Another one who doesn`t read all the posts, or reads them poorly.....
For the record I really enjoy what 99% of international members bring. The following is intended only for those international trolls who are constantly spouting that “USA sucks” BS.
Ok this USA hating is getting real old real fast. Its one thing to show pride for your national team, it’s another thing to come into an American site and trash our national team. You don’t see me going to a Slovenian (or whatever other country’s) basketball club site and dogging on their national team. This is no different than Dallas fans that come in here hating on the Spurs. Doing this just makes you a troll and as with all trolls you most respond accordingly.
So if you don’t like Team USA:
you ing haters
If you don’t like US foreign policy:
this is a basketball site…take your to a political site
If you don’t like the US:
and stop trying to be American (i.e. wearing American clothe, watching American shows, following American sports teams, imitating American musicians)
Oh and for some of you dumb s who can’t keep your mouths shut:
Do you even know what a "gringo" is? I don’t think there are too many "gringos" on that squad dumbass. And from everything I have seen the U.S. squad has carried itself admirably. They are working really hard not to come off as “ugly” Americans.some modesty and respect to others once in a while wouldnt hurt teh gringos
Maybe because they were losing jackass.why arent players saluting today?
That’s so ing hypocritical its almost funny. It’s ok for Brazilian players to celebrate because their “mentality” is different. How do I even respond to something that stupid??? I cant, I wont, you are just a dumbass!what brazil does and the mentality of brazil players is much diferent than of these guys
WTF does Brazil’s foreign policy have to do with basketball??? Take that to a political site.Brazil's foreign policy and the situation is also very very diferent from USA's
HAHAHAHA! This one is just funny. The poor officials and their FIBA rules. I am so sure the USA team members are such experts in FIBA rules that they know which ones to break. Could you possibly be more ignorant?USA doesn't deserve the gold while disrespecting the game by ignoring the rules, while putting all these pressure on the officials.
Huh??? Without Timmy the Spurs wouldn’t have won any of their les and without Wade the Heat wouldn’t have won it all this year. So what’s your ing point?Without Carmelo hiting 8 or 9 three's... they are out of the game.
Another one who doesn`t read all the posts, or reads them poorly.....
Just finished watching the game. Good game!!!
Italians are fearless and too much selfish play from USA.
In my opinion that italian dude that shot all the threes kept team USA in the game in the 3rd quarter, until Melo bailed them out.
Stupid italian dude, wtf was he doing shotting from midcourt? he wasn't even close. He's the reason Italy lost the lead in the 3rd.
Where the was Lebron, "the supposedly chosen one"? oh that's right, no NBA officials at the game.
So LeBron has no actual talent...just the NBA refs on his side.
of course he has talent duh, but imo he's way overhyped. Carmelo, Wade, etc are outplaying his ass bigtime
I don`t think it matters, since LeBron is in the company of Wade and Anthony. Why would he have to be the chosen one for everything. He is the chosen one for Cleveland.Where the was Lebron, "the supposedly chosen one"? oh that's right, no NBA officials at the game.
His role in his NBA team is not the same in NT.
I agree he is overhyped, but he is also extremely talented. But yes, so far, DWade and Melo are having a better tournament.
Besides...individual accomplishments are irrelevant. All that matters is the team and the team is 4-0.
Gringo
(feminine, gringa) is a term in the Spanish and Portuguese languages used to refer to
used to refer to native English speakers (from the United States in particular, but also from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and elsewhere as well). The American Heritage Dictionary classifies the term as offensive slang [1], though some who use it do not consider it pejorative.
In informal Spanish speech, "gringo" offers a convenient shorthand to refer to a person from the U.S., since the term "American" is used to refer to anyone from the entire American continent (North, Central and South), while the more specific term "estadounidense" ("United Statian") is bersome to pronounce.
"Gringo" is used to refer to any native English speaker (regardless of race), though it is most frequently used with respect to white westeners (in particular those from the United States).
so you're saying there are not too many native English speakers or US citizens on your team?
He is the most stabile guy on the team. Should be a leader in the final part when different zones would occur.
Why? You think he should be forcing his game, when Carmelos shot was falling???He is the most stabile guy on the team. Should be a leader in the final part when different zones would occur.
I would like to risk a debate on all of this.
1. Am I a troll? Like the site, especially the foreigners from Argentina and France.
2. There is hardly any political debate on San Antonio Spurs. Only in Political Forum. Unless you mean about the saluting. That really wasn't offensive, it more of thumbs-up in GITSMO. But its sports and all of them are quite young.
3.Why can't I sing Karaoke? My Elvis is great.
4.USA players were not ugly monsters and no one said they are cunning lawyers tricking an FIBA judge. We are saying USA is creating a huge buzz which can be pretty intimidating for a referee, when he doesn't know what are the standards. As you might see, the defense can be pretty physical, but travelling and stepping out of bounds...that is unthinkable. USA were given a lot of gifts in a game against Slovenia and we were sort of expecting it. This game was just for the soul. For most of them this is the biggest event in their lifes and playing was enough.
Trolls pay respect to a "Sway" who posted 90 posts. I hope I didn't make you mad? Does your head hurts?just kidding
I hear you. Go paint your face red!
The point is (you must have figured out), Melo will not have that kind of % in all of the games. So.... You know.
A post for all of the LeBron haters...
He is averaging 13.25 points, 1.5 assists, 4.25 rebounds, and 2.25 steals per game. He is the best player on the team. There are other players that may have more points, or more rebounds, or more assists, but nobody does it all like LeBron.
Sorry. Bad English. I am saying he will be the rightful leader just about the qtrfinals and semis when all the teams will try the zone. Now he is the most stabile guy and that is enough.
Heat and Cavs fans are still hating on MeloOne quote was "Without Carmelo someone else takes those shots and hopefully makes them."
most of the Lebron and Wade jockriders must be 12 year old kids who have manlove for them or something![]()
i dont like the american team because i dont like many of the core players like lebron, wade and melo (overhyped etc)
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE AMERICANS-i dont hate americans
i like players like gino, timmy, steve nash, bowen, marion etc
In lamence terms: In World Championships
Carmelo>Lebron
Carmelo>Wade

To avoid a debate on the meaning I will just use your own definition:so you're saying there are not too many native English speakers or US citizens on your team?
"Gringo" is used to refer to any native English speaker (regardless of race), though it is most frequently used with respect to white westeners (in particular those from the United States).
1. If you are talking smack about Team USA for no other reason than your underlying anti-U.S. sentiment then yes you are a troll. But, if your team is playing Team USA and you are talking smack, then no you are just a fan showing loyalty to his national team. Get the difference. I actually admire the loyalty foreigners’ show for their national teams. I wish more Americans would do the same.I would like to risk a debate on all of this.
1. Am I a troll? Like the site, especially the foreigners from Argentina and France.
2. There is hardly any political debate on San Antonio Spurs. Only in Political Forum. Unless you mean about the saluting. That really wasn't offensive, it more of thumbs-up in GITSMO. But its sports and all of them are quite young.

2. Huh??? Not really sure what you are talking about here. Did you mean thumbs-up in GITMO? The thumbs up I think you are referring to did not happen at GITMO, Cuba it occurred at Abu Ghraib, Iraq. Again you are talking about a political (or criminal) issue that has nothing to do with Team USA.
3. You can sign Karaoke all you want. You should even try out for American Idol.
4. So if the referees don’t know the standards and they are not calling traveling/stepping out of bounds how is this Team USA’s fault? Don’t pull out the old “you only won because of gifts or because of the refs”.
So what does my post count, making me mad, or head hurting have to do with trolling? Try to stay on message kid.
You are right Melo won’t bring it every game, but when he doesn’t I think Wade or Lebron will.The point is (you must have figured out), Melo will not have that kind of % in all of the games. So.... You know.
I can see LeBron and even Melo...but I would have to disagree about DWade...if anything he came into the league underhyped.i dont like the american team because i dont like many of the core players like lebron, wade and melo
I really hope the rest of the world hopes we lose. Seriously. I like it.![]()
Carmelo is on fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
