Re: USA vs Uruguay

That just goes to show how really bad the other teams are. The US
hasn't shown that they can play disciplined basketball. Street ball,
yes. If they are in a real game I have my doubts whether this
undisciplined style of play is going to get them the gold in Beijing.

I've been pleased with Kobe's play - he's got a lot of PFs/TOs, but he's
been taking on the hottest player of each opponent and has his share of
STLs and ASTs too - all the while shooting well.

Redd is shooting great and Anthony moving well without the ball getting
lots of open shots and dunks. James is getting tons of fast break dunks
and drives to the hoop (for a very high %age) - not to mention 70% on 3s.

I just don't think Howard and Chandler are that strong a defensive presence
on the inside and could get in trouble against some solid big men. The
team could use another solid big man that can play D.
