I haven't seen much of the men's basketball team playing, because even when they manage to show the game live on the east coast, they still tape-delay it California, and watching sports on tape-delay when I already know the winner just isn't fun.  But it seems like they're getting a bit of a bum rap. Sure, they've had problems coming together as a team, and adjusting to international rules. And there's no way they should have lost to Puerto Rico under any circumstances. But they've improved with every game -- there's absolutely no disgrace in losing a close game to Lithunia -- and if these guys scrap their way to a gold medal, then I'll be cheering for them every step of the way. And not just because Carmelo's an ex-Syracuse guy.</blockquote>
