In 08 or 12 I would have been really concerned but at this point the USA should still win it all. To say Spain would beat the bricks off might look silly in the future
We'll see tonight against Brazil how we look, then we'll have a more clear vision

Yea, highly doubt that anyone "beats the bricks" off of this squad.

We will see if Harden is going to be the "featured player" in the system starting tonight.
The game is in Chicago, the crowd is going to be live

It was hard enough to post in EST just once
Inevitably I would switch back to PST :\

When I can watch a primetime basketball game or a big fight AND still go to the bars at a decent hour, I'll take the West all day

He will get burn in the coming exhibition games.
Colangelo spoke to the team before the game and told them not everyone was going to play; probably so Coach K wouldn't have to worry about getting everyone in the game, and that they would all have a chance during the warm up tour leading up to the World Cup.
Team USA may also bring 13 guys total to Spain and wait till the deadline to cut that final player............. This makes me nervous because it leads me to believe that it is possible the Cousins' (or heavens forbid, Davis) injury is more severe than they are leading on....

Did anybody else make a 3 besides Klay?

Curry and Harden each hit 1, Klay hit 2.
the team shot 4-17 overall from deep..... hopefully they adjust to the 3 pt line by the time the games matter...

Yeah don't think USA could win without hitting the 3 consistently

Between Curry, Harden, Klay, maybe Korver, maybe Parsons I'm not really worried about the three ball. I'm worried about health and frontcourt depth. They're an Anthony Davis injury away from being kinda ****** down low

I think it's safe to say shooting won't be a problem. The only non-shooters on the team are (arguably) Rose, Faried, and the centers. Everyone else is money. It's just a matter of getting comfortable in the offense and the team moving the ball properly. Also getting used to the international ball which is different than the NBA one.
Also :x :x @ how Ant took over the game
