Default Re: USA Basketball Sux

Excuse? I'm not excusing them for the sucky ness, I'm saying why they suck. They can't shoot from Mid-Range. Either we have specialists like Ray Allen, Fred Hoiberg, Brent Barry, and Brian Cardinal who are Jesus from three point range, or we got our big muscly men who dominate the low post. Very few players are consistant in mid range.

International teams ARE better shooters than the Americans. That's obvious. If you shorten the length of the three point line, they'll be raining 3's like nothing. That's how Puerto Rico and Italy beat the US. PR was 8/16 from behind the arc. US was 3/24!

Like Joeiss said, they need to feed it downlow to Duncan because they don't have a Kobe, Mike Bibby, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, or KG on the team to shoot from the outside. Shawn Marion can't do it. Melo doesnt get a chance to do it. AI has horrible FG%. And They arent passing it into the paint enough! Duncan should get a touch everytime. He's a two time MVP.

My Lineup would be for a team that passes the ball:
PG:Wade
SG: They Don't have a player I would put in here but I'll say Lebron James
SF: Shawn Marion
PF: Lamar Odom
C: Tim Duncan

now that I look at the roster I notice that we've got bad 4's and no 2's....
