We are going to show the whole world where the best basketball is played.
We are Americans, and we are always going to dominate.
-
Well they barely beat Brazil.
-
They really should.
-
Well they barely beat Brazil.
no shit,.....I just finished watching that game, it was horrible.
The problem is finding a rotation for the team....just throwing random players out there all game made them look really bad against Brazil....For example, D Howard started at center and didnt play at all in the second half. Wade looked like shit against Brazil, way to many turnovers.
-
Word, just like the WBC!
-
Kobe will save them... ;D
-

That's because he was expecting all those turnovers to be fouls.
-
LOL. 1-4 FG, 5 turnovers...Pathetic
-
Oh let's not forget BARBOSA is that nigga! Him and Amare are the only players from Phoenix I like.

seriously, I think Wade hurts the chemistry of this team when he's on the floor. I think they should take him out of the starting lineup....Id like to see them start Chris Paul, LeBron, Melo, Bosh and Howard.
They REALLY need to establish a rotation tho. You cant get into a good flow playing all 12 guys all the time. They need to figure out who the top 8-9 guys are, and stick with a rotation IMO.

There are countries other than America that play Basketball, what's wrong with them ???

Well they already lost bad in 2002 and 2004... they can't shoot and attack a ( real , not NBA type) zone. USA will probably have trouble against top European teams (Greece, Spain, France, Italy) and Argentina
-
well they should crush all the teams. and if they don´t they should stop playin basketball.

Argentina

why ? NBA players have already lost 6 games in these 2002 and 2004 events.. this time the team is better built than the previous ones but FIBA game is a lot different than NBA one, plus others teams have way better chemistry than Team USA (coz they play together for many years). USA gonna suffer a lot in this WC
-

It's not really that different, if you ask me. It's just that they follow the rules, in FIBA games, while in the NBA they are more like "this player got credibility: let's make a call!". In FIBA games every players are threated in the same way. Or at least it should be like that, cause the refs helped USA against Brazil in a scandalous way, lol. But who cares, it was a friendly anyway.
plus others teams have way better chemistry than Team USA (coz they play together for many years).
I don't know about this shit. It looks like an excuse to me. They play the same number of games and the same competitions: WC, Olympics, Continental Tournament (European/American..). It's an excuse. Plus the top players from Europe/Argentina do play in the NBA for the whole year, so they don't really have better chemistry.
USA gonna suffer a lot in this WC
It's highly possible, yeah.
-
the chemistry talk is just an excuse. the fact of the matter is that a lot of the US players are overpaid divas that are feeling their own game a lil too much. not to mention that all of the guys in the american team got egos big as hell, and when you´re on a team stacked with superstars that aint a good thing.
-
^^^ what I meant by FIBA game being different was the zone... You can play sort of zone in NBA but you and me know it's weak defense compared to European ones... NBA players are lost against the zone D.. I totally agree with u when it comes to refs.. About chemistry I meant for others countries the roster isn't changed at 100% every two years (unlike USA)...

yep true.. they improve this year by selecting role players such as Bowen, Battier. Anyway I always thought USA had to send a NBA team (I mean players of the same team) to compete in these International events.. the pb is that most NBA teams are full of foreign players :P

Dude get off Nik's nuts, every time he post's something you jump all over it
-

BINGO! That's the real problem. In international games teams usually play zone defence. So not only they are better than USA defending, but also they know how to attack the zone, while USA don't have a clue (you gotta shoot from outside and move the ball fast, something USA team can't do). That's the big advantage: zone defence.

Yeah what i mean is that nobody told them to change it.

They were talking about changing it to sending the NBA champions about 2 years ago...I personally think it's a bad idea, but that's mostly because it kills the meaning of a Dream Team...PeACe

USA just shitted on Korea...

Up next for USA Basketball is a trip to Sapporo, Japan for the preliminary round of the FIBA World Championship on August 19th. Team USA, which beat Puerto Rico by 45, China by 46, Brazil by 4, Lithuania by 23, and Korea by 53 will take on Puerto Rico on Saturday (1 a.m. ET, ESPN2).
-
^^^^ They should had face stonger opponents than these teams imo ( Lithuania roster doesn't include like 4 of their best players) to know how they look against top European teams.. anyway I watched all these games and this team seems a lot better than the 02 and 04 ones. I think it's gonna be a interesting WC 8)
-
Gilbert Arenas withdrew from the team due to injuries...
-
yesterday was way too embarassing for Korea that game was comedy

Yeah, that was some funny shit.
-
I think they will do better this year then they have in the last few years but I don't think they will dominate.
-
^outside of the brazil game that's what they've been doing....

When and where are the games on? I can never find them on TV.

USA will suffer that's all I got to say
-
well suffering will have to wait one more day....beat China quite nicely today
-
is it me, or is Battier seeing more minutes than he should ???
I think the former Duke star is in tight with coach K
-
well suffering will have to wait one more day....beat China quite nicely today
USA met Puerto Rico and China... Slovenia and Italy games should be a good indicator of their real level against "good " teams before playing the top teams like Argentina, Spain and Greece
-
I think the US is looking a lot better than last time, no doubt, but they are vulnerable as Italy proved today. They don't dominate like in 1992 or 1996 and never will again, but they have a great chance of winning the tournament. Argentina, Spain... those teams can take 'em.

Is it me, or is Melo proving that he's as good, if not better than Wade and LeBron in this tournament? NBA marketing sucks, but what sucks worse is fans who eat it up...PeACe

i've been saying it since he came in the league, carmelo is tight. He Should have been Rookie of the year as well.
