| Re: FIBA World Championship Games Watched the USA game on tape earlier today. Out of the big three/captains, Carmelo was the only one who looked good in the halfcourt offense. Wade didn't do too much out of any sets, and Lebron jacked up several idiotic shots early on in possessions. The fast-break, of course, is where these guys are all basically unstoppable, and that was the difference today. Joe Johnson hit a few threes right off the bench, and Hinrich drained a few corner-pocket Mo Evans specials.
On defense for the USA, it was usually feast or famine--either they forced a turnover with a steal or a block, or they got served on dribble penetration by the Puerto Rican guards. And not just Arroyo, they made a couple of other dudes look like All-Stars as well. |
