Yeah the Americans lost....aren't you happy now?  You can make nice little
barbs at the players...Pierce in particular.  And then out of the other side
of your mouth, you can talk about the players playing for national pride and
giving something back, etc. while you diss them.  They should be proud to play
for the sake of your honor, right?  There are guys like you on every list, who
enter by trying to humiliate longtime members to crave your thirst for
attention.  Yay for Lance.

I still say the USA will take the gold medal.  Let's make a wager.  I'll take
the USA.  Interested?  Loser can leave the list for a month.  I'll bet I know
who Tammo is cheering for.

  Isn't it obvious that the Americans will win with whatever pro players
decide to accept the invitation?  On pure athleticism>>Cecil


  Good call, Cecil.  Remind me not to ask you for stock tips.

  The good old American team, playing lackadaisical ball, got trounced by guys
who play defense, and get inside for EASY BASKETS.  We've got three point
shooters who are counted on to save the day (got that spandex "S" shirt ready,
Ryan?) and one of them just had to fire in those two threes. . when the game
was already decided.  That nice dribbling out of bounds is what's really
needed when the game's on the line.

  Well, it's a wake up call, alright, but I don't think Ray Allen and Jason
Kidd are allowed to grab their sneakers and head to Indy.  We'll have to
survive this tourney with guys who feel their job is to "inspire" rather than
play defense and work passes to their teammates.

  I'm still laughing and waiting for Paul's next interview.
