July 6, 201115 yr Author :thumb: Free or do you have to have a FIBAtv membership? You have to sign up but I am not sure if there is a fee or not, I think there may be a very small monthly fee you can get if there is a fee. I'll check on it. But, the USA won't be there!

Hate to see them get beat by a couple of Eastern Europeon teams like that. I know it wasn't exactly cream of the crop of the u19 players but still should have been enough talent to make it into the medal games. They won the year Darius and Mack played, don't see that much of a discrepency in talent from that team and this team.

I know it wasn't exactly cream of the crop of the u19 players but still should have been enough talent to make it into the medal games. They won the year Darius and Mack played, don't see that much of a discrepency in talent from that team and this team.As Blue Magic hit on, this wasn't a very talented team, only a couple of players that most people would have heard of. The USA thinks they can slap any team together with maybe 2 good players and win, well they can't. They got lucky in a few games and there were some questionable calls on some of their wins. There were some attitude problems as well that should have had harder disciplinary action.
July 8, 201115 yr Author 43% from the field, 0-9 from the three, only 8 assists. As I mentioned about attitudes, Carson went on twitter the first day of the tourney complaining about how he didn't think they should have practice so much and how the coaches were "controlling". They should have shipped him home right then!
July 11, 201115 yr Author The US finished 5th, very well could have been 6th, but they pulled out a win in the last minute to beat Australia. The US was 44% from the field, 22% from the three. Huge Greenwood for Aus ended up with 26 and will be a nice player for New Mexico. Lithuania beat Serbia in the finals, Jonas Valanciunas had 36 points, 72% FG, 3 blocks, 3 steals, 8 boards. I am sure the Cavs are having second thoughts about passing him up last month. But Toronto is a very nice city, and less pressure on him there.
