With its bounce-back win last night over Argentina, the U.S. Men’s National basketball team avoided a three-game losing streak… something akin to missing three times in a row trying to brush your teeth.

With losses to Nigeria and Australia this week the U.S. team showed its vulnerability, or perhaps the fact that the rest of the world is, you know, actually good. It’s not like the Dream Team days in which we weren’t really sure whether any of those other countries actually had basketball courts or not.

I realize these were only exhibition matches, but you still try to win, right? This is like the Harlem Globetrotters losing two in a row to the Generals. (Those were only exhibition games too.)

This is one of those times where rooting for Goliath is fun.

And lest we forget… winning is fun.
