Anybody watch any games? I really wanted to watch several, but I ended up watching only about 1/2 of the US's semi-final qualifying game. Can't even recall who they played now, for crying out loud.
I was thinking they looked a little rough, honestly. It wasn't so much that they were playing great; more that the competition was playing on a lower level. I kept thinking, "Man, they better get their crap together, or they're gonna lose this thing," only to look down and see the lead had actually
increased.
Will be interested to see who's on the team for summer '08 in Bejing. Hopefully they get a good PG backup for Kidd. Also would be good to get a center that plays well. I was a little disappointed in Amare, truthfully.
Speaking of Kidd, I've changed my opinion from last February. The Lakers should have traded Bynum for him. At the time, I would have called for Kupchak's tarring/feathering had he made that trade. In retrospect, I'm thinking it would have been a good trade. C'est le vie.
