Good points Smoot. It is kind of insulting to other nations though that we sent our "B" or "C" teams and the U.S. tought it could just get away with it against these other good nations. Even with Shaq and Garnett we would have struggled, but it sure would have helped being that Duncan was in constant foul trouble. I doubt those refs would even know how to officiate Shaq. In no way am I blaming refs either as I always think the refs should never matter if you're a good enough team. Still we needed some pure shooters and we didn't bring them. There will be lots of changes for sure on how we pick our team. I think NCAA players get killed by these professional international teams and the NBA Champs may already have foreign players on their roster, thus making that idea difficult. I just hope there's some better support from home next time. The sad part is that some people I know who rooted against the USA are the same ones that preached that if you protest the war you are anti-American!
