USA v Greece

[whottt]

on a side note, anybody find it funny that Jason Kidd still hasn't even ATTEMPTED a single shot in Olympic play?

He knows he sucks...but his 3 shooting is going to come in handy....he is a good 3 shooter.

[polandprzem]

We don't give a about Water Polo either...


Or Rugby...and we're the defending champs in Olympic Rugby.


I don't know what to tell you. Somestuff people care about, and some stuff they don't...same as everywhere else.



What's really ed up is that football is the best game ever and none of you guys care about it...

Why?

Stupidity?
Arrogance?
iness?


I mean...ya'll care about Water Polo but not NFL? That's screwed up.

It's not about care or giving about a discipline.

It's about (in short) - we lost? that - nobody cares. It doesn't matter.

Well it does.

If there was no Phelps in the Olympics you would not be so high at swimming.

About Poland and the Olympics
- we had great champs in the past. And I'm proud of them.
Not many people in Poland getting a chance to develop their talent. And even when they have it's not being done in the right way. Mostly because of money not being is sports in Poland.





So what Americans don't know about World Championships - trhey are still there.
Most people do not give a about NBA. You ask treens right now - the name Jordan is not 100% known.

stupidest thing ive ever seen. more people know Jordan than... well anyone who has EVER come from Poland, period. you think people dont give a about the NBA? more people care about the NBA than they do about the entire country of Poland.

Yeah thats probably true...the names they do know 100% are Kobe, Lebron...

[stretch]

seriously, this guy seems almost as butthurt as KBP. thats pretty damn bad. someone must be ramming a ing rugby ball up his ass.

[whottt]

In the FIBA WC, no one cares even if we win.


It matters more if we lose in the Olympics but otherwise...

Well it does.

If there was no Phelps in the Olympics you would not be so high at swimming.

True...


Just like we don't give a about the Tour De France anymore...


Why is that a crime?


And you think it's only America that is that way?


How many Argies you think cared about basketball prior to 2002? Now look at them.

What about France before Tony Parker?


Same way everywhere.

Doesn't matter if they are there or not...you can't judge Team USA in the Olympics by it's performance in the WC. That's the point...

This is the same country the same discipline.
2nd most important basketball turnament.


btw. I'm from Poland - you care about my opinion? wtf?
I'm nobody.

[rj215]

Boozer is horrible.

+1 and Howard looks like he borrowed Nazr Mohammad's hands. He looks lost on defense and at one point in the game guys on the bench like Prince and D. Williams had to yell out defensive rotations to him.

Bosh who I thought looked weak and unimpressive in the Vegas pre-Olympics was great. He made the all the proper defensive rotations and let us play the style we wanted to on both ends of the floor.

I'll always wonder what this team would've been like if Tim and KG were on the squad instead of Boozer and Howard. Would any team get within 30?

[stretch]

No cuz Timmy would foul out in 5 minutes of play and KG would choke.

the way you insult americans so much, why do you care about our opinions?

kindly shut yourself the up.

Whatever...at least we host the WC... we even host the Wold Cup.


When was the last time you guys hosted the World Series or the Superbowl?

When was the last time you guys even offered to host it?


What arrogance.

2nd most important according to who? People in Poland? ESPN? You? Sorry WC's just aren't important in this country, just the same way soccer in the olympics is not as big as the World Cup

[polandprzem]

About basket.


Americans looks realy good so far. The best so far.

The defense is realy outstanding. They are pushing the play way beyond 3 pt line where most "FIBA teams" feels realy comfortable. Now they are out of their comfort zone and out of the normal team playmaking and spreading the floor. Also the fastbreaks are much better. Good for them to take Kidd with Paul Wade and Deron. Not much stupid breaks I saw so far. It's better organized.

And still Americans are the most athletic squad. In Barcelona it was why the adventage was so huge. "Europe" cought up at that regard butr still americans with their roids are fantastic.

Umm we gonna see what will happend but right now. I see americans and Spain as the best teams. Still it's a turnament and every game must be great to win the gold.

Yeah I hate to break it to you...but we didn't get caught near as much as you guys think we did.

The 04 team was a horribly constructed team and a lot of people thought they would lose.

It could not shoot, and it could not pass...if you cannot shoot and you cannot pass, you cannot beat any team that can. Since most International Teams can do those two things very well, if nothing else...wasn't hard to see why we lost.

The 04 team lost to Puerto Rico......


That's like the Polish National Team losing to the Warsaw city team...


It's exactly like that.

[whottt]

You talking about inner pro sports not the global sport.

But why isn't it a global sport?

Because no one else cares.

[whottt]

We are not able to host it.

How do you know? Have you tried?


You might be surprised at what the NFL might be willing to do to get the game going global.

[polandprzem]

But why isn't it a global sport?

You can't promote it?
You are not good in promoting it?

Notice how he isn't interested in football or baseball?

It doesn't mean that those sports are meaningless. They mean a lot for many people.
You act like WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS doesn't mean .
They do! !

And I do not give much of a damn about European basket or polish basket.
Every sport on a high level caughting my attention. You would not belive how many sports I can be excited at.








Have you seen Barcelona? About being better athleticly.
I mean come on.

And yes you are cought up.

It's still not that close, but Europe definately made more steps then NBA (americans).
and that's the truth

I do agree that taking Marburys was a mistake. Yo could not buy a bucket and you were ballhogging and the D was not that great. Right now with that aggresive D and with killing screenrolls the other teams must to be very well organized.


whottt the ? I can't watch Argies vs Croatia cause I'm posting....

[polandprzem]

How do you know? Have you tried?


You might be surprised at what the NFL might be willing to do to get the game going global.

We were not able to organize soccer european championships.
We not be hosting it with Ukraine in 2012 and I don't know if we will be able to do it. Built the stadiums, the roads and all infrastracture (I ed that word that;'s for sure).

Come visit Poland.
It's nice country - you will be surprised about our hospitality.

[whottt]

You can't promote it?
You are not good in promoting it?

Yeah? And maybe FIBA, and FIFA for that matter, are not good at promoting anything in the states...

Maybe it's that whole, "you should love this and you're arrogant and stupid because you don't", approach, that brings out our inner ugly American.

We're funny that way.

It doesn't mean that those sports are meaningless. They mean a lot for many people.

And so does FIBA WC...

You act like WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS doesn't mean .
They do! !

I don't know what to tell you...it's just not as prestigous to us as the Olympics. And the emphasis on winning it isn't there.

IF it makes you feel any better, after we lose the Olympic we generally care about it more...but basically it's practice for our Olympic Team.

[whottt]

BTW Poland...


Baseball is a globally played sport, it's played on every continent in the world pretty much except Europe...it's just Europe that doesn't give a about it...why is that do you suppose?

Arrogance?
