Funny how Carmelo Anthony and Larry Brown have fallen out, eh... Brown's even slagging him off in public!

Would you expect any less of the team that came fourth at the basketball worlds last year Davros old bean?
On a side note, another nailbiter, this time between China and New Zealand in the womans basketball. Very nice final play there by the ladies to clinch the win [img]smile.gif[/img] As for our well rounded medal tally... we've got a campaign strategy this olympics; it's known as "operation beat the Irish". Basically, rather than trying to set unrealistic goals of keeping up with the likes of our good friends across the ditch (the aussies) we're aiming for claiming more medals than a country of similair land mass and population. At last count, the medal count reads... Ireland - 0 New Zealand - 0 all I got to say now is just wait for the rowing [img]graemlins/blueblink.gif[/img]

How poor was that ref call that led to the Tall Blacks' fluke win...

Seriously now... coach Brown didn't pick the players he wanted to perform during the olympics. I don't know why, but a man with so much b-ball know-how wouldn't start a campaign with this selection. It's simple, the US has the best players in the world, all you have to do as a coach is try to make a team out of all these spoiled individuals. Personally, i don't think coach Brown had a say in which players selected, otherwise guys like Iverson or Marion wouldn't even be there. Not that they're not good enough, or talented and spectacular enough, they're not winners, simple enough. Knowing Brown's way of thinking, he'd much rather selected guys like Ben Wallace, Raheed Wallace, and Chauncy Billups. Sure, team USA would be much less spectacular, but at least they would win every single game, and they wouldn't just win, but they would make their opponents look bad, and leave them bruised and battered in the end.
Unfortunately, some NBA hotshots think it's more important that the American players look good, play flashy, and dunk at every opportunity. I'm sure that's not how coach Brown approaches the game. Team USA learned a hard and valuable lesson two years ago at the worldchampionships, at least that's what i thought. They still look vulnerable on both ends of the floor, which i totally cannot understand. The NBA needs people who can actually think as a basketballplayer, and not just as a commercial manager, otherwise the best basketballnation will once again be emptyhanded in the end.

Actually Johnny, I've been less than impressed at Coach Brown's continual attempts to slag off his team and try and distance himself from each fiasco...surely as coach he has command accountability?
