Utah Jazz: U.S. basketball team gets a shot at Greece
11 comments | Read story
This year's team couldn't be any better prepared for the dreaded pick n roll, considering Boozer and Williams are in the lineup. They can run it constantly in practice and keep the celebrity players like LeBron and Kobe "sharp." Yawn.
for invasion!
Yes, yes, the 1992 Dream Team was brilliant compared to its competition, and probably better than any team since. Can we please move on now?
And as for Greek guards, the days of assuming the best players are in the NBA have passed, just ask Josh Childress and the Atlanta Hawks. Besides, both LeBron and Kobe said they'd play in Europe too for the right money. Times have changed.
In our last game, Anglola, a smaller team, outrebounded TeamUSA. And if that doesn't say enough about TeamUSA's bigs, consider that 53% of the rebounds came from Dwayne Wade, Jason Kidd, and Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul... all guards, and not our bigs (Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, and Tayshaun Prince).
Eek!
Also, Angola shot as bad as TeamUSA (29%) from the arc, and their midrange game stunk too, meaning most of their 76 points were scored inside against our bigs.
For all the buzz about TeamUSA's outside shooting, the BIGGER problem may be inside. TeamUSA has a BIG problem.
Regardless, do any of you know that Greece is a country of 10 million? ANd you are here bragging about beating Greece? Gee..wow..Go OBAMA!!!
It's nice to see the Obamamaniacs are so invested in US defeat that it even extends to a game of basketball.
I too wish that defense was more important to the prima donna NBA elitists.
Remeber, the reason for the Dream Team in Nineteen and Ninety Two was the Europeans were playing their professionals against our amateurs. The spirit of the Olympics had already died before the dream team.
injured knee will allow the Jazz to win the division race earlier in the year rather than the final week of the year. Also, maybe we'll even win the season series b/w these teams this time (last year, only the lakers and trailblazers beat us in a series).
