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.

All I can say is blame the lazy players.

with maybe 2 exceptions, Kidd and Kobe, all of them were capable of joining the Team. But they're all too lazy and unpatriotic. lol. But it's always been like that man. In the world championships the squad was even worse lol, and you only finished 6th, which is a disgrace of course.
