USA beats Germany at buzzer

[andynbg]

Forgott to mention that I have the highest respect for AI, Duncan etc. for playing for your team during the Olympics. But how about the rest of the pack like Shaq, Kobe etc. I always though you guys are so proud of your nation. How about being proud playing for your team ??????? I guess that is not important for them because they won`t get the big $$$$ for that.
Don`t get me wrong. I really like watching the NBA but I have no respect for players enjoying their holidays more than playing for their country.

I'm not sure how much shaq would help,although
they could plant him in the middle on defense.
can't really blame Kobe,he has a still possible
rape trial to deal with at the moment.
i'm not sure about the line-ups brown is
using.AI and Marbury together?? they need
a 2 guard who hit a jumper from a set position
and neither one of those cats is a two guard.
Lebron James is a poor outside shooter.wade
is a incredible athlete but he's another
with a point guard mentality.he needs the ball.
Carmelo Anthony is the player most ideally
suited player for the international game.

On defense perhaps they should play a matchup
zone.

at the buzzer....and they didnt qualified for the olympics

What I find hard to believe is how this apparently excellent German team led by a world class player like Dirk Nowitzki did not qualify. I understand two starters missed todays game also. There must be some very very good teams that did qualify in front of Germany.

No, it was our teams fault. They played a horrible tourney last year. Dirk was out of shape and the former coach made some horrible calls. Our team should usually be the top team in Europe. At the last European Championship we lost the final due to bad coaching. We were up by three with seconds to play. Then instead of making a foul and giving Turkey the chance to hit only two and still being up by one they let them hit a 3 pointer and lost in OT. That maybe explains why we did not qualify for the olympics.
