What I want to know is why Iguodala wasn't on the floor, dude is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA. :what:


No Tyson Chandler or AD, our only two players who are even capable of playin Center were on the bench. :snoop:

Lithuania is a good team and they were doing a very good job of attacking USA's weaknesses. No one is saying they were all playing shut down defense but there was only one guy that was consistently gambling and overplaying and causing a 5 on 4 almost every time down the court.

Everyone was gambling and weren't closing out:yeshrug:

Not nearly as big liability as Durant was defense wise, Melo wasn't moving too light either.
And let's not forget that Melo and D Williams played more than Kobe.

Yeah, it's pretty bad that the finger pointing is so predictable. I'm no big fan of Lebron, but I want us to WIN! If us winning means him taking over the game, scoring all our points, running a clear out every time down court, so be it. Just get the W!

Like was said before 60 percent from the field is not solely because of Kobe.

No one is saying the 60 percent is solely because of Kobe. It was just that he was particularly trashy on defense despite the reputation people still try to give him.

Finger pointing is only natural. Everyone wants USA to win and everyone is going to point out who played well and who didn't. That remains the same whether it's regular season, playoffs, international play, etc. If Kobe had played well, people would have talked about it.
