Ok, it's not the finest recording (we did it on the fly w/ our phone), but we're thrilled to bring you the only live talk with Coach Krzyzewski, Team USA's Olympic head coach and Jason Kidd of the Nets. So if you're an NBA basketball fan, or just want to be a fly on the media wall, listen in. You can also download the recording to your iPod.

Hey, don't forget City Weekend is giving you a chance to win free tickets to see USA vs. Australia.

I am now convinced that the Dream Team is going down in flames. Krzyzewski seems to believe substituting humility for actual preparation is enough. I mean, the dude doesn't even have a scouting report on Team China and their scouting report on Russia comes from 'playing them once two years ago.' Sayonara, Dream Team

Methinks someone's overthinking this a tad. This is a team where Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, Carlos Boozer, and Deron Williams are _coming off the bench_. In their last non-exhibition game, they beat Argentina, gold medalists at the last Olympics, by _37 points_. If IU played, say, Fort Wayne's North Side High School, it wouldn't matter if they had an inadequate scouting report. Expect similar results here.
