Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire, Lamar Odom, Carlos Boozer, Carmelo Anthony (now), Emeka Okafor are all-star caliber players but they aren't:
Shaq
Kobe
Garnett
Kidd
McGrady
That's all I meant. Or even Michael Redd who could actually hit a jumpshot. 3-25 from 3pt range? Yikes!
Obviously fielding a hodgepodge of (mostly) upper talent isn't gonna put the fear into Serbia-Montenegro anymore.
A year around squad that is more balanced with shooters and role players might be a better solution. The talent level in this country should muster up better than a thrashing by a country that is basically the size of one of our states. It's embarrassing for sure!
It's like Brazil getting smoked 3-0 in soccer by Slovenia. |
ur right...but most big money players would rather concentrate on injury rehab during the off season. There is something called heart, maybe after this loss the US will show some. |

I agree!! Allen Me, Myself and Iverson ("Practice? We're talking about practice.") is the captain. Funny but he is probably one of the only ones with heart.
Besides him and Duncan, the others look like they're sleepwalking out there.
I'm hoping they rebound like they did after they lost to Italy in the warm-ups. |

did anyone else watch the game this morning vs. austrailia?
the first half it seemed like every other game with the US gettin there asses handed to them cause of the zone but then in the second half played like how they should play. lebron james in the 4th quarter was making great plays along with shawn marion those guys are the ones who gave the US this game. maybe the momentum is starting to shift in the US's direction? we will see when they play the harder teams they didnt even start playing the good teams which are in the other pool. |

Couldn't see the game but read about it. Lebron looks like the man. 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! |
