Great artice Jim..
'Team Bling Bling' is quite apropos. It's a sad state of affairs when an overseas team of individually less talented players takes it to the US. The country that invented the game has a lot to (re)learn. |

Spectacular article Jim...glad to see you're not afraid to say what everybody's thinking.
And I'm also glad to see that no one who has responded so far has dared call Jim unpatriotic. That's the worst excuse (or cover) yet.
Lastly...I'm just glad for an Anthony Peeler mention. Mizzou-rah! |

nice article man.
not having three point shooters was pretty bad especially since they couldve been uber useful with the three point line a lot closer to the basket than the nba, but they did not defend. you might wanna look up the exact stats but the opponents scoredaround 86 points per game against us which is kinda shameful since the playing time is only 40 minutes. imo lack of defense hurt us just as much as bad shooting and all of the other stuff.
apart from picking better 3pt shooters in the team (DUHHHH ?) and actually picking a TEAM, one part of the solution could be to pick the olympic team one year in advance and have 'em play against the best international competition the offseason before the year of the olympics. for ex. our bling bling team would have been better prepared if it had played together some more games against Argentina, Spain and Lithuania in the previous offseason. that would help them become more familiar with and adjust to the international game and rules and their top olympic opponents.
.... oh well at least they won the bronze.  |
