      Spain can beat USA. In the friendly game, USA won but Scariolo did not show all his cards. Spain play the entire game man to man and they only loose by one. This time, Spain will come with everything and expect all kinds of zone defense.

        The friendly was also in Madrid and I'm sure the USA "didn't show all their cards", either. Why is that excuse always given here?

          The reason is: In FIBA, any team but the USA. Could you imagine if this USA "B" Team wins the Gold, then it will show that we didn't need our best superstars in the WC. It will be a USA-Spain finals! USA wins by 6 points!

              Hopefully that's the way the U.S. players think too. Hubris brings teams down.

                Any country as successful as we are in this sport would feel the same. Are you telling me there's no hubris in Canadian hockey? Brazilian soccer?

                  I think this is best TEAM usa has sent on some big turnament since 1992. Lately USA was sending alot of "stars" who were trying to solo-win against other and you can see result of that aproach. In my oppinion i think biggest disadvantage of USA team is passion sometimes i think they care about their country as much as i care about George W. Bush's sex life

                    Our cards are hidden. The problem is now we don't know where are them.

                      Your "B" team might win the gold, but your "A" team might lose as well. Those are not relative, you lost with better names in 2006, basketball is a more complex game,
                      thats more important how well you've become as a team, and this "B" team shown me more prospect than the superstars including "A" team before. This is not NBA area, this is international area, and worlds basketball level is getting closer day by day, so because of that, soon your players athletic abilities efficieny will reduce minimum, and that day you'll care much more to pick team players instead of picking the superstars..

                        Considering that the A team won Gold at the tougher olympics where better international players participate by an average over 20+ points, how do you figure that the B team is better considering their struggles against BRazil and a weakened Spain?

                          Where did Brazil finished in last soccer World cup? Exactly.

                          Without Hubris they would have even much better record.

                              They lost because they went against their style of play.

                              Still, Brazil is as arrogant in soccer as Amerians are in basketball, but everyone loves the Brazilians and not the Americans. That was the main point, the constant bitterness against "American arrogance" when other countries exhibit the same attitude with similar success and don't get nearly the crap we do for it.

                                I don't love the Brazilian football team, I hope those arrogant pricks lose every time
