I don't know why marbury isnt playing more, he's been doing well today. But instead we have wade handling the ball, who hasn't been making that many great decisions in my opinion.

Marbury has been head and shoulders above the rest of the US team in the medal rounds last 3 games. He's playing so well.

Brown plays him and LeBron sparingly, it's bizarre.

It sucks that we have to wait another 4 years to get revenge for not winning the gold. For those who have been able to watch the games... Rate who has contributed the most during the olympics from most to least and who should replace them next time.

Did anyone just see that no-call?!?

Lithuania guy palmed the ball mid-dribble.. obvious carry..
RIGHT NEXT THE REF, and he didnt call it.

Refs are so bad during these Olympics. And I also don't know why they have only 2 refs in international ball.

Duncan and Marbury and Odom were the best in the medal round. Iverson was good, but I think a major problem of these games was that the shooting guards were too small. They need a long, rangy shooting guard to guard those shooters on Lithuania and Argentina. Someone like Rip or Tmac. They need more quality, offensively talented bigs like Brad Miller, KVH, Garnett. They need a team defense in general. They need another point guard. Dwyane Wade cannot play the point or shoot right now, meaning he's only good for defense. They need another coach. They should take advantage of their depth more. A long list of things to address for next time.

IM proud those guys stayed in there and won the bronze. Last years team in INdy folded, but these guys will take the medal and hopfully be good sports about it.

It's kinda too bad...we really seemed to come together the final few games. If only we had some more time at the beginning, who knows how we would have played.

Well, 4 years for the Olympics... but we'll get another chance to redeem ourselves in the next World Championships. It always sucks to lose, but at least they get a medal. You can feel bad for Spain and Lithuania for coming up empty.

You can also imagine how badly Serbia-Montenegro must feel... they didn't stand a chance w/o Peja & Divac...

I think you forgot a team mascot. And team sneakers.

Im glad we got the bronze at least. I think one of the main things everyone needs to keep in mind is not to be harsh on the players that DID go to these olympics. They did the best they could with the team they went with. They played to their strengths because there just isnt enough time to retrain their deficiencies. They played hard these medal rounds. Congrats to our olympians,and a shame on you for the ones that declined and USAbasketball on their roster decisions.
