USA Stunned In Tune-up</div>Sure, it was just an exhibition. But come on! A 17-point loss to Italy? Team USA men's hoops team were humbled by the Italians, 95-78 in a tune-up for Athens. It's the American's worst loss since NBA players became national team fixtures.
it was depressing to watch. they got raped.
iverson, melo, and james didnt show up to the team meeting yesterday. way to get on the same page!
that was almost a week ago.
and they were benched for the game against puerto rico.
my bad, i heard that on the PTI i tivo'ed.
and you didnt even get the players right, it was bron bron, iverson and amare stoudemire
It's like watching streetball .. just a bunch of niggers and a random white guy (in this case Duncan) more concerned about making highlights than about playing defense and making free throws.
i need my own personal stat boy.

it actually wasnt like that at all.
and iverson just hit a buzzer beater to beat germany.
Well, they're still a bunch of niggers.
Carlos Arroyo is the second coming.

Didn't take long for nba.com to go into hype mode:

that looks like something that would have been on someones geocities or tripod fansite back in 1998.
anyone else think that the rims are making a huge difference? look at all the layups and free throws the us team was missing. in the nba they can just get the ball up on the rim, it'll roll around a little bit and go in. now the rims are tighter so the ball is bouncing off
its not the only reason, theres a bunch of stuff they get away with in the nba that they aren't getting away with now. plus the obvious reasons like they can't shoot at all
a fine FINE FINE basketball team.
see white people shoot like this...WHOOSH, while black people shoot like this...CLANK
