http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/wbc2006/news...e=ESPNHeadlinesI think all of us expected this, really. Good games by Lebron, Carmelo, and especially Brad Milller. (5 for 5, Wow!)
I don't see why people care if we win...I could care less how we do against half these goon teams. "Wow! We beat the Russian team! Most of the team looks like they came from the Munsters cast! Go America! I'm so proud we beat them!" I could care less how we do playing against international teams. It's like high school seniors playing the elementary school all-stars....If we win I could care less...if we lose it's just another reason for the media to rip on the NBA.
I don't care if we win. I know we should win. I do care if we lose, a lot though. So I like to hear that we won.I also like to see Team USA play other teams. It is fun watching some of our best play other countries.I can't watch them this year because I don't have cable though... Which really sucks.
Gosh, I dont see the US losing a game this entire tourney. Sure, its just China but when you beat teams by over 40 points, you will probably beat the best teams by around 20.

I'm glad were doing good but I mean I wouldn't expect anything else right now. With the team that we have that was so carefully put together we better be whooping these international teams.
WTF? I'm so mad lol, this game is on ESPN2 tonight (9:30 ET for those that don't know). I'll still watch and enjoy, but it's not going to be as fun to watch, knowing we are going to win by 46. Ugh, why did they release this? I wanted to watch the game NOT knowing who wins, how people did. Now I'm going to watch the game knowing Melo is going to score 18 again, we win by 46, no Yao, and Brad Miller shoots well. Oh well...
Youre lucky. I wont even be able to watch it You still dont know how some of the other players are going to do.

Because in the past couple tourneys, the US team has not shown domination like we are suppossed to. The US team actually looked bad at times in the last tournament. Now that the team looks like they are unstopable, it is bad to diminish what they are doing.
