team USA basketball

[Sazar]

or should I say team marketing?

currently we are getting our asses handed to us by.... whom you may ask?

china? lithuania? spain? yugoslavia?

nope... PUERTO RICO

:rolleyes:

I look forward to lebron james and carmelo anthony delivering the gold medal they promised...

:(

as a life long basketball fan I have never been so embarrased watching a team play... ever... even with the current bulls or the clippers of old... never have I seen any "team" of supposed talent play this bad...

:retard:

end of 3rd quarter == 17 point deficit with 10 minutes to go...

hopefully they can come back and restore some respect to the uniform...

I personally love to see the overpaid brats lose.

[Sazar]

its all over...

the over-paid... over-hyped louts playing for team marketing have done the unthinkable and LOST to a pre-tournament non-medal contender in puerto rico...

:rolleyes:

saying this was an embarrasment is an understatement...

[peeon]

pwned

they lost cause there was no Dirk N. he's by far my favorite player. he's a baller

oh yeah, lets not overlook the fact that the whole was a bunch of scrubs

[Sazar]

dirk plays for germany... germany didnt even qualify for the olympics...

in any even even playing with the US team dirk would not have helped much cept with the outside shooting...

he can't defend... he can't do much in the post... he's a very one-dimensional player...

he does however spread the floor and pose matchup problems in one on one play... but in international play they use the zone more often than not

sry m8... I am not a big fan :)

sry m8... I am not a big fan :)

that makes me sad. :sry:

why dont you like him?

[Sazar]

read my first post again :)

he's entertaining and a good shooter but he is not the kind of player I would build a team around... will be interesting to see how he does w/o nash running helter-skelter...

[zoomy942]

it will be neat to see what happens to my mavs this year.

[Sazar]

I like the young kids :)

they will turn the mavs from an out of control team to one with a bit more insight on defense...

hopefully they will play basketball again rather than run and gun all day long..

I have a feeling w/o shaq the west is gonna be more open... spurs should kick some bootay! :D but after that it should be open...

houston the other team to watch...

I hate the NBA as a whole. The talent is just not there anymore. The basketball maturity isn't there either.

[zoomy942]

i dont hate the NBA, but i dislike all the money grubbing boys who think its al about hotdoggin. i get the most pumped up when i play ball when we have a great passing game going on. noone realizes what passing does anymore.

It serves those overpaid big headed idiots right.

[zoomy942]

i played in high school and college, and i always was willing to play for 5% of what they make. and i would have had heart...
