The vacationing NBAers manage to beat Greece 77-71
Newsflash: USA’s Dream Team IV is not good.
I’m not worried about the opener where the US got trounced by an island that is less than 80 miles long and home to less than 4 M people. Think of it as losing to an impoverished version of Connecticut: It’s slapped-across-the-face-embarrassing, but in the end the win stays states-side as Puerto Rico is, for the moment, a protectorate of the USA. What’s yours is mine what’s mine is mine.
No, I’m concerned that the gold medal team will not be one that wins a squeaker with Greece. The gold medal team will play tight team D and absolutely suffocate any comers who don’t execute snappy plays. This olympics’ gold medal basketball team will have practiced.
In the Arizona Republic Dan Bickley suggests a sit-down with the Disney movie Miracle.
I suggest they watch Hoosiers.
