    Manu Ginobli. He runs all over the NBA players when he is a Spur, so I don't see how he can't do it during the Olympics.

    Well Team USA just won the bronze. Im pretty happy for them since they were not the usuall "Dream Team". I hope in the World Championships and 2008, players like Shaq, Kobe, KG, Tmac play along with some shooters ( Ray Allen, Micheal Redd), and then the world can see what the real Dream Team is.

    The whole problem with the USA team this year is that none of them really know how to play against the zone all too well, as it is something used more in college bball than in the NBA. What they really need to do is make a team that knows how to play against the zone. I watched PTI yesterday along with Around the Horn, and they were making suggestions like taking the NBA loser or Winner, or also taking the NCAA Champion and sending them to the olympics.

    Canda had a shot at another medal in Men's diving last night. Could have been a gold. I was pulling for that kid. The Chinese are just too d@mn good.

    Anyone watch the Mens 4x 100m relay? USA took 2nd. I'm actually glad. What a bunch of cocky pr1cks. We took gold in the Mens & Womens 4x 400m relay. Those 2 guys from Baylor are hysterical. What's with the shades and the earrings?
