» Brent Sedo - No One is Going to Beat USA in Japan?


I guess the Greeks didn't read your article. As they say, that's why they play the games.

» tonyp1 - No One is Going to Beat USA in Japan?

In response to No One is Going to Beat USA in Japan? posted by BrentSedo:
I should have written:
"No one should beat Team USA in Japan."

The greeks did it with defense, a well-executed pick-n-roll, and they were helped by the US shooting 59% from the free throw line.

Anyway, the beat Argentina, so they get the bronze.

Meanwhile, the Greeks will play the Spaniards Sunday morning (at 6:30 ET) in a game that appears nowhere on television. Paul Gasol (of Spain) fracturred his foot and will not be playing. Go Greece, I suppose, except it will be over with by the time anyone in the US wakes up.
