That's exactly what they were doing...they didn't want to blow Spain out. Go back and watch their D...and then tell me if that is the D you play when you want to blow someone out.

You are insaine

You can made up a point and keep proving it

C'mon man, they were trying hard. Why are you running this argument? The US were tested and came out on top - accept that and move on.

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah, I was thinking "Doug West... didn't he play PG for Adelaide back in 1994?"

David West's midrange game would really have fit this US team well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Krzyzewski

Early years

Krzyzewski, the son of Polish immigrants, attended Weber High School in Chicago, Illinois before it became a middle school. He then attended The United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, and played basketball while training to become an officer in the Army. He was captain of the Army basketball team in his senior season, 1968-69, leading his team to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) at Madison Square Garden in New York City. From 1969-74, Krzyzewski served in the Army and directed service teams for three years and then followed that up with two years as head coach of the U.S. Military Academy Prep School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

In 1974, he resigned from the Army having attained the rank of captain. Bob Knight, his former coach at Army, offered Krzyzewski, then 26 years old, a graduate assistant position at Indiana University. That 1975 squad posted an 18-0 Big Ten mark and a 31-1 overall record.

Prior to joining the Duke program, Krzyzewski spent five years building the program at his alma mater in West Point. He led the Black Knights to one NIT berth and left with a five-year record of 73-59 (.553).

Krzyzewski is a devout Roman Catholic. He is involved in fundraising for Catholic charitable organizations in North Carolina, including Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.

They really (really) play D?

[T Park]

Ah man, this always gets me...

[baseline bum]

They aren't hating on Poland, dip . They're hating on you, because you've spent the evening hating on the USA. If you were representative of everyone in Poland, I'd hate the whole stinky little hole of a country too. As it is, I just hate you and I couldn't give a about the rest of the stinky little hole of a country you live in.

Does that make you feel better?

[polandprzem]

They get tested all the time.

Kori are you for real?

Are you realy is into sports?

WTF LJ. You're a Spurs fan and you're acting like being a better team isn't more valuable than raw talent? For the most part this Spain team has played together for quite a bit of time. Not only that but their games are much better suited to the international rules. That goes a bit of the way to making up for the talent disparity.

The Spurs never face a team where Tim Duncan is worse than the other team's worse player. I wanted the US to destroy Spain. How it ended up, the world is still confident they can catch beat the US. The world knows you can have like 5% of the talent and still beat the US.

Again, the US isn't simply about winning. The US is about domination

Well, unless anyone believes whottt's scenario of the US tanking

[Kibic]

The best player on Spain wouldn't have made the US team. In this game they had one NBA All-Star (P. Gasol), two NBA washouts (Navarro and Lopez) and young future NBA talent (Fernandez, M. Gasol and Rubio). That's decently talented but less talent than Argentina and not too far away from a team like Lithuania.

Of the top 100 basketball players in the world, Spain had one player.

That I agree with.

The gold medal game was USA vs Argentina

I am surprised by this reactions. If Kobe would have not put two of his last 3s in (what could easily happen) and Spain put just one more....

I still thin it was a great finals.
Congrats to USA.

We were missing a dominant big man. If we had that big man in the paint, this would have been a 20-30 point blowout. Too many rebounds and easy layups for Spain.

Kori are you for real?

Are you realy is into sports?

NBA players get tested regularly. Do you know any NBA players? I know several of them personally, and they all get tested.

[Brutalis]

Well that was neat!

[polandprzem]

I think when the season will start it will be my time, my road to redemption.

[T Park]

Kori are you for real?

Are you realy is into sports?

[T Park]

Damn straight!!

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA!!!!!!
