Thats no dream team...not that we will ever have that stacked of a team, but looks like a gold medal squad.

For sure.
Should be a gold medal squad.

Unless someone shoots the light out from downtown against USA, I can't see them losing.

I think in the past, they have been giving playing minutes to everyone and that might have cost them a game or two.

When you give Lebron 25 minutes, his replacement 20 minutes and your third string guy 15 minutes and you lose the game by 2 points - I'm going to ask them why weren't they more selfish?
Play Lebron for 30 minutes, give his replacement 15 minutes and bench the other guy for the entire game?

No doubt that USA should win but sometimes I just think what the heck are they doing.
