Team USA loses to Italy (Basketball)
Oh man, the US team is a joke. Its not even a team, there isn't one shooter on the whole team. Every team is just going to pack it in real tight with the zone and force them to shoot.

This year could be ugly...European Basketball is really stepping it up. More and more guys from Europe are coming into the NBA, then shit like this is happening. Not to mention Italy is supposely one of the weaker Euro teams.

While I agree, this is a fairly weak team. You have to realise the US team has only played together what, 2 or 3 weeks? While the other teams have been playing together in some cases 2 years.

Yea true

I think they should just take the NBA champions and have them play, Teams that have actaully been playing together and can play D.

The NBA has become nothing but street ball. Today's players are sloppy and need to go back to basics. In Europe they teach defense, ball movement, passing and three point shooting. Its no wonder they killed team usa. Maybe, instead of going straight to the NBA some of the upcoming stars should get a college education and learn some of the basics of basketball.

I'd disagree with that, I mean yeah a lot of the up and coming players in the NBA lack some of the fundementals that they would have learned in college, it's far from streetball. Hell, if it was Steph and Skip would be running the league.

The game hasn't become street ball, but its starting to become more and more of a 1 on 1 game. Driving to the bucket and beating your guy off the dribble has started to take a huge proitority over shooting jumpers. Fundamentals are there, its really just the jump shooting. Also Team USA hasn't developed any type of team defense at all, like stated before they just haven't been practicing enough.

didn't the last team miss the world tourny cause they lost in the early rounds?

the teams been a joke for awhile, most the players asked wont play.

But Basketball was also better back then.

The fundementals of basketball are better everywhere compared to the USA. The big 'but' though, is the talent level of the American team easily makes up for it. Unless ego gets in the way, Team USA will win it all.

As for Canada's baseball team.
There are a lot of top tier teams, Canada is one of them.

Like it has been said before. Nobody can shoot the ball. You have a bunch of players, not playing as a team, playing against National teams, that play together year round. The only reason this "Dream Team" crap started was because the U.S did crap in basketball in the late 80's. I'm so happy that they are getting it thrown back in their face. Also, Germany beat up on Italy prior to Italy's game against the U.S.

Have fun Americans.

I'd love to see a baseball find a way to send it's players to the olympics, although it would be interesting where a lot of them have become US citezens, could they still play for the country they were born in?

They should do, considering that's the point of the Olympics.

Baseball would fit right in, with all those drugs.
