The USA lost. Serves us right for thinking that we can just show up and beat anyone.

I believe that there is not a country in Europe in which they use three referees. I don't understand why they came up with the idea to use three refs if they don't use them...

I read this:
"Reggie (Miller) brought us together,'' Pierce said. "He said the world is against us. The world, the stands, the refs are all against us. The only thing we can do is go out and play hard the rest of the games and get the gold medal.'' on http://espn.go.com/nba/news/2002/0904/1427403.html Don't you think that that's a little childish??

I watched the 2nd half. Because I'm not familiar with the FIBA rules, I can't really comment on the officiating. Didn't seem to affect the game one way or the other.
What I did see was the incredible effectiveness of the Argentinians' offense - spacing, pick and roll, good, crisp passes. Compare that to the NBA-style, one pass, one-on-one, go-to-the-hole style of play. The Argentine team simply outplayed the US in all aspects of the game. Can you say "fundamentals"? The game continues to point out how far international basketball has come.

childish?
Well isn't a leader's job to find some way to buck the troops and move forward? Seems to be that Reggie wasn't making excuses -- he didn't say anything to the press, just to his team -- but trying to get them motivated to come back for the next game. I'd call it head games rather than childishness. T'wil be interesting to see if the loss leads to a stronger team going next time.

How about the great move by Jermaine O'Neal after he had a dunk attempt blocked? I saw this one on SC this morning, and if that were a game where I saw that happen, the player would be politely excused from the remainder of the game. Maybe because it was a bigger stage than a HS game, but I do not believe he was removed from the game. Anyone disagree or agree?
For those of you who didn't see what happened, and Argentine player blocked a dunk attempt by O'Neal, the Argintine player fell to the floor, and O'Neal stepped right on the small of his back - definitely could tell it was no accident!

I don't understand why they don't just send the Lakers, the Nets, or one of the other great NBA teams??
