They just need to knock down their shots. They’re getting good looks, they are just not falling. Plus I think people are giving this Greek team too much credit. Overall we will see tomorrow.

I still don’t know why is everybody making a big deal about the US’s struggles. At the end of the day, they’ll win gold and all we be good.

This is management’s fault, they only put one sniper on the roster. Now if the sniper is off, it puts all the presure on the other guys with range like Kobe and Deron.
Coach K either needs to give Redd more burn from the start of the game to keep him in flow, or change the game plan to where the other shooters like Deron shoot more often.
They really should’ve had more than just one sharpshooter on the squad

Kobe’s too good to keep having bad shooting nights. He will get it together. But for me I think Michael Redd has to step up and hit some more big shots from deep.

yeah i agree wit all these guys.. its either Coach K changes up his rotation….or gives his lesser stars [not top tier stars] some burn.

i think Coach K needs to improvise n start LeBron at the Point. im serious
n make Paul n D-Will the 6/7 men. Start Redd.Kobe.Melo.Dwight around him

n i think Prince is like James Posey of the Celtics..the Glue guy 4 team USA
he should play more and put less pressure on Kobe. let Prince guard the best guy since hes the most refreshed. n maybe Kobe will find his O-Game back

but the bench should look like this. Paul.Williams.Wade.Prince.Bosh.Kidd.Booz.

some ppl may disagree with me but this is what i think.

How about nobody.They are gonna whip Greece ass regardless.Yall threw up he took 13 shots like he was jacking.Clearly in the 3rd quarter they got like 3 boards and kept kicking it out to him so he can make one.Why should they go all out and beat Angola by 100..What does that prove.They winning by blowouts which is all that matter.I wouldnt give a fuck if they win by 1.I know we got people from Spain on here.Do they hate on their team over there?Like saying they went to OT with China that means the US will run them out the building or do they appreciate wins for what they are in move on to the next game like the one before dont have shit to do with the next one.Because in reality Kobe being 4-13 dont mean shit tomorrow morning when Greece is on that court.I dont get why everybody say the world caught up but when the US dont win by 50 everybody asking whats wrong.Take the 20 point win and smile.

For USA It’s a toss up between Boozer and Redd. Kobe will eventually get his grove back, Emphisis on the eventually. Redd hasn’t shot the ball well from 3 or the charity stripe and they got him just for that which is even more pressure. Boozer keeps laying it in. Stop acting soft you are 260-265 lbs. Use it!

How bout Coach K with a smarter rotation? It’s real tough to point the finger at guys who aren’t getting out on the floor. Redd’s used to starting, getting in a rhythm, and killing teams from deep. In the FIBA Americas he was the second leading scorer, now he can hardly get off the bench. Move Redd into the starting line up and watch how our 25% 3pt climbs. Real big move to tell a guy who hardly plays to step his game up, good one Dime.
