I think they say it a bit better than me.
Smack: "Well that was terrible. Team USA looked awful, getting rocked by Greece this morning. Everyone shares the blame on this one. The players obviously get most of it. The U.S. missed foul shots, layups, dunks and wide open threes. And even worse, they let Greece - a team not even in the same universe athletically - continuously beat them down the court for easy fast break buckets. The coaches get some of the blame too. Greece was running a basic 2-3 zone (a defense you're taught how to beat when in grade school basketball) and we were running some kind of iso one-on-five offense. And, on top of that, we got butchered by Greeces simple pick-and-rolls on the other end. Theres no excuse for not being able to slow that down. Pick-and-rolls are bascially the backbone of NBA offenses and these guys see them every single day"
