Congrat USA: You have just lost another Olympics!

[Chenmen]

Argentina is going to pull the upset.

 

[OTK]

Argentina? No way. If the USA by some freak chance doesn't win, it will be either Spain or Greece.

 

[canon2]

USA wins every game by at least 15

Does anyone think that a mostly American playoff-caliber NBA team and its coaching staff would be better off representing our country than a bunch of shoot-first All Stars thrown together coached by a college coach? I could definately see a consistenly-coached team used to playing together like the Celtics, Pistons, or Hornets would have better chemistry and a better overall chance of winning the Olympics for Team USA.

 

[gtc08]

yes, i think the celtics would probably beat any international team. i think the top 5 teams would easily as well. lot said for chemistry.

also alot said for talent, which this USA has team has. talent we know they have, chemistry is why they've been playing in vegas in the past 3 offseasons.

 

[Uno]

someone put their money where there mouth is and let's wager some money on this.

i want the US to win it all. what odds do you wanna give me?

 

[BCTTWR]

Uno, what did you do in Niger? I believe the USA team is a bit overrated. Unless they bring the NBA refs with them I would not lay the big price for them to win gold.

 

[BCTTWR]

Uno, the light just came on.

Please...Niger LOL

[SmokeyLa]

Well the mighty "aussies" who bet player is Andew Bogut, which says enough about their sorry asses, didn't even play....loses by 11?

My goodness, they Bronze may be a stretch.

Nice shooting...another US team sans shooters...

Does it eem like over the course of a few games Carmelo does more harm than good?
