Too bad Italy lost.
It took the very best of Carmelo Antonio, though.
I still miss the 2-3 zone in the second half.
A bit distressing.
He isn`t getting much time now either.He will not get much time when the real games come...

Someone said to the referees: That kind of stupidity can't happen again!
I mean Rasho got his NBA foul per default treatment while both skippers fouled at will under the basket.
And don't let me start on making Nachbar's basket in the 1qt worth 2points?! You were handed our win, and now Italians collected the scrubs. I really hope we meet again in this tournament.
USA is not playing dirty, mostly is playing sloppy and on flair while not really paying taxes on the rules. Melo's dunk on 4 steps?! Melo collecting a ball out of bounds?! All in just our game. The first game USA played with 6 players? Normaly that is a technical at least. And I didn't even mention Brezec and his blocks and etc.
USA doesn't deserve the gold while disrespecting the game by ignoring the rules, while putting all these pressure on the officials.
I agreeDirty play should be dirty play no matter who used it. Refs should just stick by the rules, and a dirty player would end his game faster then you can say KRANJSKA.
wow, USA was saved by MELO!?? hummmmm boys, be ready for Spain and ARG!!!
BTW USA improved a lot, in terms of understanding FIBA's rules and style.
Congrats boys!
International play sucks. FIBA sucks. If I were a player after watching these games, I would never participate again. The world plays a very girly version of a game called basketball. WNBA is right up FIBA's alley.Someone said to the referees: That kind of stupidity can't happen again!

ing basket interference is not only allowed, its encouraged?! ing stupid. Keep FIBA, keep the WC, keep the Olympics. I hate this .
Yes because the US team is the only ones doing this.Without Carmelo hiting 8 or 9 three's... they are out of the game.
And the at ude...they were pathetic with complaining all the time.
The last time I saw that many Italians crying was at my wedding. :p

No please, no! I will commit suicide now!
Here is what I don't get.
On one hand, some fans of the international game say "The US will not dominate like they used to"
Then win the US wins by less than 20...they criticize the US team for not being dominant "you only won by 15..hahaha"
Make up your damn minds. Margin of victory is irrelevant. Wins and losses are the only thing that matters. USA is 4-0 and beat two good teams to do that.

I bet it was the terrible food.
Italy got hosed. That pressure defense consists of jamming the dribbler while everyone else holds and grabs. It's still Italy's fault that they lost, because they started admiring their work in the third quarter and got their asses handed to them. Doesn't change the fact that they didn't complain nearly as much as I think they had a right to.Yes because the US team is the only ones doing this.

"they were pathetic with complaining all the time."
Yeah, but they're USA ballas, aka whiny es, so they don't give no respect to nobody. The refs just get in the way.
I'm very impressed by the tough at udes the opponents are showing. Nobody's backing down. Good game. w/o Carmelo going nutz in the 3rd, USA loses.
Carmelo's still a y ball-hog balla. Typical was Camelo shooting a super-long 3G off the glass in the last 2 minutes. Its all about Carmelo.
If the opponent can take care of the ball, avoid the TOs and giving up fastbreak points off TOs, the USA is very beatable.
Well said! Anyone who ignore this facts is just another brick in the wall of stupidity and ignorance.Someone said to the referees: That kind of stupidity can't happen again!

The USA got ed in Athens by the officials and you guys ing ate it up and said that they were complainers and should just deal with the fact that they aren't as good as they think. The shoe doesn't feel so good when it's on the other foot, does it?
I thought the refs were decent.
They are fans too.
Sometimes I felt they stopped and just watched Wade jumping.
Never mind when that first dribble actually touched the ground, with respects of feet moving....
You sort of expect that.
That's why USA BBall nominated him
That's why USA could not get the GOLD
Why ? Becouse they traveled a lot?
Yeah okay. You hate the USA. Move the on.
You don't know their coaches.
They picked these players.
No complain.
No sorry.
Botte e sorrisi.
You know USA dominated for so long, so what you expect? some people want to watch USA not getting a medal (I am filling the form after USA cut Bruce); besides that I love to see NBA's Stars representing their country.
the only serious team USA defeated up to now is ITALY.
Holding and grabbing is part of the game? What game are you talking about?
I don't know what you mean by this. Italy didn't complain very much to the officials about the calls in my opinion. I don't have to know who their coach is to make that observation.
I never ever said anything like that!
I hate only TPark and little dwarf of this forum.(Not really)
