Australia lose to Greece
Yeah bring retired players in...
Pfft you are a tool playa.
Go back to the Ali G school of english.

You can't really say it was 'a decent effort'. If the Boomers want a medal, they cannot expect to lose by 20 and be complacent.
Greece aren't the best team in the World, and yet they beat us by 20. Imagine how hard it's going to be to get Bronze when we have to get past teams like USA,Argentina,Brazil,Italy,France,Greece,Spain
USA-ALL-STAR Team. LBJ,D-Wade,J-kidd,kobe(Best in world-dont need to say much more really)
Argentina-Ginoblli,Oberto,Nocioni,Scola(ranked 2nd best in world by FIBA)
Spain-Juan Carlos Navvaro,Pau Gasol, Jose Calderon,Ricky Rubio,Rudy Fernadez(3rd best in world with 5 NBA Players)
Brazil-Heaps of quality European players plus Leandro Barbosa and Nene!
France-Parker,Turiaf,Boris Diaw and other NBA PLayers
Greece-6th best in world and 2ND at World Champs in 2006
Italy-Heaps of quality EURO players plus Barganini from the Raptors and Marco Bellinielli
Getting a medal at Bejing is going to be sooo hard!
My pick for the top 3 spots are:
1. USA-I think its their time for once, experienced side with superstars. They seem to be more of a team this time round courteosy of Coach K
2. Argentina-Ginobbli,Oberto,Nocioni and Scola is a great lineup. Even better is that fact that they are a great TEAM
3. France-IMO the dark horse of the tournament. People are really forgetting about the French. They have a VERY GOOD LINEUP. Parker is going to be very very hard to stop, Diaw will post big no.s and Turiaf will get it done INSIDE. They have great balance: Parker at PG, Diaw at PF/SF and Turiaf at C.
