Couldnt agree more. Thugs? What f*cking thugs? These are the guys who f*cking sacrificed their summer to play for their f*cking country instead of vacationing like Garnett and Shaq. If you want to call anyone a thug, it should be the f*ckers who turned down a chance to get a gold medal for their country. It is not these guys' f*cking fault the Olympic selection commitee are filled with bunch of morons. Its a f*cking disgrace how people like you amit and people in the media like that a-hole Joe Beningo hope for the Americans to lose. :puke: |

How many times has Allen Iverson been arrested? Or how about Lamar Odom? You think these guys really care about representing the country? They're there to get more exposure, so they can get some shoe deals. Like I said before, if they cared, three of the players wouldn't show up late to practice. If they cared, they'd learn how to shoot a mid-range jumer. |

I agree with bballfreak. Can we stop with the "thug" bullsh*t? It makes no sense. The U.S. water polo team is losing to the Russians, I guess that makes them "gangsters". Shut the f*ck up with that foolishness. Lemme know when the Israeli team/athlete is competing so I can call him/her/them a "extortionist". Everybody's a f*cking criminal. As for the game, I was pissed, still am. Its one thing to get beaten and lose a game, but we gave it away. I had been calling for Brown to pull Odom in the 4th quarter and put LeBron in. He stays in and that jackass fouls the f*cking guy from downtown. NBA or international, you don't f*cking foul from 3 point range. He bit on the cheap ass head fake and lunges at the guy. That play gave them momentum. Bonehead play. Stephon said in an interview that his job is to get the ball to the best players on the team and if he couldn't do that, then "What am I doing here?" What the f*ck is he doing there? He's my man, but he's played like sh*t. They couldn't stop the US inside game, but Duncan didn't get enough touches. He was facing one-on-one a bunch of the time and we're f*cking around making jump passes cross court. Then he makes that stupid foul late in the game, dude didn't even have the ball. It was an accident, but you have to be more careful than that. Not to mention, Steph hasn't hit a damn shot all summer. Clank, clank, air ball, clank. Brown should bench him and let Wade start. Then Mr. Jefferson. He's the reason we were able to pull back, but that 3 pointer was so stupid. You don't take the 3 in that spot and you certainly don't jack one up from NBA distance with a hand in your face. Another bonehead play, but its RJ, I don't trust him to think straight in the clutch anyway. They blew this game. That's what pisses me off. |

Pretty much, on the basketball team. Iverson's been arrested a million times, Odom touches more weed than a f*cking farmer, and I believe Amare had some problems with the law as well. |

Look up the definition of "thug" and tell me if that = what you said. And that's 3 players on the team. |

They're going around cutting throats and sticking guys up for their Nautica jackets. Tim Duncan did hard time for murder, found Jesus and turned Muslim (yeah, i meant it that way), then decided to play basketball. And I can even make an argument that you should pull Odom's name out. Smoking weed doesn't make someone a hoodlum. Do we consider Ets a hoodlum? He's a f*cking junky, but not a hoodlum. I'm talking about Ets. And I believe that Stoudamire got in trouble for fighting. Do you know who Howie Long is? Easier way, he's the guy with the flat top in the Radio Shaq commercials. He admitted to having had a troubled past and getting in trouble with fights. Howie Long is not a thug.
Does this guy ever play? Was his knee hurt from back then? |

I also blame Larry Brown for that play. RJ shouldnt even be near the ball when the team is losing by three. He hit some lucky threes and all of a sudden he is the best three point shooter in the team? Please! The ball should have been in the hands of Iverson or Odom not RJ and the disturbing part was neither of those two were being double teamed. :bag: |

They're probably bullying the US Virgin Islands national team in the Olympic Village as we speak. :serious: ;) The Americans can't compete with the international teams anymore. The game has really caught up to them and they don't want to change the way they play. It's a disgrace. |

I quoted the wrong thing. But anyway.... I'm not saying that Jefferson sucked today. I even said that we wouldn't have pulled back if it weren't for him. I said that 3 was a bonehead play and he f*cked up there. Ets, Marbury has sucked. I said it in my post. He hasn't done a damn thing in these games and he should be benched for Dwayne Wade.
No, after stabbing the Lithuanians to death, they're now out raping the Greek women. When Carmelo's "Hey baby, I'm Hercules" pickup line doesn't work, he takes what he wants. |

yeah, but he had no choice. notice how no one else wanted to take a 3. this team is scared.......its pretty funny how Tim Duncan is our best player and hes not even fully american. we need some shooters! Ray Allen, Allan Houston (yes, Allan Houston) Michael Redd all should be playing. You need some athletic guys like RJ, Marion, guys like that, but the team cant all be that. |

Its not a matter of wanting to change the way they play. A guy who shoots 30% from beyond 10 feet isn't gonna become a 40% 3 point shooter in a couple days. I think what we were doing today is the best way to go at these teams. Good defense, fastbreak, and bang inside. But we choked it away.
Like they needed his help. When his country really neeed him, he shits on them. Oh, I didn't even think of this. "WIFE BEATER". That's more of a thug than a pot smoker. |

I don't think we should have taken the 3. You go inside to Duncan, go for the two, then play the NBA fouling game. We know the Liths ain't missing free throws, but its the better percentage play. Jefferson jacks one up from deep, with a hand in his face. Then we take "how long?" to get the foul. The composition of this team has already been dicussed. Ray Allen was afraid of terrorism and said that he's getting married, Houston's knee still isn't 100%, and I don't know if Redd was invited. I've said before that we would have been better off if we invited guys like David Wesley, Wesley Person, Shane Battier, Anthony Peeler. Guys who aren't stars, but can knock down an open jumper. We also need guys who can defend the perimeter. We have too many of the same players. You don't need Melo if you've got Bron. You don't need Odom if you've got Marion. You actually don't need Steph if you've got Iverson. But that's what it is. |

No, I'm not serious. Well, about that. I'm sticking with that "WIFE BEATER" stuff. The Nets fans are just salivating at a chance to rip Marbury and I wanted to annoy them a little. |
