Why is this a shock? It happened before...what a shock, half the US team didn't even shake hands when it was over, they just left. Classy.
timvp where did you read that Greece is not considered a true European country?

SHOOTING
not layups or dunks
i didnt mean fg%
yeah thats exactly what i was thinking.
I think the U.S. did a pretty decent job as a team. They were just rough. None of the players jacked up shots and no one played selfishly. They just kinda reverted back to old ways at times, like Wade played like he did for the Miami Heat at times.
Today though, was an exception. They flat out stunk and didn't look like they knew what the they were doing!!
I am not pretending. I am a fan of our country SLO, and will always be, but as i live i Europe i rather see that Europe team win than some non Europe.
But what i could see from that game is that Usa have no game, they are just happy if they dunk the ball and scream around
Again, LeBron didn't chuck up a lot of jumpshots throughout the tournament.
Wade, yes, he shouldn't have been shooting from 3.
WTF are you talking about????Greece is looked down upon and some don't even consider it to be a true European country.
Now that they beat the US the Euro posters are pretending they are all one big happy continent.
another thing..... i dont know about other Euro posters but whenever (95% of the time) a Euro team plays an non-Euro team i always cheer for the Euros
even against Argentina who is one of my favourite teams
US played with their individual talent and not as a team.
Why would they when all of Greece's team were acting like they won the gold medal. Looking like a bunch of classless ass holes dancing and .
Anyways, good game. Congrats to Greece. What I don`t understand is how come the US didn`t play agressive defense? Were they not mentaly tough enough to do it after the Greeks started leading?
BTW, Tlong, where art thou?![]()
you probably mean turkey, right ?

Hmmm, they made it to the finals maybe??? They`ll get a medal, win or lose...Why would they when all of Greece's team were acting like they won the gold medal. Looking like a bunch of classless ass holes dancing and .
ok maybe i generalized too much
it was Wade much more than James
anyways... my final opinion: your head coach was a joke in terms of tactics and subbing and other game decisions
maybe he could get them play with heart and put in effort but he isnt a match for Greek or many other coaches
he won games with pure depth, talent and athleticism
The USA players probably wont understand that Dancing never that is the problem....
Oh I agree with that. I'm not a Coach K fan to begin with, but he really sucked today.my final opinion: your head coach was a joke in terms of tactics and subbing and other game decisions
He was subbing like a madman throughout the 4th quarter as if he had no game plan whatsoever to get back in. He was horrible.
See, that's because they played with heart so they're going to show some emotion, something Team USA needed today.
Spanoulis as I said like a month ago will revitalize Houston's backcourt.
It's unfortunate that Fotsis tried his luck with the Grizzlies.
Big Sofo will be a good role player for the Clips in the future.
Diamantidis and Papaloukas can play in the NBA.
Greek players have Bodiroga's mentality, tax free money-big fish in a small lake.
maybe because they didnt know how to?![]()
I think the team U.S.A needs an european coach for the difference between fiba and Nba. Ettore Messina is the greatest european coach
It was more less the US being out coached, and a whole lot of mismatches through the pick n roll than defense intensity.
Yeah and Texas is not trully considered as US state. Timvp - you are losing it!![]()
What happens now we add Kobe and hope to get better? Without a doubt we will be better but USA really needs to play as a team, I dont care how long a time they didnt have they are nba players and get paid millions of dollars to PLAY BASKETBALL, they are the best in the world and cannot come together on offense nor defense.
I'm glad all the Euros flipped out about timvp's comment, just how he intended![]()
