    I agree. Again it is the getting open and shooting that is killing us...example lebron kind of lazily getting around a screen and jacking up a 3...AGH

    What's with the free throw parade?

    Your dream team is on the verge of losing an exhibition game...I'd stay away from Vegas if I were you...

    Hakeem Olajuwon became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1993. He is, indeed, an American.

    questionable defensive switch (hinirch?) leaves US up by 1 with less than a min remain

    So what's your size?

    But in case a miracle occurs, mine is XXL.

    After that...Lebron is lebron, drives thru zone defense to lay it in for US up by 3...Brazil misses layup less then fouls with 30 seconds reamin..then i think (wade?) misses two clutch free throws...

    now they have the ball, and then lost in a scuffle, number 4 (Joe Johnson?) makes 1 of 2 to put the lead to 4. with 1 or 2 seconds left...brazil launches it and misses...

    Game over...90-86 USA WINS!!

    sorry about player IDs i'm not familiar with numbers and the faces are not that clear

    Yup, that was a nice play by Lebron... Chris Paul missed the free throws... And Joe Johnson stole the ball at the end. Free throw shooting on the team is terrible, is the ball that much bigger than the NBA ball?

    I'm sorry, you must have me confused with a 15 year old kid. I don't wear a basketball jersey with somebody else's name on it.

    If I were to bet anything, it would be a tipjar bet, but I think you've embarrassed yourself enough already...

    Yeowza.

    With respect to the game, i think free throws and refs were excessive...in the third qtr it seemed like they were giving Varejo EVERYTHING and then in the 4th...they were giving the US a lot of chances...

    There's nothing embarrassing in supporting my dream team. It's called dream team because there's no way a club can afford to get those players playing for one team in the NBA. Hence, the dream team.

    Plain and simple.

    I'd just like to point out that Stockton and Malone are on that team. So it was cool and all, but not as cool as it could have been.
