Reply With QuoteI will bet you any amount...name the bet.
just a reminder:
2 months ago I said Team USA would not even make the Gold-Medal round.....and everyone said I was full of it. The Games haven't even started yet but I'm sticking to my prediction....and I'll bet resistance is much smaller now!
I will bet you any amount...name the bet.
Bold statement. If you are correct, you should get props for it...my question to you is, will you be in here posting accordingly if you are incorrect?
how could you have "told us so" that the US wont win gold when the games havent even started yet?
:Q
that's kind of like when rascal said during the playoffs that the Spurs had not done well in elimination games...when they had not yet played one!
Yes - I'll be around regardless....
"I told you so" refers to the swing in popular opinion. Now, it is not a bold prediction at all to predict they will not win the gold.
I actually made my prediction back in 2003. No matter who plays (I would make an exception for Shaq because, since there is no 3-second rule, he would be unstoppable), I don't think the USA Players have the mentality to dominate or even compete with the other elite teams.
Until they have a real "Team," they will always struggle to win and may never win the Gold. The problem is, US players are worshipped from 6th grade on and they don't learn how to play the right way.....in some cases....ever.
actually....since I am tooting my own horn now....I predicted they would lose in 2002. Even I was shocked though when they lost 3 straight!
So I guess you predicted they would lose to Argentina in the PR Olympic qulaifiers too then.
You're full of it anyway
:gun
good one blohawk!
Herdmentality,
Maybe you should not tell us anything else...US just pounded the Serb team. They are the world champs if I'm not mistaken. Just think, if you would have kept your trap shut and waited until the US was eliminated, you would have made yourself look gooood. Now, since you prematurely blessed us with your prediction, oh Nostradamus, everybody will be calling you out when the US kicks ass and wins the gold.
It's not like I want our guys to lose.....I just call it like I see it. The Serbia win might be fools-gold. Did Vlade or Balkee (aka - Peja) play?
What about the Turkey game?
If the US wins....I'll be the first to admit I was off....and I'll be glad.
Nevertheless....the fundamental flaw will still be there.
Blohawk:
"Herdmentality" + "keep your trap shut"
1. How is "herdmentality" a cut-down?
2. The 1950s called.....they want their expression back.
If the US loses it will likley as not be because some Euro-ref sticks a couple of cheap fouls on Duncan during a knock out round game taking him out of the contest. That's the biggest fundamental flaw.
The USA is definitely the favorite. However, they can be beaten if their opponent gets red-hot from 3-pt land like Italy. I don't see it happening though if the USA keeps improving on defense at their current pace.
what was that......all I hear are the crickets chirmping.
I still say USA wins gold.
I think you mean chirping.
nothing has been decided yet.
I think someone is couting their chickens before they hatch
All I know is Alamo50 is a Holland .
I still want to see them win it.....and I would love to seem them totally cream Spain, Serbia + Argentina.....
but then I saw highlights of the Greece game and......all hope is slipping fast!
hope is fading....
and the grease is flowing:moon
I have to say - yesterday's game vs Spain was the best Olympic Basketball I could ever remember - hopefully todays dream matchup with surpass that!
Well......
I told yall so
