no reason to care
Nuggets are going nowhere
why cant you see that?
dang it! Melo better sit out for a bit. The Nuggets medical staff spoke to the USA medical staff and there is no swelling, no signs of anything serious. Im sure they will rest him
sounds like they struggles without him though
Cant the Nuggets ever have someone who doesnt get injured?![]()

If Melo is the heart and soul of team USA, I put my money on Argentina or Lithuania
Yeah you all have had some tough breaks with that china doll frontcourt. Between China Doll Camby and one legged Kenyon you have no luck.
wtf??! man some people just cant stand the thought that maybe Melo is the hardest working one out there and actually proving to people that he is dedicated and ready to play his butt off for his country.
I think it would be a good sign to see the one who gets 'hated' on the most, to finally start making people realise he is growing up and is learning from his mistakes.
One single person shouldnt be the heart and soul of the team. There would be a problem if it was one single person, no matter who that was.
Sorry, but I have no confidence in Melo when it comes to bringing Team USA to the promised land. So team USA SHOULD NOT struggle w/out Melo, if they do, they are in trouble.
oh well, thats your opinion. If any of the games are close or tied towards the end, id go with Melo over anyone else. Games may never be that close but if they are then we will see who leads them to 'the promised land'![]()
Be happy that the Nuggets are in the easiest division in the western conference. They'd finish in 4th or 5th place in the Mavs & Spurs division.
Haiku screenname.
got the rhythm down too. 5-7-5
Haiku it is not
without the proper cadence
Is not hard to do
But Haiku's haikus ARE better than mine!![]()
This worries me, are we really supposed to squeak by Brazil because of the absence of 1 player? You would think we would have enough talent to fill in for Carmelo.
The game was close because Bowen didn't play
Seriously though, USA shot like crap. If you take out Carmelo's 6-for-11 then they shot 37% for the game.
Also they got outrebounded by 16.
Damn, the refs helped the US big in this one.
Does somebody know why he did not play?
Maybe it's a hint, snip snip

I seriously think that they wouldv'e won by more if they put Bowen on ANYBODY. Giovannoni, Machado, Dos Santos, Barbosa, even Garcia! Someone!
Cuz he's old and coach K doesn't see the need to play him much (if at all) in exhibition game. I think it's a good sign in regards to him making the team.
Anderson Varejao = closest thing to another Rodman
People need to get used to the idea of Bowen getting cut, but I still see this place going postal when it happens.
It's obvious that Coach K likes his little pissant Dukie Battier more, and will keep him as the 'defensive stopper', which is a joke, but I digress...
