I reckon the guys were threatened by the Americans, hence their very poor defense. 1 Like |

EzeUche: Just imagine if the team was full of Eastern Nigerian players such as Emeka Okafor, Kelenna Azubuike, Ekpe Udoh, Ime Udoka and Andre Iguodala. Eh. Okafor sucks and probably peaked in 2005, 2006. Azubuike has a bad knee. Ekpe Udoh is pretty bad. Ime Udoka is OLD and cannot guard anyone. Igoudala's father is from Edo. Lol You don't know how to put together a team, bruh 1 Like |

onila: I hrd carmelo anthony was laughing throughout the game. .shame on him, its not funny Carmelo is a loser. He is the type of guy who will shine if someone else is providing the leadership (LeBron, Kobe, Paul, Durant). But where did he lead his Knicks to over the past two seasons? First round exits He can be laughing at Nigeria now, Nigeria will be laughing at him in the 2012-2013 season when his Knicks get beaten up in the postseason...AGAIN Carmelo ko, marshmellow ni |

The bitter truth is that there's no way Nigerians can withstand the Americans, when it comes to B-Ball. Nuff said!! 2 Likes |

Like I said, we got the spanking, in our defence, that ref gave em wayy too many free throws, and we were able to dunk in 73 points, we almost tried, but our defense was too weak this time. And lemon shoes..... |

This game just reminds me of the boxing match btw Samuel Peters and Vitali Klitscho.We were both disappointed. I am disappointed after our impressive runs but the team did well initially.Don't know whether they were overwhelmed or they had complex but the gap is so humongous. |

We all know that bball is an American thing just like soccer is an European thing & bombing is a bok.o thing . I'm sure that a college team in d US will still beat Team Nigeria though with a lesser margin. Lesson learnt: our players were not as experienced as Team USA. Secondly, our defense was weak. Moving Forward, We need to develop our local bball league & as a matter of fact, introduce bball as an extra-curricular ryt from our primary schools. |

I hope we bounce back with the Argentina game and redeem our image. Its called "damage control". The damage has already been done and unfortunately recorded in history books. God bless Nigeria |

I humbly suggest the Nigerian National Flag be flown at half mast in remembrance of yesterday's brutal rape both in Nigeria and also in the diaspora... it was a very very poor performance, there is definately no excuse for such loss, even if it meant the team fouling out to protect the basket, at least some level of pride.. they showed too much respect to the americans, many were carried away playing Kobe, Lebron, Melo for the first time(for others seeing them for the first time was a shocker). Irrespective of the level of play the Americans have achieved over the years based on a well structured NBA, yesterday's performance is not an epitome of the Nigerian Spirit..it was abysmal to say the least. 1 Like |

Chai! seeing the pix above even increased my anger! Choi! What could be going on in the mind of those guys?.. See how they were laughing at us without respect Anyway, I believe our able president will set up a 10 man committee to look into this defeat and make recommendations to the Federal government to set up another committee that will oversee our National basketball team as we go back to the drawing board .. Na wah o. Since I was small, we are always "going back to the drawing board" after every major international competition in any sport. When we go draw dis our drawing finish naw? |
