I saw that this morning, Holy shit, trampoline is an Olympic sport. I missed the boat on this one. When do the horesheos and croquet competitions come on?

Game is live here in the islands. All knotted up with 8 min to go. Man, I have never rooted so badly against a US team in my life and I am a diehard patriot! Something about this "dream team" that I just HATE

I know what it is---it is the tatoos, the smack talking, the towel waiving, the baggy shorts, the $500 cornrows, the easy missed free throws and the 7 figure per year paychecks---need I say more?

Gawd, that #13 for Lithuania was unbelievable down the stretch, scored like 15 points in the last 3 minutes, hitting from everywhere on the floor. Unbelievable display of shooting.

LTU 94, USA 90 (unofficial)


David Stern can't tell these officials to play favorites with the superstars to boost ratings. Maybe they really aren't as good as they're hyped-up to be.

YES YES YES!!! I assume I am the only Florida redneck who is a first generation Lithuanian.
Follow LTU basketball and have pen pal buddies in the old country. I hope some of you got down on LTU as I suggested. First over dime bet for me in two years. Please forgive my exuberance.

Condolences to USA bettors.

they wanted it more
they were better
our best shooter on our USA team (Jefferson) was 47th in the NBA this year on 3 point shots.
Lithuania plays like the old Lakers and Celtics teams of the 80's.

I don't even consider Jefferson a legit 3 pt threat...

When i think of Jeeferson, i think of a guy who has great hops and plays above the rim....unbelieveable he is the U.S. go to 3 pt shooter

This game didnt really mean much in terms of ths standings...

it did mean alot for pride though....

USA will make the medal round none the less...

We may start seeing + 175 or more on the USA now that they lost this game.....

Game ball from me goes to Jasikvicius Sarunas. #13 from Maryland. 9/14, 7/12 from 3. Same kid that missed the game winning trey in Sydney. He lived with that for how long? Having an entire country blame you for loss is the ultimate motivator. Best Wishes to Sarunas...OF

I really hate this team. I feel bad for 2 people larry brown and Tim duncan. AI is overrated, lebron doesn't have the fundamentals, wade is ok. lamar odom is garbage.. okafur adds nothing. marbury sucks.
marion isn't even a allstar. stoudamire is just a average player. Why are they still the dream team? They should be the SHAME TEAM!!! Micheal Redd would hit threes for them!!! He should be on the team...

AI still plays with heart, he just isn't a very good outside shooter and he won't get every single fould call.
Larry Brown should come out and bash them, call them a bunch of overpaid, overrated, spoiled crybabies, but he knows he has to go back and coach the Pistons.
Duncan is a man of class and I bet it tears him up inside.

Hats off to Lithuania, they deserved to win and wanted it more.

You know Larry Brown would die for Hamilton and Chauncey Billups in his back court. He'd probably win it with them.

Heard Rick Barry on the radio the other day and he hot the nail on the head. NBA players these days have "zero" focus.

Im sure most of you remember the day when you tried out for a team and had to make it to play. The players these days are products of a system where as a rule kids that suck get to play part of the time and the kids that are pretty good are denied fundamental skills at the very begining. Did you see the shooting skill of the Lithuania team? There were zero hack a Shaqs on that team.
