    Hinrich just sealed their fate with an intentional foul. Two shots and the ball. Hinrich has been an idiot the entire tournament.

    hinrich killed the momentum of this game

    but the usa still played like crap

    defense was great early and then fell apart

    some serious bricks thrown up there by team usa from the outside

    pretty much a failure for the usa no matter what happens in the next game

    knew the outside shooting was thin again and thought hinrich and joe johnson might be able to fill some of that void but again terrible 3 shooting when it matters killed the usa

    who cares if they hit them vs some scrub team

    where is ray allen and michael redd when you need them?

    This is basketball, it doesn't take a scientist to realize upsets happen all the time with this game. Did JORDANS Bulls win every game they played? Did they sweep every series they were involved with? Of course not. Some nights the team they played caught breaks and won.. It happens this is basketball

    True. Plus the US doesn't need the world championship. We already have that each year with Miami, San Antonio, Detroit, etc.

    They should have added Taurasi.

    I don't care about the loss. I made money with every bet I placed on the US (or against them). To me they're still the champs.

    US never solved the Greek zone, and Greece pick'n'rolled straight through our 'defense' for the entire 2H. That's why we lost. Not because of missed FT's.

    We saw the shortcomings of coach K, because he never had an answer, or adjustment that worked, in the 2H. Greece was repeating the same little trick over and over. US was out-coached.
