D.Howard, L. James, J.Kidd, C, Paul, T.Prince, M.Reed, D. Wade, D. Williams.

Furthermore, do you think the current bronze winner will get through to the semis, or will receive yet another thrashing, as usual, by either Argentina, Lithuania or Russia in the Quarters????

Answer 1

Gold USA

Silver Spain

Bronze Argentina

I hope to see some good games, and not a blowout.

Possibly a 12 point lead for the US

However there is a reason that they play the game.

The Olympics has a factor to it all its own.

It causes some to preform so far beyond their previously displayed abilities and others to choke.

Answer 2

The rest of the world will be out-classed by the USA as usual.  Last time was the one-off.

Answer 3

US will win by about 15. i would be happy if i were Spain if i get beaten by less that 20 by the US.

this US team is different from the disappointing team in athens.  this team is too good to lose to anybody.  and last time i checked the US ranks at #1 in the FIBA rankings.

Answer 4

first of all this is the redeem team and it seems that lithuania got whooped by th usa. plus with kobe they would beat any team in the olympics. spain will beat the usa by -20 points
