Olympics Basketball: Puerto Rico 92, United States 73
M Dogg™:
I always thought the USA basketball should be represented by the NBA champions, and in the case of foreign players on the team, then replace them with college students... lol. For reals, that way we already have a TEAM out there, which is the most important thing. Another thing, we need to make Puerto Rico a state right away, shit, and get some of their players. We need good players by tomorrow.
Javier:
U.S.A basketball in a fucking crisis right now.
im sick and tired of this bullshit.
1. No more god damn HS players can enter the NBA, no college players can enter the NBA until their 3rd year playing college ball. This will pretty much make them smarter players , have a better work ethic, and actually compete against GOOD DEFENSE. Of course there are some exceptions but damn now its a fucking joke. You have every good HS player thinking they can jump from HS to NBA so easily.
2. THen you have players who dont give a fuck for their country, while the women's USA team is completely the opposite. They LIVE for this, they play hard, to get to the olympics and to get that pride of the medal and then you have players that are afraid to go to Athens for security reasons, well what a pussy they play in arenas where every other night they have a game and there is a possibilty of a terrorist attack in every arena at all times. That is an insult to all the other american athletes that are competiting at the olympics. so basically, have some fucking pride and balls.
3. What the fuck am i seeing? U.S.A basketball getting BITCHSLAPPED by Puerto Rico. WTF is that?! Nobody on the god damn team knows how to play defense. You have arroyo busting and 1 moves on the team and dancing all around them, whil they just fuckign stand there.
4. I would much rather see the elite college players being coached by Coach K. They would have pride, balls, and play much smarter ball and will fucking sweat that jersey. What kind of player plays harder for their club than their fucking country.

5. Get some coaches from Europe. They arent worse than 90% of the coaches in the NBA. And give them respect. Cause they better than retired players who thinks they can coach somebody just cause they dunked over people when they were 20.
6. Change the fucking rules and make them like the international ones. In the rest of the world Basketball is a team sport. In the USA it's a show.
7. Improve the game. In the States one big man, Shaq, dominates the whole NBA alone. It's not possible. Here you can stop Duncan and everybody with zone, 3pts, double-triple teams, half pressure, Centers shooting from 3pts, pick 'n' rolls.. In America? Shaq is enought to win a title. Wack. The only team i've seen playing European style was been Detroit. Great team (i gotta admit it) with no real "superstars" but with that European style, you know, playing like a TEAM, with great defence, great karma. In fact they are world champions.
8. Istead of having that Iverson attitude: "Pozzecco? Who's Pozzecco?" (it was the Italian PG who litterally schooled him the night before, when Italy won by 17), show some respect to Europeans and South-Americans. Players like Yao, Okur, Nowitsky, Gasol, Stojakovic, Kirilenko, Ginobili, Bodiroga, Parker, Jasikievicius, S.Nash, etc.. are not Americans, but they still damn good. Better than a lot of players in the ALL-NBA 2nd team/3rd team.
Javier:
iverson is an idiot, getting parking ticketrs for parking in handicapped zones, fuck Iverson. How the fuck can he be co captain if he shows up late to team meetings, and then bitches at how he should get special treatment cuz hes the co captain. What a fuckin scum.
"practice, we are talking bout practice here not the actual game"
"parking tickets? we are talking bout tickets here not a federal law parking tickets"
"meetings?! we are talking bout meetings here not the actual game"
Iverson is getting paid millions to be a piece of shit
Nutty:
It's good that they lost the game, then maybe it'll kick some sense into the NBA players who turned the opportunity to rep the US @ the games. How can u not want to rep yer country?
1 problem is that their ego's are so big.
lol@ rugby. Don't even think about sending a 2nd string team again. Pity man, I wanted the ABs n Aussie to play the English WC team. Might've been a different result.........(not), lol.
