Should the USA win gold?

Question

I think they should since they have the best players in the world thier is no excuses when you have the group the USA team has.

I mean just having Lebron and Kobe and CP3 is a championship team.

I would be pissed off, Basketball is an American game (no offence) all the good players are in the NBA

Answer 1

they will s***w it up..trust me

they barely won the  last game

Answer 2

What up SteveYaoMac,

There is no reason the USA should not win the gold this year.  For one thing it's the focus- they've come out and basically told the world- this is a year for redemption.  The last near decade of International/Olympic basketball the USA has brought doubt to their place in International basketball (especially losing 3 games in the last Olympics) and so they need to play with that chip on their shoulder- but also to not get cocky -- learning from our recent history of failures.

In the USA's mind anything short of a gold should be a failure.  And these players are certainly the most talented in the world.  It'll be a tough test- but i think the expectation from this team is there and it'll be disappointing and frankly an embarassment if TEAM USA doesn't bring home the gold.  i expect them to be undefeated and win the gold- though there will be some tough challenges along the way.

Got to play with some pride and some respect for their opponents.

Yes only because Argentina is a older team now. They also have to learn how to stop the pick and roll against Greece and maybe they will have a chance.It's not about have alot of superstars on one team, they still have to work well as a team. That's why the United States didn't get gold last time around.  

Answer 4

Man after last game.....i don't think they have it. I was rooting for them but i don't know now.

Answer 5

Spain? I heard someone say Spain? No offense to the Spaniards, but that team is a bunch of chumps. Team USA is at it's best right now! It's never been this good for 10 years. If USA's gonna ever win another Gold, it's gonna be this year.  

Answer 6

LETS GO USA!!they have to win..they have the best players..if they dont thats goin to be embarrasing

Answer 7

Why wouldn't they

Answer 8

I don't think there is any question whether they SHOULD win.  It's WILL they win.  I think they will, but I have a feeling there are going to be some very close games.  A lot of these teams have been playing together for years, and the players know their roles.  They are going to give the US a run for their $$.

I'd be pissed too, but not completely surprised.

Answer 9

sure

Answer 10

They play of the guards will be key. Kidd cannot start for the US. I repeat. CANNOT! The US must play tough on defense and get back quickly on D as well. It seemed they could not stop the pick and roll but Coach K will patch that leak up. I think they will roll through the competition. I'd be shocked if they are ever even down at any point in the games and would be devastated if they lost.  

Answer 11

they should win coz they are the highest paid in the world

Answer 12

You have to realize though that some of those good players that play in the NBA are foreign players  . The rest of the world has caught up with the U.S in this sport . Look at the other night when the struggled against Australia . They have missed alot of shots and haven't really played good defense . So they can , but they need to play better defense and the offense needs to beat the zone defense that these countries put on them .

Answer 13

I'm gonna be rooting for them.

Answer 14

Spain will win I think

Answer 15

Answer 16
