The USA continues their journey in the Tournament of the Americas with a tough game against Brasil, one of the better teams in the world! The USA will put their unbeaten record on the line (8-0 overall, 2-0 in the second round); Brasil is also 2-0. The winner of this game will have the inside track to winning the pool strengthening their seeding in the final round which starts in just a few weeks.
Team USA is coming off a very strong performance against Argentina and is hoping to continue their run! Assistant coach Brian has been working with the players this week. He has been bribing them to work hard and continue to improve by reaching into one of his many bags of money in a “cash for skill improvement”. Anytime a player shows definite improvement from the previous week, he seems to get a little richer! Other countries are crying foul over this, but apparently its legal for Brian do what he wants with his money.
The team learned today that Matt Hurst and Charles Dube will not be in attendance for tonight’s game. Willis Lundy, still bitter about being left on the roster, called a half dozen or so of the players to tell them of a ‘camaraderie’ event the team would be participating in. The plan was to get many of the newer players to go get a bikini wax “in honor” of playing the Brazilians. Well, Joe Bronson and Logsdon got wind of this and helped spread the word that this wasn't a team sponsored event, and not a good idea. Well, Hurst and Dube were a little overzealous still trying to fit in and prove their worth, so they went early to be first to get their bikini wax.
Now, these two hairless wonders have a nasty rash “down there”, and can hardly walk let alone run and play basketball. So now the team will have to continue their winning ways without their two up-and-comers.
Join us tonight in the live chat at 9 PM EST for what should be a great game of basketball, and fun chat!
GO USA!!!
