its expected that even the USA's 4th team should win it all lol (which is true)
you know not very long ago pro athletes (that means who got paid in any way) weren't even allowed to compete in the olympics..its just like with football, rugby and cricket and us english.. we invented them all.. we took them to our colonies.. now india and pakistan and the west indies routinely whoop our butts at cricket... and although we're on top right now others were kicking our ass at rugby.. and the less said about football the better... lolits probably good for the US to lose.. because it'll make them realise they have to work, and maybe next time ya'll will bring a stronger team (sounds like ya'll think some people should be there...)
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.
I still don't know how anyone could ever play against the 3 greatest players ever. We have Kobe, Shaq, and Duncan, and all we have playing is Duncan.

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.
