RealGM

Is anybody following this team? Not exactly the "Dream Team" as it's missing many stars, such as Amare, LeBrun James, D Wade, Kobe, and Howard but it still has a lot of talent on it, including our very own Danny Granger and IU star Eric Gordon. I've been following them, i don't mind that it's not the best of the best, but i mean they still have Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, Tyson Chandler, ect, so theres tons of talent there and i feel like it doesn't matter who is wearing those jerseys, it's always good to cheer on the USA. The "pre-season" games are over after USA killing of the Greeks today and the real games begin on Saturday against Croatia.

GO USA!

Hopefully coach K plays Danny more, if not I hope the US loses.

My support for the Pacers runs deeper than the National team, guess I'm not very patriotic.

Bigups to Gordon for leading the US over Greece in the final tuneup.

Granger's like the 10th man.

In any case, I just want his injuries to heal. This experience has been more about being there with all of those players rather than being the man on the team.

Obviously there wasn't much interest in this thread, but i figured i'd post this anyways... anybody see Brazil vs. Argentina today? If not, i suggest you look up the schedule on NBA TV and see when they replay it because it was a classic. One of the BEST basketball games i've seen in a long long long time. I won't spoil it for anyone wanting to watch. The game, the shots, the atmosphere by the Argentina fans... incredible stuff.

Watching it now. I heard Scola went nuts.

That's an understatement.

Enjoy the game.

WOW.... Serbia knocks out defending Champions Spain with a crazy three point shot with 3 seconds to go.
