Well, I can't even say "we" because most of you are rooting for the Serbian team.
How come there wasn't even a single post after the win? The place was flooding after the loss to Puerto Rico. I can't say for sure, but I get the feeling that this ties into what I had said a couple days ago. Its become trendy to rip on the team. Loss #2 will produce new material.

I obviously didn't see the game, but I have to imagine it wasn't well played?

i saw some of the game, the usa team didn't play good ball in the first half but picked it up in the 2nd half and get this they were contesting shots and playing defense, they actually looked like a real team for that whole 2nd half!!! :o

It wasn't. The Aussies kept jacking up threes (and made most of them), and were leading at the half. They got tired and the US started playing better D, so they won.

I watched the entire game. I think Australia was 8-12 from downtown in the first half. The U.S. went into halftime down by 4 (I think) and the defense picked up in the second half. They did a lot of the scoring in transition. The Aussie team looked drained late in the game. Their team didn't seem to be calling timeouts and their guys were out of it. We took advantage of the missed jumpers and turned it into fastbreaks. LeBron (great passing), Wade (slashing to the basket), and Marion (nothing but dunks and put backs) lead the charge in the 3rd quarter.

I know we beat Australia by 10 points. Although they cut the lead in the last garbage time minute. But I thought the U.S. Olympic team was a hot topic, that is until we won.

The game was on at like 8 in the morning. Most people probably didn't even know it was on! Plus it was on the USA Network. :serious:
