Answer 2

Answer 3

the usa team always do good in ALL the other tournaments like the fiba, but suddenly suck during the olympics, so dont say "the u.s. will win cuz they whooped argentina in the fiba". lets just hope they have enough big guys to play good defense !

Answer 4

Ya. Definetley. Their only competition is Greece and Argetina, but they beat Argentina by like 40 points in FIBA

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

They will get close but not too close. There are many good european teams that can win the gold. Sorry to say this, the U.S. will not win this year.

Answer 7

they better win

Answer 8

They have a strong shot this year, putting in the strongest players in the league today. However, there are two main problems they need to work around:

1. A majority of their players are scorers (Even their PGs Chris Paul and Deron), meaning it will be hard to share the ball for the players.

2. They have a weak post presence, with only 3 strong guys (Bosh, Boozer, and Dwight).

Answer 9

I believe they will....

Answer 10

If they can cooperate and work together, maybe they can shake off the bad luck of the Olympics.

Teamwork will decide whether the USA gets the gold or not.

Answer 11

ok people theres no way greece can win. their centers are all extremely weak, easily swatted away and dunked on by elton brand or dwight howard. they have decent shooters but thats it. argentina is definatly gonna be a challenge, but i know that USA will find some way to win =)

Answer 12

THEY BETTER! i would say 100% sure but our baseball team lost to canada... CANADA... it the world baseball classic a few years ago so who knows. this years team is straight stacked though.

Answer 13

totallly 100%! all the way lets go USA

Answer 14

sorry to say but no. Because the American basketball team is great and all but the european teams are even better. don't worry i'm american.

Answer 15

yes they will.

Answer 16

It depends upon two things:

1. They need to play team defense. They are a great collection of talent, but it is individual talent. They haven't played a whole lot together. I've played in local leagues for years and we have beat many teams with better players that didn't play as a team. There is simply no replacement for playing together.

2. Do they have guys who can hit the outside J? Yeah, we got guys who can drive and dunk, big deal. In the international game with the defenses that are allowed we need more guys who can hit the spot-up J at a better than 50% clip, otherwise we won't score much.

Answer 17

probably

Answer 18

100% sure

they will
