The Patriot Act

Waldini:

I'm starting to believe this Team USA may be almost as good as Dream Team II. The majority of the sports writers, with the exception of Eric Neel, said Brazil would be a much tougher opponent than the US' first 3. Well I'm looking at the game now and the US is up 50. Can you imagine next summer when they add Wade off the bench?

USA USA USA

Gangsta D:

Did you guys hear Walton at the end of the game? Saunders reiterated how Barbosa finished with only 4 points. Then Walton was like, "You have to remember he's only 24 years old. He came to this country not speaking any english, blah blah blah." What does that have to do with him getting locked down in this game?!? Hilarious as always...

Waldini:

Funny how he was "held" to 4 points...and who was that by? As soon as they lost, all the excuses came out. Nene was out of shape, Varejo and some other Brazillian wasnt there, blah blah blah

Da Realist:

guys.... you're bragging about the team beating BRAZIL. big deal? soccer, yes...basketball, no. their best player is leandro barbosa. he doesn't even start for phoenix.

now i know you two don't need much of an excuse to trumpet all that is kobe, but c'mon.

Gangsta D:

Why do you hate America? Why can't we get a LITTLE support for our country's basketball team? You must be a Dixie Chick fan.

Da Realist:

you know damn well this ain't about "america". this is just an indirect way to blow kobe the rest of the summer.

Waldini:

Actually it is about America. I told you in 04 I hated how the sports media was quick to point out the deficiencies of Team USA and not stand by them. I personally wanted them to destroy in '08 and leave no witnesses. I cant wait until they add Wade to this team. Sick

Gangsta D:

It's OK. I know you hate the great country we live in. Otherwise you'd be exalting the US team like the both of us. It's OK, no one is gonna take away your freedom...at least not for a few months.

Da Realist:

How old is he anyway? When is he gonna retire? isn't there a snapped achilles or knee problems in his future? seems like i been talking "kobe" with you guys for AGES. that dude was playing when we were in college! How long can the brother play?

Waldini:

He said he's gonna retire when you join his fan club.

Gangsta D:

Not only do you hate America, you wish a torn Achilles injury on the best player on earth. Your hate really knows no bounds does it? How about this? I forsee chronic plantar fasciatis in Drew Weatherford's future. How you like that?

Da Realist:

Actually, i don't. that would be giving him an excuse. i enjoy watching him play from october to the beginning of may. See? i'm a fan.

Waldini:

Notice that dig (beginning of May) :-)
