AK Sucks in Olympics Operner Vs. GB -- only scores 35

Watching just a tiny bit of the USA Spain game, wow, Spain has no shame whatsoever in flopping, that was probably the difference in a win or 2 for them.

Spain is only down by 1 at the half.

That said, I like to see the underdogs win, I'd enjoy seeing Spain take the gold just for the fun of it.
USA has enough talent that they should be up 30 no matter what.

Yeah, nice bounce back game for AK, 20pts, 8reb, 2blk and first medal for Russia as independent country in Olympic basketball history. Shved finally played like great game as well. To bad we never got to see this Russia team vs USA, would be very interesting game.

I agree It would have been extremely interesting, especially if your into things like this:

wow , I didn't realize how good a team Spain had. They could have won this, the coach blew it by sitting Marc Gasol way too long for foul trouble.

you are clueless, arrogant idiot. USa barely won vs Spain in finals and vs Lithuania in group play. Russia was matched against USA like no other country. If you think it would not been close game.... well see first sentence of this post.
 
50 straight wins, enough said. Close, blah blah...they turn it on when it matters. When they actually care at the start they win by 20-30 easy. Would be same against any team, including the mighty USSRAK. It seems they get bored and play to the competition alot to make it fun, then always win at the end.
 
U.S. certainly has the most talent, but they don't play well as a team -- too many prima donnas. On offense they played pretty good team ball today, but you still saw Carmello jacking up threes.
 
Bottom line is we had a top talent at pg with a very good offensive pf who fit each other's game perfectly. AK was a pf playing out of position. As far as Sloan not using AK correctly, hell ya he didn't play him correctly. What was Sloan supposed to start AK at pf over and Millsap? Like every coach Sloan has his own system that he runs.

As far as I'm concerned there's no excuse for AK's drop off in production on defense. I don't want to hear that it's because his role decreased on offense causing him to be less interested due to being less involved on offense. If anything he should've had more energy on defense.
