    Its PR 47 and USA 52 at the half.
    On the offensive end we need to move the ball more and get better shot. I think that will come in time.

    On the defensive end: PR is exposing USA's weak team defense. Its sad. USA is getting totally getting exposed right now.
    don't worry, after a workout in their group at round 1 of the tournament..they should get the feel of the team and sytem. as the tournament goes deeper, they should get better. and that's when other teams would know the real worth of the USA team..exhibition games are worth nothing..real games starts on the end of this month. the important one would be the finals..

    • Not looking forward to a whole tournament of the announcers claiming that the World Cup is considered a bigger tournament than the Olympics throughout the world.

        They aren't exactly wrong though.
        The World Championship(Cup) was always bigger everywhere but the US because we weren't default favorites every time like the Olympics

        • Seriously, I wouldn't be mad if Harden got cut. He's been continuity killing since he's been on the floor.

            The funny thing is they said that then immediately mentioned Lithuania one of the countries where that's definitely bullshit.

So many teams in the tournament are missing key players, so reasonably, if these teams were at full-strength and the US were on the other side of the bracket, I would be very very worried. As it stands, the US probably won't face any serious opposition until the quarter or semi-finals (Australia, Slovenia or Lithuania would be the likely candidates for an upset).
              I think lietuva can pull the upset, in 2012 they played a very close game with a better team usa, but at the end of the day they are going to the finals, and i want them to win it all to be honest.

                  Of course they are, look at the number of players that skip the WC, look at the empty arenas for most games. I realize there are some countries that do not qualify for the Olympics often and the WC is therefore their big tournament, but that is not the same thing.

                  FIBA themselves realize this, that is why they're turning the WC into the main qualifying tournament for the Olympics.

                    I've got mad respect for Puerto Rico and how they handle their business. This is not an easy team for the US to play against because they've got crafty guards that can spread the floor, penetrate & kick, and attack the basket. We needed to be kicked in the teeth a bit by PR to get our attention and let us know that these games won't always be a walk in the park.

                          It seems that puerto rico sometimes needs to give them a slap in the face to wake them up hahaha.

                            You obviously don't know the puerto rican players, but that's ok, your not the only one.
