Since the Big 10 obviously doesn't challenge the ACC, can't the ACC play a more worthy opponent like the Pac 10, Big East, or SEC?

there are just whispers goin around that Wade doesn't address any of the needs of TEAM USA

do you think he should be left off the team?

read this on ESPN truehoop (a user wrote this to Truehoop)

do you agree?

:"To me he represents (as a basketball player, not as a person) the pinnacle of what is wrong with American basketball. He destroys the potential of basketball, as described by Chuck Klosterman, by making a mockery of the rules through falling down every time he shoots, be it lay up or jump shot.

He travels, often, and doesn't get called for it.

Frankly, I don't think he plays basketball the way it was meant to be played.

My dislike aside, the story got me thinking on something that needs to be addressed sooner or later: why is D-Wade virtually guaranteed a roster spot on the 2008 Olympic roster? For two years it has been a "forgone conclusion that D-Wade would be one of the stars of the 2008 roster, despite the fact that he was injured last summer and wasn't able to play.

And, while yes, D-Wade can score, where is he going to get minutes when you have LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Kobe Bryant who were true go-to players this last summer?

Redd is a better pure shooter and every team needs a specialist like him. What does he bring to the team? In a word  turnovers. But, he also dominates the ball and does not know or hasn't learned how to play without it. Don't get me wrong, when he is on (see the 2006 3rd place game in Japan) he is dominant. I know the competition was better in 2006.

But the chemistry in 2007 was amazing. It reminded be of the beauty of basketball. The problem is D-Wade doesn't add to the chemistry, he takes away from it. Kidd, Williams, Paul, LeBron, Kobe, Redd, even Joe Johnson, Tayshaun Prince, and Carmelo Anthony (if you consider them back court since team USA runs a lot of 4 out, 1 in sets); these are the guys I want playing to win.

As great of a player as D-Wade is in the NBA, his game does not translate to international, team-oriented basketball. I really, truly believe he does not need to be on the national team.

2007-11-26 16:36:09 · 10 answers · asked by Colts Fan 1

its too early to say, but it seems like the Wizards are not missing Arenas as much as we expected. Daniels is a solid point guard who can also score and play defense, and Butler and Jamison are all-star players who are playing really well. Tonight, they beat the Mavs.

What are your thoughts?
