PSA: USA basketball sucks

[tfinch2]

sorry if this is a repost but this team looks horrible. where is kobe, shaq, garnett, mcgrady, carter, etc etc. don't these players feel obligated to represent their country? where are the shooters? how to you expect to win when everyone is going to play a zone or a soft man defense against you and you have allen iverson on the perimeter shooting 3's. what a disgraceful team. i guess everyone has high expectations set by the 92 barcelona team. i want to cry.

They should've sent Detroit Pistons instead.

LOL, they're about to start showing the game here on the west coast, and they just interviewed Larry Brown. He just said that he's not confident at all about their chances. too funny.

Those assholes are living high on the hog on the Queen Mary II while the rest of the athletes are in the Olympic Village. I think they should kidck their asses off that ship and make them stay at the village or until they are eliminated then they should be sent packing!

squeal oneil is chowing pork rinds, learning how to read with hooked-on-ebonics, and getting freethrow tips from the girlscouts.

kobe can't leave the country because they know his rapist ass wouldn't come back, and no hotel is going to put their employees at risk from him.

the rest of them have enough respect for our amateur athletes to let them play.

STOP BLAMING THE PLAYERS THAT ACCEPTED THEIR INVITATION TO PLAY, AND REPRESENT THEIR COUNTRY.

Blame the players that declined, and the staff that chose who should replace them. They could've done a better job choosing substitutes. However, they also would've needed more time to practice and learn how to play as a team considering the players only had ONE MONTH TO PREPARE.

Kobe has legal issues. The rest of the players have already represented our country and brought back the gold.

Carter is mediocre at best.

all he had going for him was his monsterous dunks.

Face it, the world has caught up to us in Basketball. That along wioth the NBA not being anywhere near the quality it was when Magic, Larry and Michael played.

I faced it a while ago.

Well the best US NBA players aren't represented.

Even if only Shaq was to play, US would be dominant.

Not if the international refs called charges.
