Isn't George Karl the biggest choke coach in the history of basketball? First, he has the first ever #1 seed to lose to a #8 seed in the NBA playoffs, then he has the first NBA-full USA team to lose in international competetion, and last year he had the first team in NBA history to lead its division at the All-Star break and not make the playoffs. The guy is a smart coach, but once his teams start unraveling he's absolutely incapable of stoping it.
That guy must have some bad mojo or something. I'll tell you though, he had this team BADLY unprepared. That is just inexcusable.
I agree the team was underprepared even though they didn't have much time together.The guys played poorly on defense when pressure was put on them.
