August 4, 200620 yr This team looks hungry as hell for it too. Different from the Athens team. I'm psyched to see what this group of guys is going to look like in 2008.
August 4, 200620 yr Can't find a boxscore.. anyone have a link to one? http://www.usabasketball.com/seniormen/200...ition_box1.html
August 4, 200620 yr Hinrich Arenas Joe Johnson Battier Miller that is f***ing terrible. What are you doing Coach K? oh jesus Bruce Bowen now. when they went with the defense they started to find their groove. I know Bowen basically took Arroyo out of the game the few minutes he played and then from there on out we were off. :whistle

August 7, 200620 yr Is the game today already done? It's only been a hour and fifty minutes and it's not on ESPN2 here.
August 7, 200620 yr The game today is already done. Don't know why they didnt show it live. If you want to know the result: USA 119, China 73
August 7, 200620 yr Wade looks completely different than the last time I saw him. He grew out a goatee, and wears his socks real high. Anyway, he is looking masterful as usual.
August 8, 200620 yr I guess no one was into this game. I didn't catch it either. Anyone who did wanna give some thoughts? I'd appreciate it.
August 8, 200620 yr The U.S. Team played another exhibition game against Brazil today in China GUANGZHOU, China ? (AP) ? Carmelo Anthony scored 16 first-half points before being forced out with a knee injury, and the United States hung on for a 90-86 victory over Brazil on Tuesday. Anthony set the early pace for the U.S., but slipped while chasing a ball to the sideline with 2:21 left in the second quarter. He crashed into coach Mike Krzyzewski and left the game with a hyperextended right knee, an injury team officials said didn't appear serious. Kirk Hinrich added 14 points for the Americans, who led 52-38 at halftime. Brazil staged a big comeback while Anthony sat out the rest of the warmup game before the world basketball championship. Brazil went on a 16-0 run right after the break to grab a 54-52 advantage. The teams then traded the lead throughout the third quarter. Taking advantage of Anthony's absence, Brazil went on the attack. Welington Dos Santos rattled the U.S. defense with his speed and passing, while Leandro Barbosa of the Phoenix Suns, and Alex Garcia repeatedly drove to the basket. Both finished with 14 points. Cleveland Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao dictated play under the basket, racking up six defensive rebounds and three offensive boards in the third quarter. He fouled out in the final frame with Brazil trailing 85-82. LeBron James made a late layup, and Joe Johnson ? who finished with 12 points ? added one from the free-throw line to seal it for the Americans. Hinrich was 8-for-8 from the foul line, and hit two of four 3-point attempts. The hard-fought win followed two easy U.S. victories and offered a preview of the tougher competition the Americans will likely face at the world championship, which begins in Japan on Aug. 19. Opinion: Hopefully Anthony's injury isn't too too serious and he will be ready for the World Championships
August 8, 200620 yr Carmelo being hurt kind of bothers me. From what I've read -- and watched-- he's been phenomenol.
August 13, 200620 yr Anybody with NBA TV USA/Lithuania just started. Might want to put it on. Melo is playing.
August 13, 200620 yr I wouldn't mind some updates (not play by play, but anything significant). Thanks in advance.
August 13, 200620 yr We are playing some awesome defense. 3 minutes left in the 1st quater and they only have 7 points. Bosh looks terrible. Wade outscoring Lithuania 10-9 by himself. 25-9 U.S.
