    Did you really expect the USA to keep dominating like they did 30 years ago with the Dream Team? Did you really not expect the rest of the world to eventually catch up? Maybe you're more arrogant than I thought.

    Dominating? No.

    Winning? By all means.

    Losing exhibition games before a big tournament is not the end of the world. It happens every time...

    It's when it actually starts when it counts.

    It started. They count. We lost.

    I'm reading grumblings that the players are dissatisfied with the way Pop is running things.

    MUTINY!!!

    I think Serbia is running away with Gold this year. Finally some change of pace.

    Ain't no Serbia this year, Teej.

    Believe it or not, they didn't qualify.

    I took a stab on them at +800 to win gold after Luca's performance... although I missed a larger payout.

    I read somewhere online that they were +1800 before the events started.
