"Team" USA get bashed...

They just got beaten by Puerto Rico by 20 points... I can't be bothered getting the boxscores, but..

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

this is ridiculous... and they are supposed to win the gold? huh, 15 points for AI and TD too big egos I guess

If only we had the best player on the planet there *Kevin Garnett*.

I thought Duncan was a winner? Guess not.

if you replaced TD with KG they still wouldve lost, USA just sucks as a team

If only we had the best player on the planet there *Kevin Garnett*.

I thought Duncan was a winner? Guess not.

KG isn't better than Duncan. I won't explain. That's like telling a Kobe fan Shaq was more valuable to LA.

As CK said, replace Duncan with Garnett and you've got the same crap. They just didn't play as a team.

it's can't be...DUNCAN IS A WINNER.

duncan was a winner, he shoulda took the game over

I just finished watching it and some things were interesting to me:
3 point line is closer and yet 3/24...
Puerto Rico played a zone defense and Carmelo in college has experience with zones... im surprised larry brown didn't use him much.

3 point line is closer and yet 3/24...

yes it is. and now it should be childsplay for a guy like Allen Iverson...
they should have got Ray Allen again

The defense collapsed on Duncan. What else was he supposed to do? It is a team game. Shooting one of 10 doesnt help much either, does it?

Missing 16 3's, sheesh.

To be fair, Duncan's hailed as the best player in the NBA and people rave about how he's going to dominate the Olympics. Defense is going to collapse on him all the time, but surely he should just give the ball out to one of the open men? Puerto Rico aren't exactly a World super power in basketball...

I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning and saw that result. There goes the undefeated record in Olympic (though not all international) competion with NBA players representing the USA.

Props to Channel 7 for actually showing some highlights of that match, the USA got torn apart... the offense was absolutely horrible and Arroyo just scored at will.

THe outside shooting wasn't there for them that game... the only offensive options they had were Duncan and Odom. Duncan was double/triple teamed the whole game and Odom was in foul trouble the whole game.

Serves them well...

that was ice cold

i hope p.r and u.s.a get a medal but u.s.a team right now is garbage they could have done better i doubt they gonna get the gold
