Will these guys be able to bring the gold back to the USA?

Thoughts?

When winning, will everyone talk about how Kobe Bryant's supporting cast has really stepped up and is pretty good?
When losing, will everyone talk about how Kobe Bryant's supporting cast isn't very good and it's not Kobe's fault they are losing?

Let's hope that they can play team ball and hit an outside shot. That's what really hurt the other teams that have lost. A lack of three point shooters really hurt in the international game. Also, I think this group may care a little bit more than some of the other teams.

I was on the Dream Team.

Carlos Boozer is not on the Dream Team. Certainly! You tell him I said that!

Seriously, are they really referring to it as the "Dream Team"? There was only one team that fit that description my friends, and Scottie was on it.

It was nice they let him tag along with Christian Laettner.

Thank you for copying me in a less spectacular and successful fashion. Scottie used to do that all the time. You tell yourself I said that!!

Its basically on Coach K. They have the talent to shoot the long ball, move the ball on offense, and rotate defensively. Those are really the only three things you need to do in the international game that are not, unfortunately, done regularly in the NBA. If they do those three things effectively, there talent alone should carry them to a title.

I dont think they will win the gold though. Through recent history too many countries have wanted it more and outplayed the USA for the title. If you are asking me to be the field vs. the USA, I'll take the field anyday.

Better hope Kobe doesn't play much in the finals. We don't need the Kobe disappearing act in a one game series.

Will it be the same month that Irish Boy has John Lennon as his avatar?

They seem to be short on big men & low post presence, and I'm not so sure they'll be in contention for a bronze medal in Beijing, let alone the gold. I'll be very interested to see if those guys will mesh together and understand their roles right away. While the world wants our best players representing the Red, White & Blue in International competition, the argument for and against NBA players will rage long after the flame is extinguished.

I noticed this as well, but I think this is on purpose. I think it will help them play on the international level and excel. I think Coach K knows what he is doing.

You should start a thread about that guy.

Im hoping this was a joke.

Tyson Chandler is traveling with the team and will be the first alternate. Considering a number of players are on record as saying defense and rebounding will win the gold this summer, its confusing as to why Dwight Howard was the only Center selected.
