Bruce Bowen Cut from U.S.A Olympic team

I think it was a very good decision all bowen brought to the table was defense USA needs scoring just because he has chemistry doesnt mean he fits well with the team.

If Team USA needs anything it is defense. When Lebron, Wade, Melo are your team captains I think you're set on offense.

Well it is a good decision. There's not really any bad defensive players on the team. Carmelo could improve, but overall, we're solid. We have alot of very athletic guys who don't have much trouble staying in front of their man. There's not really a need to hold a spot for a defensive specialist, and if there is, that role is held much better by Shane Battier who brings alot more to the overall game than Bowen.

I think we've got enough offensive firepower w/o egos to clobber everyone.

Come on now we all knew it would happen sooner or later. Yea he can play D but thats all. The team that USA has now has players that can play D and get it done on the offensive end as well. The guy scored 4 points in 5 games. He is the weakest link, goodbye. lol.

Exactly, I still don't understand how people say that they think bowen is better than battier. Four points?!?!?!?! There's no excuse for that when you're beating teams by 50.

Cherry pick for God sake!!!!

Bruce Bowen deserves to be hoed. :(
