Right.  All well and good.  Sorry to rain on the parade but they gave up 73 points to an AAU team.

Lmao@calling 73 lighting their ass off.They shot like 40%...and 29 from Ike Diogu(NBA player/1st round draft pick)

So would you be happier with a 50-130?lol...they were lighting those 3s up like crazy(also an olympic record)...when your shooting lights out(+70%)...there are alot of possessions for the other team.

Seriously is it even fair that this is in the olympics? What other country could possibly dominate such a ghetto ass American based sport?

Spain/Brazil both have solid crews.Ghetto??...like the players on the vast majority of soccer teams arent from simular backrounds.

USA dominate in alot of stuff...just cuz wd have the best athletes dont mean it aint fair.Atleast in Olympic Bball now a days there are alot of NBA players on different teams.Night and day from the 90s and before basketball.

I was thinking the same thing.  At the end of the first we were up 49-25, and even though that's a great point differential, Nigeria was on pace to put up 100 points in a 40 minute game.

On pace?lol


...and the best margin of victoriy for the 92 team was 79 vs Cuba.Now this is a long shot
but im guessing there wasnt too many good players from Cuba either.......lol

Nigeria wasnt an awful team. I mean they clearly qualified for the Olympics and have a couple solid players on their team

The USA just played one of the best games of basketball I have ever seen. And they had the best shooting game that I have ever seen out of any basketball team, on any level. They shot like 70+% from 3 and over 80% FG. That is incredible.

They shot that well because they didn't have anything else to worry about, they were just having fun.

I dont care if there wasnt even another team on the court. Shooting that well is extremely difficult to do. Carmelo has been a beast this entire Olympics, he is by far the MVP of the team.

I cant wait to see how Melo does this season in the NBA. Too bad the Knicks suck and Stoudimire is one of the most overrated players

Knicks need him to play like he is right now, as a spot up shooter. The Knicks did a good job bringing in a PG and a SG to help facilitate to Melo. The Knicks are going to be competitive to at least make the playoffs.

I would have loved to see Dwight end up in Brooklyn cause I think they Nets are going to be a tough tough team with the moves they made adding Joe Johnson. Brook Lopez will need to live up to that massive contract they gave him

Unless you're Reggie Miller or Ray Allen constantly going for threes is lazy bullshit. If Spain can contest their constant 3 pointing the US might be in for some shit.
