usa can win gold playing like this and they can lose playing like this.. but they are better than this and theyll prove that. if anything, its making for an exciting story.

2SG's new username reminds me of Greg Paulus, which is why it makes me sad that he and CC can't get along.

If you just ignore a contrarian they'll eventually just leave quietly.

This game meant nothing. We didnt even come out hard at all, it was over in the first quarter. First place in the group guaranteed, no worries

Thats the mentality i hate that we have. No edge when the goal is accomplished, but a cold shower is always good to wake them up

I'm really not sure about that. Croatia is a tough team for sure with the way Bogdanovic is playing, and they are playing just as well as Lithuania per almost every team statistic. 
 
Game could very much go either way, and then you'd be third with a loss. Granted, 3rd is better than 2nd because you still avoid the US bracket, but you just have to play Australia in the 1st round, not the 2nd round
