I love this team and I think they will run away with the gold. Coach K and Jerry Colengelo did a great job in picking lpayers and I honestly believe that we don't need Kobe because the guy are taking enough shots. I'm not calling Kobe a ballhog but it would be better to keep the team of guys we have now. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> but between Melo and Jamison, I'd rather have Melo. </div> Why would you even consider cutting Melo? He's been sensational thus far. I would cut Bowen and Jamison. Shane Battier is the same type of player as Bowen and is a better scorer. I think the lineup of Paul, Wade, Lebron, Melo(vs. smaller teams) Bosh(vs. bigger teams), and Dwight is perfect to make a gold medal run.
I enjoyed watching the game, especially to see Dwight Howard. He had 10 rebounds last night in 12 minutes. Did you guys see him on the rebounds, it seemed like he was at least a foot over everyone. LIke everyone would be going up for a rebound and there comes a hand way over their heads. One thing that I did notice is that we have been settling for 3's way too much. We have dominate offensive big man in Bosh and Brand downlow and who knows how Dwight is(since he never actually got a shot on a ball passed to him posting up). Mix it up some, let them post it up, Bosh and Brand are automatic(even though Bosh looked really bad yesterday) from downlow. Also both are good passers, so if they get doubled someone will be wide open from 3 land. If we do the same thing that we did last night, where you have 7 guy rotation in each quarter, here's the lineups that I would put out there.... 1st and 3rd quarter PG-Arenas SG-Wade SF-Melo PF-Antawn Jamison C-Dwight Howard 2 Bench: Brad Miller and Battier 2nd and 4th quarter PG-Paul SG-Joe Johnson SF-Lebron PF-Brand C-Bosh Bench: Hinrich and Bowen
heh, Joe Johnson left his man with a great cross-over... that was the best. We looked good last night, I can't wait until the Olympics. BTW, Santiago is possibly the ugliest man alive...
This team is the type of team that needs a fast start and I don't think you'll get it without LeBron and Bosh out there to start. I think CP3 will be the starter and Arenas get playing time at both point and SG. I'm pretty sure Wade and Lebron are already locks to start in every game. Coach K has done a great job of using his subs though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Flashback:</div><div class="quote_post"> BTW, Santiago is possibly the ugliest man alive...</div> WOW.. That should make Sam Cassell happy

Man i can't wait to watch the tournament, im defiently going to wake up at 6:30 AM every morning and watch the games and then off to work! Can't wait!!
Everybody but Bowen scored. It would have been great to see a starting lineup of Hinrich, Wade, LeBron, Melo, and Bosh because they are all from the same draft class.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting durvasa:</div><div class="quote_post">Dwight Howard had 10 rebounds in 12 minutes. Wow.</div> Exactly. That's why I was saying he should start over Bosh. CB4 is jacking up threes while Dwight actually produces out there.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting durvasa:</div><div class="quote_post">Dwight Howard had 10 rebounds in 12 minutes. Wow.</div> I know, I looked at that and thought it was a mistake. I swear, when Dwight's in his prime, he's gonna average 24 PPG and 40 RPG, heh
