I wouldn't particularly define today's game against Italy as an "ass-kicking".
No, that team is great. Really great. They are perhaps a kindergarten version of that Dreamteam. But Ginobili is no kindergarten guy. Dirk is mature. Kutulay is more mature than this team. They will not win without a serious meltdown of all of those guys.
If Italy is supposed to be the first or second best team in this tournament (Argentina is the other), then yup, thats an ass-whooping.
Got beat by double digits. How many NBA games end with less than 10 points between them? Dont know, buts its alot (i would think anyway).
Shows how much you know...If Italy is supposed to be the first or second best team in this tournament (Argentina is the other), then yup, thats an ass-whooping.
Italy second best? Italy got to the WC via wild card. there are what, 2 players from that olympics silver team left?
WTF...you have no ing idea what youre talking about anymore.
Who the won Finals MVP?! Over your mature Dirk, who beat your vaunted Ginobli. The ing difference is Dirk doesnt have Terry, Stack and Co. The difference is Ginobli doesnt have the best damn BIG in the world, Tim Duncan or starting PG on France, Tony "I lead the league in points in the paint" Parker.
Youre ing delusional. Hate hate hate...we see thru it. Youll be crying, it will funny, dont expect sympathy. Get used to it.
Hey, I am just going by what analysts said about the compe ion. I personall dont know, but when 5 out of 7 analysts say "Yup, Italy, damn fine team. Could be top 3 in the tourny if they get it right." I will go with their opinon over anyone elses. Theyre paid big $$ to do so.
You see through as much as I can see through womens clothes....![]()
Link to those "analyists", please.
Are you 10 or 11 y/o?
Yeah sure, and so is half the other teams in the WC......Hey, I am just going by what analysts said about the compe ion. I personall dont know, but when 5 out of 7 analysts say "Yup, Italy, damn fine team. Could be top 3 in the tourny if they get it right." I will go with their opinon over anyone elses.

So what if they`re paid big bucks? You agree with everyone then who gets a lot of money?
The *Love of Country* bullcrap.
``I say all the time, and I tell my friends and teammates, that you have to go global,'' James said. ``In basketball and business.''
James and his new company, LRMR Marketing, have made China and Japan huge targets. As they outlined at a seminar last month in Akron, James has a strategy to increase his exposure in Asia by Aug. 8, 2008, the opening of the Beijing Olympics.
That's why it was a lock that he would be playing for Team USA this summer in the world championship. Additionally, the Cavaliers are in talks to open the NBA season next year playing in China, and he's planning on being back in 2008 for the Olympics.
``It is only going to help my business,'' James said. ``Once I knew the world games were going to be in Japan, I knew I was going to be on board .''

am I reading wrong or did Lebron say he went to WC mainly to help his biz???
Wade--- the rest of the starting 5 are veteran players in Heat. Wade is actually like the TP of the Spurs. He has talent and dare, but needs to gain the experiance.
Ginobili didn't have Duncan when he played Olympics and that tournament in the USA.
Hate? LOVE, dear God, LOVE. I absolutely love this team and I was pissed that players on this team have no respect only for the rules of the game...simple gentlemen sense for playing like sportsmen. They are talents without limit, kindergarten Dreamteam...
What more would you like? I am not crying and rarely I would cry about NT failures. Slovenia had a player who nearly played for the Bulls, but became a huge bully and I couldn't care less about him now. Basketball is a game and it takes a smart mature team to explore their optimum. You have no mature leader and that is all I am saying.. Did it hurt too much?!
Slovenia will meet you again, I hope. That would be too fine. I would take the plane ticket just for that game. No questions asked.
you are so wrong.
Italy is not even a top 5 team. They are in a "rebuilding" stage.
they are freaking kids. Didn't you see them give up the lead to the US by shooting crazy shots from way outside??
Greece, Spain, Turkey, Argentina, Germany, France, Lithuania
all better
*cough* bull *cough*
*cough* ignorant *cough**cough* bull *cough*
And cough...stupid...cough
Though I don`t completely agree with it either. The truth is, Italy might quite possibly beat any team if they have their day. Including the US. Not likely though, considering they really are in rebuild mode. I think even their coach said it. They got here on a "wild card", not because they managed to qualify through the European Championship.
Hmm, not sure, but is that going at me?And cough...stupid...cough
