Oh, for a three

[Jim Hill]

Not much of a surprise there.  I bet the "best basketball players in their
own mind" are still mystified as to why they lost.

With the best in the NBA failing like this, to beat up Ainge for gambling on
the make up of the Celtics seems silly.  We'll see if Ainge can build a team
who will do whatever it takes to be true winners like past Celtics.  Team
USA didn't have the right guys it seems.  Maybe Bowen would have been a good
idea after all.

	Interesting, in the light of the report that during pre-game warmups,
the USA team put on a dunking exhibition for the fans, while Greece
practiced free throws.
