your at ude is very tiresome...
I don't think the USA would beat Spain tomorrow, how you guys feel about Duncan leading a team who will be eliminated for the firts time since NBA players were allowed to compete in the Olympics?
Who should be blamed for this failure, the players who rejected the invitation to join Team USA or the players who went to Athens and couldn't defend the gold medal?
your at ude is very tiresome...
Olympics as sham argument aside, selection committee and pussy players who were afraid.
IMO Duncan should have been enough to win the gold, The Spurs are Duncan + role players and still manage to win.
Team USA is Duncan + role players and somehow still manage to lose.
Don't feel bad for Duncan's failure to lead Team USA to the gold medal, look at it as a positive for Spurs fans, you will have Duncan back early to rest his ailing knee and ready for the NBA season.
why post this
duncan is not the reason the USA is playing poorly
it is becaue the outside shooters are pressing
blame them not duncan:served
Not when they don't make their outside shots.The Spurs are Duncan + role players and still manage to win.
Even your feeble mind could recognize.
How about playing some damn defense??
I can't believe they have 2 of the supposedly "best" defensive coaches in the NBA and still can't defend the outside shooters!
they need bowen
but the committee left him at home:next3
You should be ashamed for even making such a prediction. Had Kobe resisted the temptation of adultery last summer would we even be having this discussion?
Had Shaq, KG, and J O'Neal not chickened out would this even be a concern?
Had Rip Hamilton or Mike Bibby (the shooters we needed) not chickened out as well would other teams dare crowd the trapezoidal-shaped lane?
In the end it doesn't matter because I actually enjoy watching a compe ive game over one where a blowout is guaranteed.
Also.... Will Larry Brown ever play Wade, Melo, or LeBron in crunch time and run folks out of the gym.
In either case, if Team USA loses... Duncan would only be guilty by association... (check out his FG percentage for the games...it's not his fault)... I don't know why his teammates have had such a hard time giving him decent entry passes. (BTW that's one of the reasons we brought Horry and Ginobili back, cuz the art of the entry pass is an ill-taught fundamental lacking in todays younger players).
Brown and Pop can only coach players who WANT to play defense.
The spoiled punks on this team dont WANT to play defense.
Its not a team of Duncan and Role Players.
Its a team of Duncan and spoiled rich dopes.
If the USA loses to Spain, there will be an asterisk * on the Olympics. 8)
This team needs Derek Fisher !
Hey atleast id have something good to look at when i decide to stay up all night to watch the game.
Im not doing it this time ive got to be at school at 9am meaning i have to be up at 6:30 so i can be there an hour and a half early so i can find parking!
you tell em tpark
No problem Johnnie Cochran.
Or you could be like Denzel Washington,
"The white man is holding me down"
You and Denzel both have something in common.
No way team USA loses to Spain. Get real.
Suck on that!
Asterix....you going to be a man now or be a pussy and hide?
he is still in bed
Poor Tpark, his little bubble got burst.
Tpark, I think you hate Team USA more than Kerry hates America.
I know Pooh is upset too.
My household agrees. Makes the game more interesting, IMO.In the end it doesn't matter because I actually enjoy watching a compe ive game over one where a blowout is guaranteed.
But, of course, everyone expects that USA should be blowing everyone away.
Man, **** you asterix you no good sucker.
Good win but this is not over yet.
Team USA won't win the Gold.
