The Dream Team

[madunit]

Puerto Rico beat the USA 92-73 in the basketball yesterday.

It was the first loss the USA has suffered in Olympic basketball since 1988.

Watching the game was just surreal. The American's could not get the ball to drop, no matter what they tried.

 

[les norton]

How good is that!!

 

[Tupac Shakur]

Upset just like the Boomers lost to Greece but the USA game was definately more of an upset.

 

[nibbs]

unreal. nz nearly beat italy who thrashed usa going down 71-69, when we should have had a foul at the death. we must rock now.

 

[MEE]

Geece beating Australia wasn't a shock at all. Hella's is a very strong Basketball nation.

The name 'Dream Team' should only be reserved for the 92' Olympic team because this current batch is shite in comparision!

 

[thuganomics]

Does anyone know the side the Dream Team put on the Court in that game?

 

[Tupac Shakur]

Australia just defeated Angolia convincingly and as expected. Andrew Bogan :lol: was the star, the commentators love him!

 

[Jonotallica]

He has alot of potential Bogut. He's a scorer, he's mobile and he can rebound well. But we'll have to wait to see how he handles Duncan in the game on Thursday before we start saying he'll be the best Aussie NBA player since Luc Longley. Against Greece he was shithouse, but he's young so he might have been nervous, first Olympic game and all.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Ummmm... who said this was the dream team. :?

 

[Twizzle]

The Dream Team did

Its reportedly worth $600 million according to Andrew Gaze

More like a nightmare.

 

[Tupac Shakur]

The Dream Team fought off a strong Greece team earlier on today. The crowd was right behind Greece and at one stage lead late in the match. The US were under alot of pressure.

 

[JJ]

There's only been 1 dream team - will never be another

 

[Jonotallica]

Just a reminder folks, Team USA plays the Boomers tonight. If we win, it will be the first ever win against US in the Olympics.

Should be on at 9-10 pm, but it might be delayed in there are swimming heats or semi's on.

 

[madunit]

Update, Australia 43-33 with 4.43 to go in the second half. :mrgreen:

 

[CycloneSteve]

Bah now we are getting mauled.... #-o

 

[thuganomics]

Looks like the Americans have it won.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Good effort by the Boomers until the last quarter, really took it to the Yanks for most of the game.

Also awesome to see NZ knock over the top ranked Serbia-Montenegro side, go the Tall Blacks!

 

[lolesi]

Is Aus out now??

 

[NPK]

no, they play Peurto Rico soon I think.

 

[lolesi]

Cool cool
