The writers were punking out Carmelo for laughing when they were losing and basically being worthless. That's a little surprising to me... Lebron has got loads of talent! Realistically, should we be happy they won by 10 against Australia? They have nobody I've ever heard of. Our expectations have sunken so low but I'm happy as well with the win. Baby steps I guess.... A huge test is next with Lithuania. They need shooters badly!

Carmello has a long way to grow as a player...Lebron seems to be maturing much faster

i actually saw the entire 2nd half before i left for work this morning. they looked fluid late in the 3rd and 4th, because they made a conscious effort to make the extra pass against the zone defense. lebron james is REALLY REALLY suited for zone defense because of his passing. he threw a great touch pass from the elbow down to the baseline where wade was and wade made a pertty nice move to put in the lay-up. shawn marion needs to stop chucking up threes because he's a really terrible outside shooter. carlos boozer understands his role on offense (garbage-type points off misses).

the D actually looked good. they went through their rotations, and when they harried the aussies with blocks and steals, it often led to easy points..
