NBA OFF-SEASON THREAD...

That game was terrible....on both ends. US missed so many layups and point blank shots. It was pathetic. The only reason they won by that much was because Spain sucked that much more.

I agree the layups sucked, but besides that, we dominated. Sure Spain played like crap, but thats because we MADE them play like crap.
We busted their 2-3 zone, took their offense out of the equation and just simply rolled them.
It may have looked sloppy, but the win was no mistake.

We'll see now that he doesn't have arguably the most dominate player in the history of the NBA on his team.

I thought the US played pretty good. I was dissappointed in Howard, but I thought their outside game was good. They hit more 3's than I thought they would, and even Prince got in there for some good minutes. I don't really like how they have the offense managed though, but I guess it's what you would expect with a college coach running it.
Did anybody see the interview that Jim Lampley di with Lebron and Kobe?
I'll agree with the 3 shooting. They were lights out. And I also agree with the way they run. It seems to me like a pickup game. Didn't see the interview, was anything interesting said?

Yup, Kobe #2........lets' see if the second time's the charm............

Just Lebron and Kobe saying that they will be the reason why this team doesn't lose it's focus on the gold. They said that they will not let it happen to this team. Kind of putting themselves out in front, taking responsibility somewhat.
Oh, and Lampley asked them if they thought that the NBA would start to go away from the isolation type game they run now, to more of a European type game, because of the Euro teams successes. They sort of played it off and said that there were a lot of foreign guys in the League, so maybe. Lampley goes "from a fan's prespective, amen" or something like that. He's a dummy, I would have said, "find somebody that can guard me, and then we'll talk".

my fearless prediction is that team USA will win against the argentina by 15-20pts...the starting 5 of argentina can hang a little with team usa but they cant play all game when the second unit comes in thats where team usa has the advantage
