Britain coach Chris Spice says the guard couldn't commit to playing for the host nation after he was traded from the Detroit Pistons to the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday.

Spice says ''It's really disappointing as he's a world-class player who would have made a huge difference.''

Shame for GB. They needed his scoring. Deng can't do it on his own.

Compared to the rest of our 2 guards, yes, Gordon is world-class...

Sucks but we'll have to get by without him. Need Pops to show up...

I wonder if we will set the records for most points allowed and margin of defeat.
