We tore them up something vicious. I have a feeling this is gonna be the best USA team besides the very first dream team (which will NEVER be fucked with)


That Joe Johnson feed to Lebron for the hammer was sick.

i still think the usa could lose. not enough shooters. too many slashers. should have got michael redd and ray allen or some other pure shooters on the team.

watched the first few minutes - It definitely looks like there's an emphasis on defense this year. Arroyo was blowing by his man in the first but it looked like they adjusted it as the game went on. The past teams have gotten smoked on 1 on 1 defense which has left shooters open and they usually bury the outside shot. This team looks like it has good chemistry, but you never know nowadays, we could easily still lose.

One year they smashed Puerto Rico in an Exhibition and ended up losing to them in the tournament play....They beat them worse then they did last night...It might have been the Athens Olympics...

well keep in mind that its still another two years till the olympics. this isnt gonna be the FINAL team. Kobe, Amare, Reddick, Matrix, and Odom will most likely play as well.

I dont think Bruce Bowen should be on the team. Good defense, yes. but hes gettin old

Bowen will be really old in 2008..

But, yeah, they should've gotten somebody like Redd or Allen, or Rip Hamilton to fill out the roster, too.. I guess they'll still add people, possibly, so maybe they'll add one.

It'll be nice to see Amare, Kobe and Chauncey on the team later.
