Lithuania vs. USA Olympic Basketball

[Viperoni]

Just saw the game, great shots from both teams.

85-83 (usa)

Never won by such a close margin

That was seriously a sad game....I didn't think anyone could come within 24 points of the DREAM team, let alone 2

You got to give credit to the Lithunian team. They played great.

Why are american basketball players so arrogant??? They get paid too much if you ask me. (Just my opinion)


I wish they got beat.

 

[ForeverSilky]

I would hardly consider any team other than the 1992 team a "dream" team.

 

[Cal99]

They get GOLD and your still not satisfied because they haven't won by a big enough margin. No pleasing you americans - not jealous, honist - UK don't play basketball. much....

I've noticed that North American teams are really arrogant and play dirtier than **most** other teams.
A very notable example is the Canadian Junior hockey team.
VERY dirty play.

Lithuania really kept the ""dream"" team on their toes, that's for sure.

BTW: Wasn't this a semi-final game??

<< UK don't play basketball. much.... >>



That's the only kind of basketball....University of Kentucky (I'm sure that's what you meant? )...

Watching this game as I type, the US looks like they don't know what the hell they are doing...standing around, missing free throws, etc...

The Lithuania team is running beautiful sets, screens, and a clinic on shooting...

I'm from the USA, but I really would not have minded much if they lost....They are a bunch of overpaid whiners!!!

Update: After hearing Vince Carter's after the game interview, I can't help but to feel sorry for all the people who actually pay money to see these guys play in the NBA...What a poor winner interview...so sad
