No gold for Team USA (basketball)
 

Why do I even watch? These guys look awful.

I wonder what they will do for the '08 Olympics?

is the game even over?

whats was the final score?

3rd quarter, USA down by 13.

They're traveling, missing layups, etc.

Although they're getting called for fouls when they shouldn't but they still can't shoot.

3rd quarter? Shit, it ain't over.

I agree, this yrs dream team is not much of a dream, nor even a team. But to discount these players? With a whole quarter left? Idiotic.

it aint over til its over, this is going to be a nice game to watch. seems Argentina is giving them a hard time

sucky sucky, i dont like basketball at all so no problems :thumbsup

LMAO...what an awesome dream team. For '08 they better select some players that can actual play a team oriented international game.

They can still pull it off.

If they had Shaq, Kobe, Kidd and Ben Wallace, they would be better than the Dream Team. :2 cents:

Na, you need shooters in international play.

Shaq qould foul out so quick with international rules. :2 cents: (or get called for traveling every play)

Better then the dream team? Have you been drinking?

Jonson
Jordan
Bird

i do not think so

9-0 run for USA, down by 7

:Graucho

They're making this interesting.

True, but, Kobe and Kidd can hit shots IMO.

But I was thinking more along the lines of defense.

But yes, international players for sure shoot better. Look at Yao.

For the record, I said they would not even medal before the games started. If they had the above four, I think they would.

u forgot garnett, mcrady, houston and a healthy carter ;)

If they had the above 4 yeah, but not better than the Dream Team. :winkwink:

What I notice about this team is that they don't guard the outside shots (Shaq and Wallace wouldn't be much help there either).

p.s. Lamar Odom can't shoot.

It would be close. Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Wallace, Kidd. Those are pretty dominant players with marks in history as well man.

The most dominant center ever. One of the most dominant defenders and rebounders ever. One of the great guards ever.

And no, I haven't been drinking, but soon :)

The international rules make the game actually quite difficult for TODAY's NBA players. And on top of that playing in Europe where all those countries are just dying to see the US fail. They are having to battle not only their own shortcomings that is for sure.

Yeah but Dream Team had all HOFers...pretty sad for other teams when their worst player was Clyde Drexler. :2 cents:

Go USA Go ! :thumbsup

Your right, I did forget.

Add on all that, I really think they could beat the dream team.

End of 3rd, down by 13 for those who aren't watching.

update pls... what's the latest score?

is there a site where i can watch live? I hate fucking sitting in the office while everyone else watches basketball :(

Charles Barkley
Larry Bird
Clyde Drexler
Patrick Ewing
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Christian Laettner
Karl Malone
Chris Mullin
Scottie Pippen
David Robinson
John Stockton

4th just started. USA down 13.

good times :glugglug

Better times:

USA 116 Angola 48
USA 103 Croatia 70
USA 111 Germany 68
USA 127 Brazil 83
USA 122 Spain 81
USA 115 Puerto Rico 77
USA 127 Lithuania 76
USA 117 Croatia 85

They don't have the shooters. They'd win big time, but the wouldn't beat the best. :2 cents:

Great team, but do you really think that they would just blow away the guys I listed?

Win or lose, it would be close. IMO.

What channel are you getting this on?

I show it listed on NBC, but I am getting news.

70-59 US is trailing.

9 minutes left in 4th. It's on NBC

this group is very well talented all-around from defense to offense and the bottom line is-- they are UNBEATABLE :thumbsup

USA basketball is terminated for this olympics. It is a big shame, that sport used to belong to the Dream Team, now it is with Europeans.

I'm watching on NBC. Yeah it would be close but in a best of 7 series, original Dream Team would win 4-2 at worst IMO.

7:00 73-61

They're giving up easy 3's.

I am refreshing the score on

im not watching... i swear i'll throw away my TV

Why wasn't Bird on that cover? Was that the official starting 5 at the time?

6:00 left

USA down 74-65.

Time for an 11-0 run!
