This USA roster is half filled with 2nd and 3rd stringers. So I guess you can be proud that your 1st string team can beat our 2nd and 3rd string team? WTG Spain!!!

Actually it was Greece who beat you, which is a lot worse than being beat by Spain.

And only 3 important players are missing for you.

You are still best at... humm, let me think... humm... well... Football! (Not the real deal, but the american thingie) Kudos to you!

That football you play there is so boring.

The three players that I meant who haven't gone to Japan are Shaq,Kobe and Duncan, appart from those 3 you had your best possible team.

I know the Olympics will possibly be a different story, but today you are the 4th best basketball team which is not that bad

2 of those 3 players (Kobe & Shaq) singlehandedly dominated the entire NBA for 4 years. And we're not throwing in the other dominant forces (Duncan, Amare, Pierce...etc) The fact that they're missing is the whole point!!! Would the Bulls of the 90's have won without Jordan & Pippen? Your comment is a joke.

Double,

again. You sound bitter. With a team with LBJ, Carmelo, D-Wade at the helm, they should dominate. Especially given the surrounding cast (Paul, Brand, BOSH, Heinrich, etc). Sure, no Kobe, Pierce, Amare, or Duncan hurts (Shaq can't hack it at this point), but on paper, their line-up should be able to beat any comers.

This tourney just shows that the US still has work to do both on the international scene, and with their understanding of the game in general.

This smacks of bitterness. Team USA was assembled specifically to win. There were tryouts. There were cuts. We f'ed up in this game big time.

I think come the Olympics in '08, the US will pretty much dominate. They'll have been playing together for 3 years by then, and Paul Pierce, Amare, and Kobe will be back on board.

oh.. and Greece beat the US.. not Spain.
