Why is Team USA with coach K better than those of Gregg Popovich?

[Obstructed_View]

See, it happened again. Is he secretly banned and he doesnt' know it?

[samikeyp]

Why is it that when Louis talks , then is wrong....he disappears like a little ?

Prediction that goes completely wrong and backfires in his face? Yep, it's usenet Louis, all right.

Count . . . chickens . . . hatch.

The goal of a troll is not to be right or wrong but to draw attention : 55 replies is a quite good score.

I said at the beginning, no matter what happens not one word by the national sheep media will dare to criticize Saint K.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the same USA hatefest from Americans that we saw after the olympics.

Perhaps understanding of the enduring consistency of our suckitude is seeping in.

I bet if it was an NBA coach the howls would be deafening.

The party line is: everything about the NBA sucks, everything about college is cool. They just need to find a way to spin it in those terms.

I hope we continue with a real dream team... not those underage brats Melo, James, and Wade leading the way. We need some realtime ballers like Duncan, KG, and Kobe.

ShoogarBear, I see the same old excuses coming out.

'We're just not sending the right players. We would win easily if we sent [insert player names here.]"

Soon I predict they will turn on Coach K.

Somewhere out there.... Bowen is grinning.

[austinfan]

Is there a chance the coaches could call Bowen back? Is he still in the pool of players available to Team USA? Until the coaching staff really gets the concept of building a team for international compe ion--not just throwing a bunch of stars together with a token role player or two--we're going to continue to struggle in 2008.

This Team despite losing was way better than those in which Popovich was an assistant

You pretty much guaranteed they won't medal now, dumbass.

[cheguevara]

I know you will say Popovich was an assistant but so what??

He was part of those horrible "defensive minded" teams that only embarrassed this great nation.

Even without a dominant Center, Team USA is beating the crap out of the world.

Coach K has made me a believer again.

nah. he's a bigger person than that.

Too late

Team Argentina worked 52 years to get it. USA will have more luck in 2008, but they have to learn (some day) that selfish play is like poison in FIBA.



Go Spain (if you beat us, you can beat they!!!)
