18 Days in August, an Olympic Blog

We are still kicking ourselves today for losing the game against the second-rate NBA-ers masquerading as the US national team last night, but the truth of the matter is that our team is not half as good as it thinks it is. Lack of a decent shooting guard and playmaker, bad ball handling and movement skills combined with really unexciting, slow basketball do not bode particularly well for the rest of the tournament. It is a pity as this NBA team was ripe for the taking, and the crowd was beyond thunderous in its applause and singing (Euro 2004 songs of course, but who's complaining?). Lithuania will be really tough tomorrow, we can only hope, but many people were missing Gallis yesterday. Then again, the US could have used some help by Jordan too...
