If you know so much about basketball then you would know that this team has been 3 years in the making and the guys you moaned about not being selected had no interest in being part of it till now, a month before the games begin. Allen couldnt make the team simply because he has a bad ankle and isnt the best option at his position anyway. If you had even read one thing about the team's makeup you would have seen that the reasons your guys arent there are they didnt care enough to be a part of it. That aint opinion, its fact.

Honestly, replacing Bosh with Garnett or Anthony with Pierce...is that really gonna make a massive difference?? The Cavs are not allowing Ilgauskas to participate on the Lithuanian squad anyway making this entire discussion moot...the gold is assured!!

Jesus...these Boston fans get titles in every single sport every single season, and they are still complaining.

For the record, I'm glad there are no Celtics on the Olympic team. There are too many miles on their legs as it is. On top of that, I don't really give a flying crap about the Olympics.

I know it sounds unpatriotic... but I dont really give a damn who wins the basketball gold in the olympics. I actually dont mind seeing our selfish street ball players get beat by a bunch of short guys who play great team basketball...

I'm glad to see some NBA teams going back to team basketball... you can tell those teams are much better than teams like Denver where you have guys like Iverson and Anthony who just want the #'s for themselves.

Can ya throw another cliche in there?

Most of the other countries guys are pros too. We lost one olympics where 10 of the 12 guys chosen for the team declined to participate including Garnett. Our point guards were Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury, on the same team!!! I know very few of you guys really follow the NBA but that combination would be considered beyond poor chemistrywise, maybe lethal would be a better word. Lamar odom got a ton of minutes. Duncan was in foul trouble from the first minute of the first game. It should not have been a shock that they lost. Starbury has pretty much sunk every team he was ever on.

Im so happy that the celtics are back to showing the NBA how to play "team" basketball. Of course having three hall of fame players may have had something to do with it? The Celtics of the 80's played great "team" basketball. of course having 4 Hall of famers may have had something to do with that. It seems so much easier to play "team" basketball when you have great players.
