fuck this half court buzzer beater 

USA wont take a medal I predict...maybe bronze... if they're lucky like today

[Smoke]

Yeah, i agree. Now they scare nobody but Americans, lol. Nobody is really scared by them man. I mean lol, Italy with no NBA players embarassed them by not even watching them in their eyes.. No panic, no mistakes, no pressures. We executed well, we dominated, we won. You outplayed them. That last shoot was important, cause without it, in OT.. mmmm...

Now i'm anticipating Argentina or Lithuania against USA, lol. Those teams are like Italy: they aint scared of USA. This one will be a great Olympic Games! For the first time ever USA aint favorite.

I think it's gr8 that teams are going for gold against TeamUSA. The games won't be as boring.

I can't stand 3pointers........kinda kills the game for me, but they win games.

To hit some nice 3pointers, you have to defend better than the other team, move the ball better than the other team, and rebound better than the other team.

C-Shaq
