This USA team will win the gold barring a Chernobyl-like meltdown. We all knew that they could score, but they're also the best defensive team I've seen since the '92 team. The lineup of Kobe, LeBron, CP3, Howard, and Bosh was incredible. I don't think they all played together until towards the end of 1st or sometime in the 2nd quarter, but China could barely get the ball past half court when they were on the floor.
Also, anyone saying that the rest of the world has caught with USA is on crack. We may lose a game and we may not even win the gold, but this team will not lose to anyone this year without the other team absolutely shooting the lights out. Based on what I saw yesterday, no one is going to come within 15 points of Team USA this year.
