3, I agree with you. Tyson Chandler would have been a great inclusion into the team.
And let's not forget that CP3 is in the team, and they both work so well together(CP3 loves throwing ooops to Chandler).

Playa, you reckon that the USA team are gone if Howard and Redd are shutdown. They have Kobe,Lebron,CP3,J-Kidd etc.
Every team is going to have a tough job trying to shut down the US Team. If you shutdown one superstar, another one will just come up and do their own thing.

The only way the USA team can lose the Olympics is if they shoot really badly and don't play defence. Other than that they have an advantage in every other aspect of the game-Athleticism,Overall skill,Intelligence and they also have a more superior coach with Coach K.

yes, the opals will be playing as well, I think they have a good chance of winning gold.

There's just soo many teams who can win it. Anyone can grab the Gold, simply because there is so many quality teams, especially from Europe.
You got to watch out for those darkhorse teams-those teams that have slipped under the radar, but are still one hell of a good team.
I think Germany,Italy,Brazil,China, Russia and Lithuiania are the dark horse teams. Any one of them can knock off the more favoured Spanish, American and Argentinian teams.

Thanks Rat10, I just had a look. Interesting to see that the French had all those 3 players-Parker,Turiaf and Diaw for the 2007 Eurobasket.
Maybe, the other players are lacking in ability and skill, as i would have thought that to come 8th out of 16th at Eurobasket with some quality NBA players was dissappointing.

Breaking news....

NBL aspirant Paul Bell has had his chances of making the NBL dented following a car accident late last week. Police investigating the accident have likened the scene to "having Forest Gump Behind the wheel of a Shrimpin Boat"

Bell now appears certain to take his one move and stay in the ABL.

Rat10, didn't the French make it to the Olympics.? WOW! Shows you just how good European basketball is. I wonder if parker, turiaf and diaw were all playing in the Eurobasket Champs.
Greece have one NBA player Rat10, Kosta Koufos. He only just got drafted, so he isn't a fully rostered NBA player.

Bolks, they have one-Kosta Koufous who came through the 2008 NBA Draft and was selected by the Utah Jazz.
However, the Greeks do have alot of quality Euroleague Players, who mainly play for Panathanaikos.
