This is great, Kobe has the built in excuse with the finger when he plays like crap, Anthony gets rewarded with a spot on the team the same day he is suspended 2 games next season for the DUI, Duane is injured all year long but he's going on nothing but past reputation, Prince is going because he actually plays decent defense which too many NBA players are allergic to.

We get our tails kicked playing NBA 2 man ball in the olympics ever since the Dream Team's retired. Yeah your right I watched a "team" play the damn game the way it was meant to be played this year and I am sick of the internationals kicking our asses because the NBA selfish highlight hunters we have wouldn't take a charge unless it was their VISA card being handed back to them.

I hate to tell you this but you have no idea what you are talking about.
What does anthony getting a DUI have to do with basketball? Wade shut it down because his team was a 100 games out of it and they wanted to lose to get a better draft choice. The best defensive player on the team is Kobe. Just watch when he actually tries. We have got our tails kicked for 2 reasons. One was that we didnt respect the foreign players because very few of them had made an impact in the NBA which is not the case now.The other reason was they slapped together teams without regard for positions, and guys like Shaq couldnt be bothered playing or making a commitment. This team has already played together last summer and you have a good team concept.

by the way they would beat the celtics 100 out of 100 if they played a 100 games.

Okay Chuck I have no idea what I am talking about.....

Playing in the Olympics is an honor. To represent your country is a priviledge not a right and if your going to say that we hurt the team by denying Anthony a spot I am going to tell you that's BS.

If you are being punished for crimes that bring shame to the NBA, your team and the game than maybe a spot on the Olympic team is not the right message to send here today. If you don't have your personal life together you don't get the honor associated with being awarded a spot on the team.

It's kinda like the outrage over TP winning an Eclipse as a trainer a couple years ago while being disciplined by racing for medication violations that year, regardless of what they were or whether they were just or deserved suspensions. You cheat, get caught, you don't get the honor from your peers.

Yes Chuck as a member of the moron society who actually has been around basketball for 4 decades, playing and coaching, I'll just step aside to your obvious genius and bow before your feet for the sin of having an opinion and participating in a discussion that differs from your own ideas. Because your a big boy Chuck doesn't mean your a basketball genius who's ideas are beyond reproach

Please spare me the patriotism. This is about winning. The olympics are not exactly the pure clean competition that you are making it out to be. Anthony did not commit a violation that had anything to do with basketball so the Pletcher comparisons are a stretch. If you are so biased against Anthony that you cant see his role on the team than so be it.

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.
