Were the wins over Spain and Germany the STATEMENTS we were looking for?

Question

Team USA's wins over Spain and Germany were some of the most impressive Olympic wins in recent memory. Did the Redeem Team finally serve up the type of statement many fans were looking for?

Answer 1

The game against Spain and Greece... yes.

But I think Kobe was right when he said mid-game that Germany have just given up and ain't even trying to win. Can't blame them, though... they won't get to the Quarterfinals anyways, even if they win against the US.

But the real threat here is Argentina... now that would be the statement game they're after.
