Boy was that the most pathetic thing I have ever seen. First time in my life I feel ashmed of being an NBA fan. This group can't shoot and today they couldn't pass the ball(26 turnovers) I can forgive them for the D they played since that involves teamwork and they have only been together for a few days. The big problem was on offense. Italy played a zone defense thus the big players on the US team had no room to work with. To bust a zone you need shooters and the US don't have any. Also the team doesn't have a true point guard, and no Marbury doesn't count. European teams have guys that actually know how to play basketball, while in America we have too many big tall athletic guys pretending to know how to play basketball.

From SI.com By Jeff Benedict The past five weeks could not have gone much worse for the team prosecuting the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case. A court clerk mistakenly released to the media transcripts of a closed hearing involving the accuser's sexual history, and the court later posted on its website a sealed document that revealed the accuser's last name, prompting an apology from trial judge Terry Ruckriegle. Lead prosecutor Mark Hurlbert withdrew from the case. Ruckriegle ruled that certain information about the accuser's sexual history was admissible and also released a transcript revealing that Bryant's accuser received more than $17,000 from a victim-compensation fund -- which the defense spun to suggest that she had a financial motive to lie. Now, however, an aggressive move by prosecutors may shift the momentum, and even drag Shaquille O'Neal into court as a witness. SI has learned that prosecutors plan to subpoena a 22-year-old Florida waitress who claims she was the object of unwanted sexual advances by Bryant. Prosecutors have notified Bryant's lawyers that the woman may be called as a witness at the trial, set to begin on Aug. 27 in Eagle, Colo. Her testimony might be used by the prosecution to show that aggressive sexual actions are part of Bryant's pattern of behavior. (Pamela Mackey, Bryant's lead attorney, did not respond to SI's efforts to reach her.) According to the Florida woman and others familiar with her allegation, she was among the employees of Orlando's Planet Hollywood restaurant who worked at a private party at O'Neal's home on Thanksgiving 2002. The Lakers were in Orlando to play the Magic, and O'Neal, who owns a 26,000-square-foot house in the city's Isleworth neighborhood, hosted a team dinner. The woman alleges that Bryant approached her and asked for her cellphone number, which she provided. Later, Bryant asked her to get him a soft drink and bring it to him outside, which she did in the presence of another man. Bryant then cornered her and groped her private parts. She says Bryant laughed as she pushed him away, and that she retreated inside O'Neal's home and called her mother. The next day, the woman says, she received a call from a man who said he was an associate of Bryant's, apologizing for Bryant's behavior. The woman did not initially report any of this to the police. But after Bryant was charged on July 18, 2003, she saw the news conference at which he said of his accuser, "I didn't force her to do anything against her will. I am innocent." This prompted the Florida woman to call Colorado prosecutors and report her alleged encounter with Bryant. After hearing her story, according to sources in the Los Angeles D.A.'s office, investigators from L.A. teamed with Eagle prosecutors and contacted O'Neal through his agent, Perry Rogers, and told him that O'Neal could become a witness in Bryant's case. Within hours the investigators heard from David Chesnoff, a criminal defense lawyer who said he represented O'Neal. Though the investigators assured him that his client was not a suspect, Chesnoff said O'Neal would not speak with them. O'Neal could, however, be called to testify in Colorado. (Chesnoff and Rogers told SI that they could not discuss anything related to their client.) A subpoena was required for the Florida woman because she had decided that she did not want to be a witness in a case in which the accuser has been subjected to threats and smears. Her participation is significant, though, because it could cause Bryant's lawyers to think twice before calling their client to the stand. Under Colorado rules of evidence, the Florida woman can be called as a rebuttal witness by the prosecution, now led by Ingrid Bakke and Dana Easter -- the career sex-crime prosecutors who took over for Hurlbert. John Wolfe, a Seattle lawyer who has represented a dozen pro athletes in sexual assault cases, says it leaves Bryant and his lawyers with a "Hobson's choice: If he doesn't testify, he loses the ability to tell the jury that it was consensual sex. If he does testify, he opens the door for another accuser to allege nonconsensual sexual activity." If the Florida woman does testify, it will be up to the jurors to decide if they see meaningful similarities between Bryant's alleged behavior in Florida and Colorado. According to documents viewed by SI, the accuser in Colorado told police that the first nonconsensual act by Bryant was the groping of her private parts. When she resisted and tried to flee, according to her statement, Bryant allegedly restrained her and blocked the door to his room. Speaking about Bryant's case last week on Z100 radio in Portland, O'Neal said his former teammate would need a jury of rappers -- "Ludacris, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg" -- to get off. Few observers see the case as that one-sided, but Bakke and Easter may have succeeded in putting new obstacles in Bryant's path to freedom.

Don't know However some are claiming he was in the overhead group shot in the first episode. I think I know which guy they are talking about (has green cape and colors similar to Spectre's),but the character was too small for me to say that it was him

By Dave Meltzer Raw last night did a 3.6 rating, down slightly from last week. As most would have figured, the HHH vs. Benoit match did not do well between the 10 and 50 minute mark, but picked up strongly in the final few minutes.

Reminder: today is the day Justice League Unlimited starts tonight at 8:30 pm ET/PT Repeats for JLU episodes will be Sunday at 5:00 pm and 11:30 am the following Saturday.

Would just like to add that today Meltzer said on his website that it could be Edge vs. Chris Jericho vs. Batista at Summerslam, since that match is headlining house shows this week that include Benoit vs. Orton and HHH vs Eugene.

Well the one I'm talking about is this one There is no season 1 DVD set Could you have mistaken the "Super Friends" DVD set for the Justice League since the Super Friends one has a similar cover to the B:TAS Set

I think you are talking about the Justice League Collection DVD Set. If that is the case it collects the first 3 Justice League DVD's that have the first eleven episodes of the show. Here is an episode guide for info Starcrossed is out on DVD as well. Bought it myself yesterday.

Q is officially a Sun, the Clips will not match the offer Clippers traded a second round pick to the Nets for Kerry Kittles. Kittles has one year left on his contract at $10 million. So I'm guessing that the Clips will rent him for a year and go after Ray Allen, Michael Redd or T-Mac (if he opts out) next year.

While Q waits today to see if he will be a Clipper or Sun, he got engaged.

Here are some screencaps from the first episode. Man I can't wait for Saturday Here is the info on the first 13 episodes "INITIATION" A reluctant Green Arrow joins forces with the new Justice League to stop a rampaging nuclear monster in Asia.

"KIDS' STUFF" Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern are transformed into 8-year-olds in a desperate attempt to save the world from the magic of Mordred. "THIS LITTLE PIGGY" It's musical mayhem when Batman and Zatanna join forces to save a teammate from a fate worse than death. "THE RETURN" Nearly two dozen heroes join forces to prevent an all-powerful android from reaching his goal: the recently reformed Lex Luthor.

Here is a pic of Erica as the future Mrs. Superman

Funny you mention them, they appear in the second issue of the JLU comic book. However I don't know if they will appear in the cartoon.

It probably came down to picking between Plastic Man or Elongated Man since they got the same power, and Elongated Man won.

Other notes from the Comic Con -They couldn't get the rights to Blue Beetle, so he is not on the show. - There will be a sequel to Starcrossed, as the Thangarians will return. - Comic book writers J.M. DeMatteis, Warren Ellis, Darwyn Cooke, Ron Zimmerman, and Gail Simone will write episodes for the show. -Gail Simone's episodes involves Green Arrow, Black Canary, The Huntress and The Question going out on a double date. -Paul Dini's Zatanna Episode includes Batman, Wonder Woman, and B'wana Beast. The villain will be Circe. -Luthor and Granny Goodness will be villains in future episodes.
