The facts are as follows:

1. Basketball is now a worldwide sport. Not on the level of soccer, but second at present. There are a lot of good players in other countries.

2. The National teams of other countries have been playing together for YEARS. We think we can throw a bunch of highlight reels on the court and expect they will play as a TEAM after 3 weeks of practice.

3. We again did a horrible job selecting players. We had a very young team that would listen to coach K. And that team is extremely inexperienced. Greece ran a simple pick and roll like they had Karl Malone and John Stockton playing the roles of the Greeks. WE PLAY NO TEAM DEFENSE AGAIN!
That is the bottom line. You have got to be able to play defense.

4. Carmello Anthony, a team defender? Holy shi t. This guy is one of the most selfish YOUNG players in the league. Lebron James, he has not a clue how to play TEAM defense. Chris Bosh our big man. Yes he is very mobile, but he has no clue how to play TEAM DEFENSE. K said he would stress defense, but it was tough man to man without any direction on how to help. Awful. They score 100 pts. That is just ridiculous. We have guys out there trying to steal the ball everyplay and go coast to coast for a jam instead of just harassing guys by staying in front of them, making them make bad passes and take bad shots. They shot so many foul shots because of this gambling selfish style man to man. DEFENSE.

Oh yes. Chris Paul will end up becoming the best point guard in the world with a bit of seasoning.
