Ayepecks Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Wow, the united States simply look horrible :no: Anyone else watching? They're losing by 19 in the 2nd... about 3 minutes left. They just look horrible. Duncan and Iverson look great when they're on the rythm, but when they're not everything falls apart. Jefferson's been pretty good defensively, but EVERYONE on the USA team is sucking offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 when you are being out scored about 20+ points in the 2nd period, its going to look very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadzombie Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I had a bad feeling about this team when they were strutting around acting like jackasses during the opening ceremonies. If Jefferson misses another basket I think my wife is going to lose it (huge bball fan). Go Puerto Rico! At least one of the teams on that court came to play basketball...

Ayepecks Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 I want PR to win :) Well, they're your home country, so good luck to 'em :) I still want the US to win, but it's not looking good.... their shots are HORRIBLE. When they work together off the fast break it looks amazing. But NO ONE is driving to the basket, and when they DO get good looks from the outside they're shooting is HORRIBLY off... man, they're just playing horrible. They're not playing with any energy, as the announcers have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadzombie Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Ok, my wife has lost her mind... too many rocks being thrown at the basket. Ive got to go call 911 now... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 I've just turned it off.... they are SUCKING HORRIBLY. There's no exuse for the play they're giving. Time to change the channel. Sad thing: they just started looking DECENT and then they go back to horrible play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarFox25 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Not to mention, one of the US players just signed a contract for $78 million. How can these guys make so much and suck so bad? Its just not right... :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 That's Jefferson, I believe... he's been one of the few showing energy, but his shots SUCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadzombie Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 <- thinks about trying out of USA mens basketball team in 2008. At 5'10" I can at least sink a basket inside the Olympic 3point line. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayepecks Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 the 2008 team better have a 3 point shooter (among other things). We need better 3 point shooting, better drivers, better shot blockers, etc. Honestly, I wish they just would have taken Detroit (plus a few changes in players... ie. adding Duncan, removing some players, etc) -- we need CHEMISTRY.
