"To lose any game is a shock to us," U.S. star Carmelo Anthony said. "We came in with the mentality to win the game and the gold medal."

I dont think people will give Greece proper dues. Me being Greek, im hella proud. Going to school today, telling people i told you so felt so great. Greece just played so much better, good D, and hit their shots! They were the Euro Champs and 7-0 too! Usa couldnt hang, they didnt play the way we know they could.

The problem was shooting and who didn't they bring??? Adam Morrison, all the guy does is shoot lights out!! All the players the US have are good shooters, but they play an all-around game not just a step back and drill a three in your grill. Jerry Colangelo and Coach K needed Adam Morrison, but they go home with a bronze instead of a gold medal.
