late rounds could lose easily;-) It happen yet again. When we they get it the WWF/NBA can't win in real basketball anymore. You have to play like a team and make your freethrows otherwise it's bronze game forever. I wouldn't be surprised to see Arg. win the bronze and US to get shutout.
