right now i'm watching our "dream team" try to hold off lithuania with just 4minutes left in the 4th... argh. i have quite a bit to say about this but will hold off until i see who wins

I still blame coaching errors... PJ should have been the coach... just because they won the NBA championshit dosen't always mean they are the best team but next year will prove my point I am sure of it =) They didn't let the players play their game... LeBron didn't get any time in hardly but when he did he was scoring right and left... Playing against mostly zone defenses however we were pretty well screwed because that basically eliminates all but the hardest fighting inside shooters (LeBron and Kobe and I would put AI in there too) and the team really didn't have many outside shooters ... and the ones we had didn't get play time...
i don't necessarily blame the guys who played... i blame the guys who were asked to play and didn't (shaq, kobe, steve francis and a host of others). who passes up the opportunity to win olympic gold?? this was not America's finest squad of guys. they are all good independently of one another but this wasn't our best all-around squad. Additionally, since I'm griping, - i think it's horsepucky that the "dream-teams" (men's & women's USA basketball teams) have been shacking up aboard the Queen Mary II and not in the Athlete's Village.
I enjoyed watching Argentina pull off gold. I enjoyed the celebration and just the sheer joy and passion with which they played. I think the "dream-teams" have been too hyped for too long and it's nice to see a true Olympic moment. Plus - Pepe got a gold and I saw him celebrating & just going nuts... he's never been one to show his emotion so this must've just been his crowning achievement. Rock on Pepe Sanchez - you are golden.
agreed, theres a lot that could have been different and I'm sure all that helps the rest of the world see us for the country that we really are.....
.........In a way that it totally dosen't help anything and makes us all look like a bunch of primadonna fuckheads....
but then again the day that people stop wearing their asshats is probably the day when each one of those things you never thought would happen will.. California will break apart, hell will freeze over, pigs and purple monkeys will be flying everywhere... and as cool as all that stuff might sound I'm not so sure I want ot be around when it happens =P
Hey Crystal! I need to get ahold of you. I was wondering if you would be interested in being my wedding photographer. It's been a while since I have seen you. I hope everything is going well.
