Kind of like Puerto Rico fought off US forces in the Spanish-American War...

[Kori Ellis]

Anybody who said Greece would beat team USA in the World Championship would have been laughed out of this forum. Look what happened. Anything is possible. Dont think tomorrow's game is a lock.

are you kidding? how can you compare Puerto Rico to Greece in bball???

I knew Greece would beat USA and I beleive Greece would beat USA again if they played today.

the only teams that can still beat USA are: Spain, greece, Italy, Argentina(with Manu)

[Manu Pacquiao]

Puerto Rico beat team USA in a friendly match before the 2006(?) Olympics. PR is surely the weaker team, and statistically will probably lose 9 times out of 10 games versus the USA, but what if tomorrow will be the 1 game for PRico?

[gus]

No fucking way that Puerto Rico beats U.S.A.

Argentina can not beat them either.

Anyway Journalists in U.S. still know shit about BB. U.S. is winning due to Jason Kidd and Kobe Bryant who defend very well.

Another thing: San Antonio Spurs must everyday thanks for having Tim Duncan because Josh Howard is horrible.

Gus

[Medvedenko]

I guess we'll see...I see TEAM USA get back to brass tacks and destroy Puerto Rico 40-50 point margin....and I hope to see Carlos Arroyo get locked up by Kobe.

Carlos Arroyo sucks

[hater]

arroyo will pretend to twist his ankle by mid 2nd quarter, after us goes for 32pt lead

Cool. Since you're so confident, I'll take USA and 2 points. How much you wanna bet?

[cbinge]

don't think fiba wants that, they want kobe and crew in china. (assuming we also get beat by arg)

[WalterBenitez]

you should learn to spell it, you would probably miss him

PR already up 3-0 spoke too soon, 3-3 now, kobe with the three

Peter John Ramos may be the ugliest human being alive. That's saying something considering I've seen Popeye Jones up close.

Damn Amare with the 3.

I have a feeling he will have a HUGE upcoming season.

It sounds like he does his research before doing these games.

Thanks wikipedia.

This is the worst officiated game I have ever seen. This is worse than the 6 games the Mavs got jobbed by crooked Donaghy and his crooked band of refs. Puerto Rico is getting jobbed big time, and it's wrong. They should be winning if not for the hometown USA refs!!

Um, how's that working out for you so far, longball?

[duncan228]

LongBall bitched about the refs and logged off!

[BeerIsGood!]

Damn was this person way off base. Nobody is coming within 20 pts of the US in this tournament. I'm not so sure if Greece, Spain, or a full strength Argentina could hang with this group for 4 quarters. This is a much different team than the last few years.

[Medvedenko]

Nice win....but seriously..how could this team beat the US team a few years back...damn.

[saporvida]

what happened lil' bitch? *cough cough* i mean arroyo.

[freedom&justice]

Carlos Arroyo sucks

You should've seen him play for your team. All he does is dribble, dribble, dribble.....shoot!! Then he'll go over to the other end and give the other team freebies. :madrun :pctoss :bang :ihit

noo... that can't happen :)

Yea because it was the refs that caused 26 missed 3 pointers. :lol

[sa_butta]

Yea because it was the refs that caused 26 missed 3 pointers. :lol
The refs could have called 18 more fouls, and even if the Puerto Rican team made very single free throw they would still lose. They also missed 51 field goals. Where they practicing with a beach ball??

[JamStone]

Close game. Could have gone either way. You'll get 'em next time, I'm sure.

[mardigan]

The US played about as bad as Ive seen them play all tourney, and they still blew them out. The refs were making bad calls both ways. Blaming the loss on them is probably the weakest way out of a stupid prediction ever

[samikeyp]

Very true but when you are a dumbass...you don't have a lot of choice. :lol

[JamStone]

Both teams played hard.

[DarkReign]

Losing by under 10 pts with some questionable reffing, you could cite the refs as culpable.

Getting blown out by over 30 for a majority of the game....

[41times]

Well it was a close game........ :lol :lol

United States 117, Puerto Rico 78
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 28, 2007 -- The Americans made Athens look like ancient history.

Three years after its stunning loss in the Olympics, the United States smothered Puerto Rico in a 117-78 victory Tuesday night in the FIBA Americas tournament.


There is absolutely no reason that the USA should ever lose a game in international competition. A loss is inexcusable in my opinion. With the talent we have it's simply a matter of focus.

[fatsack]

when all else fails, blame the refs.

weak.

Agreed.

[Switchman]

It was funny at the end when they blocked that one dude trying for the last two points and he threw up his hands like

wtf!? Thinking they were going to give it to him.

That was funny, they gave Derron Williams a dunk at the other end, and then when they came down Chandler blocked the shit out of him, pretty funny stuff

[Medvedenko]

Yeah that was a punk move by Chandler....I wonder what would have happened if someone contested that dunk by Deron...I guess go strong or don't come at all.

[samikeyp]

Playing defense is a punk move?

[freedom&justice]

Chandler barely plays. He's the US team's end of the bench guy; there was no way he was gonna let that go.
Puerto Rico let Deron get a dunk though, I guess the guy figured he'd pad his stats a little..unfortunately, I think Chandler was thinking the same thing. :lol

[samikeyp]

I guess I am old school. I believe you play until the whistle blows.

Just a personal opinion, not a suggested course of action.

[Oh, Gee!!]

when all else fails, blame the refs.

weak.


yeah, that's what they do in Arizona.

[Xylus]

yeah, that's what they do in Arizona.
?

[JamStone]

I guess I am old school. I believe you play until the whistle blows.

Just a personal opinion, not a suggested course of action.

I think you can modify that way of thinking when your team is up 40 points and there's 2 seconds left and the other team just let your teammate have an uncontested dunk.

I don't have a huge problem with it. But, I don't think he should have done it.

[saporvida]

agreed. this dont shoot 3's, don't dunk, bs is what sore losers like to scream because they cant ever win.

i say play and play hard at that. kick them when they are down and throw a few bows too just for fun.

You can modify your thinking, but are not required to do so.

Again, a personal opinion, not a suggested course of action.

[Indazone]

good beatdown by team USA. This team is very talented. Not as talented as the first Dream Team but still very talented.
