Upon Greece?!?!

(see also http://cleverlytitledblog.blogspot.com/2004/08/upon-basketball.html )

Now America can add a loss to the Spanakotoppolovskitsts to our distinguished international basketball resume. THIS MAKES NO SENSE!

"But WG, Greece were the Eurpoean Champions, and haven't lost a game in the Championships."

"Actually TWG, the talent level on the Greek team is comprable to the US roster.'

"It's the team's fault. Greece played together, the Us just played like a thrown-together roster. The world has caught and passed America in team play."

You know what I say? If Miami can win the NBA running out Jason Williams, Gary Payton, Udonis Haslem, there is NO WAY that we should lose a quarter with Lebron, Carmelo, Wade, Paul and Howard.

This is, and continues to be an embarassment. I don't see the US winning the World Cup any time soon, Mexico will not sail away with the America's Cup, England will never lead an Olympic games in Medals, and finally.....

THE US, absent an unconscious performance from their opponent (where a 3-point shooter can not miss, or someone is shooting like Bill Walton in the NCAA championship game) should not lose in basketball.

Stay tuned for when the Rhine Fire and Toronto Argonauts beat the Colts and Patriots in international football friendlies.
