![]() USA half way through the third is now down by 12 and Greece is throwing up prayers and Zeus is guiding them in. Melo has been playing well but we have been missing free throws left and right and they can not miss any shot.

![]() In all honesty the U.S. is playing their worst basketball of the tourney. Basically we can not catch a fu#$*&% break on anything. Missed free throws suddenly appear and Greece hit about 9 straight FG's.
You can put these two teams together 100 times and you might see this three times. The U.S. no matter what the outcome is still the most talented team in the world. Still a quarter to go though, plenty of time to establish some American dominance. on a side note and I truly hate to mention it but in any international competiton the U.S. gets screwed by the refs.....Haters straight haters |

![]() I watched the whole game. Lack of defense on the pick & roll and missed free throws killed us, not the refs.

![]() We didn't lose because of 3-point shooting.
We lost because of a lack of team defense that comes from only being together for 3 weeks, and we had a bad shooting night from the free throw line. The FT's are unexcusable. These guys have to drain them. If they had made even half the FT's they missed, they beat Greece. As for the team defense, it will improve as this squad plays together in the upcoming summers. |
