I started watching when there were 10 minutes left on ESPN's delayed telecast(but then saw the final score in the corner).

This is a nightmare.

Nothing against Coach K, he is a legendary college coach....But, I wonder how they would have done if Phil Jackson was coaching the team instead of Coach K. These are pro players, not college players. Phil Jackson has shown that when he has superstars like Jordan and Kobe he knows how to get the most out of them while keeping the chemistry good with the rest of the team.

had it coming. those foreign teams play together forever. usa has 3 weeks or so, right off the playoffs. give 'em twelve guys for a few month-they dominate.

i doubt they need coach k. anyone with a clipboard that can get them to run will work.

the refs turned the game around for the Greeks in the 2nd. USA's zone offense was terrible.

Their defense was almost as bad, gambling on steals nearly every possession and not doing anything on the pick and rolls.

The huge black guy from Greece was a surprise for me when I first saw him play in pool games, he's massive and is real agile and athletic. He didn't get much game time at all until the US game, when he dominated. The other Greek centre is quite good too, with the old school hook with both hands.
