USA basketball game 2
 

Predictions? How many of you are actually hoping that these over paid primadonnas get their asses handed to them again?

They won't.

I hope they lose all the games they play and maybe next time the nba will send some real players

they should send the first dream team back :1orglaugh

They tried to send different players, alot of them didn't want to go.

The Olympics are this year?

this is our 3rd string, if that, i'd like to see how competitive the rest of the world is with:

Shaq
KG
Duncan
Kobe
Kidd
-------------
Ben Wallace
J. O'neal
Carter
T-Mac
Bibby
Jordan
Magic

I agree those fuckers are playing with zero heart. God damn embarrasing

If they really wanted to win They'd have Shaq as center, Duncan and Garnett side by side. Steve Francis/Jason Kidd and Kobe in the back court.

They already sold enough Shaq, KG, Duncan, Kobe, Kidd jerseys. The world has to see the new jerseys that are avaiable @ nba.com in 5 different colors

Did anyoen watch the first game? It's like they were afraid to shoot plus they couldn't hold onto the ball.

They dont even want to win

Dreaming Team Now! :1orglaugh

Lame excuse.."this is our 3rd string". Bah!

These "3rd string" players should STILL be better than who they're playing against.
They're all a bunch of primadonnas who firstly, don't know how to play together a a team (typical "new generation" NBA player mentality: ME FIRST!), and secondly, obviously don't have any heart or pride in playing for their country, cause if they did, they put their own selfishness aside, lose the "we play in the NBA, you should let us win", attitude and start playing like it means something...obviously, they aren't.

They'll lose, and that's the way it should be. Gold should go to a team/country that actually wants it.

dream team my ass...the USA Basketball team won't even medal this year. :1orglaugh

Agreed. This team doesn't deserve to win. They have no heart, no passion, no drive. They are over paid primadonnas.

:thumbsup

Definitely agree. They're a bunch of bums with no heart. The NBA and just about every US player in it are a disgrace.

I hope they don't medal at all. They don't deserve it.

Greece is giving them a hard time right now.. looks like they could lose again.

They're still good but like you said they don't know how to play as a team. Another problem is that they don't have enough of what they need. They don't exactly need the best available as much as they need the best available at each position. (No outside shooters, no good defenders, etc.)

Damn, it's amazing how bad pro players are at teh foul line. That's probably the easiest thing to do in all of pro sports. :2 cents:

They won

did Iverson, play ?

read a quote by him today

"I hanged up on anybody that asked what happened. What kind of question is that?" "What happened? We lost"

What he was thinking . . .
I hanged up on them cuz I woulda smashed 'em in the dome if they was in my face with them bogus questions.

coaches will then be thinking of getting foreign players which is showing some potential after this tournament.

the quality of US players are now in joepardy
