[HelpMe]

i hate melo but what an unreal game for those guys

Seems to be a lot of hate. 

[rots5]

 na, its all the same hate :-)

one game and there going nuts...im only 24 but i def remember watching (of course really young) the real dream tem with jordan, ewing, robinson, barkley etc... theose guys just played the game. :-)

in sports its ok to hate thats the greatness in sports mets fans hate the yankees and vice versa (not true though by most jet/giant fans)
but rangers - devils. even nets - knicks. its all for the sport!

In 20 years when you look back at this team I expect a few of them to be in the Hall of Fame.

thats bec, this is all we've got,  dont get me wrong these guys are amazing ballers, and i love to watch kobe, durrent, and dwill and esp davis, i think its gr8 he didnt even play a game yet, but the games even 10 yrs ago were VERY diff then they are now, so ya wll have barry bond, clemons and a-rod in the hall even though they did drugs when it was not allowed, its still a ruined sport,   

the hall has to adapt to who the players the sport caters too.

you really think years ago they didn't do drugs? I'm sure they didn't I think the awareness wasn't there!

[rots5]

i wrote when its not allowed, yes yrs ago they prob did but for some reason it spiraled out of control and it became prohibited in the sport,

Great stuff

LONDON – After the United States was done delivering the most devastating defeat in the history of Olympic basketball, a 156-73 obliteration of Nigeria, USA coach Mike Krzyzewski sniffed over the suggestion that the Americans had gone too far in an 83-point humiliation of a fledgling African program.
Records tumbled in stunning and spectacular fashion, a surreal 29 Team USA three-pointers dropping into the basket in Thursday's Pool A Olympic tournament game. Carmelo Anthony had 37 points, and did so playing in a mere 14 minutes. No one had ever scored so many points in an Olympic game – 138 by Brazil in 1988 was the record – and the record for three-pointers had been broken before halftime.
Nevertheless, a question in the postgame news conference about the U.S. running up the score stiffened Krzyzewski, inspiring him to respond with marked defiance.
"We didn't play LeBron [James] and Kobe [Bryant] in the second half, and with Carmelo shooting like that, we benched him," Krzyzewski said. "We didn't take any fast breaks in the fourth quarter, and we played all zone. You have to take a shot every 24 seconds, and the shots we took happened to be hit.

"I take offense to this question because there's no way in the world that our program in the United States sets out to humiliate anyone."

I disgree, i think Spain's 3 is a different class of players, maybe not even comparable.

Gotta love it, Brazil beats Spain and pulls ahead for the 2nd spot in their group. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that they let the game get away from them so as to stay out of the US half of the bracket. Apparently there's a lot of that going around at these olympics.
