  • Group B, Day 3, USA vs. Brazil

    Quite a few NBA (and NBA rookie) players on the team - what are your thoughts on the match? They have beaten the USA team a few times before on international tournaments...

    There is nothing that we can do.

    I just hope to see Brazil playing well and free of injuries.

      USA is gonna lead by 20 by half-time and it will be the walk in the park, just like the other games so far. Brazil is on Croatia's level or weaker.

        I thought Brazil would play a lot better than they are right now. Unfortunately, I don't think they stand a chance against USA. The important thing is that Brazil finish second in group and get good placement in knockout stage to succeed.

            Why, is he your favourite player......

            I seriously doubt that Brazil can win this game, I just hope however that they can teach the rest of us how to play against the US

              We will win by 85x84 win with Machado's 3 point ball at buzzer...

              I'm kidding

              but i think the team will play better against Slovenia and Croatia, this 2 victory by 15 points is not a parameter, cause we used a lot of bench on this 2 first games.

                Think the US takes it pretty comfortably, though Brazil will probably keep it closer for awhile.

                    ^^ Nice!

                    I think even Paul the octopus would fail in this tourny.

                    As for the game, again, I hope someone pushes the US to a more difficult position, however, I guess it won't happen in the group stages. Good luck to Brasil.

                      i had my doubts about this so called "b" team. but after seeing the destruction of 2 decent european teams like croatia and slovenija i have to admit no one is beating the US team. maybe someone will challenge them in the medal round but not beat them. this team is balling and its main opponents are barely getting by. spain is 1-1 and not clicking may not win its group and prolly play argentina in quarters. argentina is eeking wins right now, serbia 1-1, hellas will now play with its full squad. lets see what ellades does now. france and turkey look good. i say

                        USA should win again easily but I expect a less margin than that against Croatia and Slovenia, 15 points margin for example. Brazil is hopeless.

                          Well, most of US opponents have been jump-shooting teams. You can't beat them with that type of tactic. Inside play + slowing the game will only work.

                            I voted for USA to win.

                              Many teams try to slow down the game but they just cannot manage, especially when US presses them up top. We see this over and over again, the US force their opponents to play their fast game. At the end, the team who will bring us down will be a team that hits all their shots and has a good inside game, with a fair amount of decent D. Just not sure who it will be.
