Carnival of the NBA #49 is being hosted by Passion and Pride, a blog that focuses on the Philadelphia 76ers. I contributed my post explaining The Real Story Behind Team USA's Losses in Previous FIBA Events. Although the numbers clearly show that Team USA's primary problems happened on defense, I have no doubt that prior to the 2008 Olympics we will once again be bombarded by "expert" commentaries that declare how important three point shooting will be for Team USA--and we will be told that, based on his scoring average, Michael Redd played a "critical" role in the FIBA Americas tournament, even though Redd did enough "garbage time" work in that tournament to join the sanitation workers union.
