But T, doesn't this fall in line with what I kind of said the other day, with regards to this team? This game featured horrible defense by Team USA, along with poor rebounding, and a couple of starters with 2 fouls very early in the first half. Meanwhile, Spain played extremely well offensively, rebounded, was very physical, did not turn the ball over and they still lost, and were down almost the entire game. Like I said before, Team USA would have to absolutely be at it's worst, and 1 of these other teams would have to be near perfect to win the game.
If you ask me, this exemplifies a great team. They are/were so diversified and well balanced that if you take 1 thing away from them, they still beat you by dominating another. USA's offense carried them this game, I mean they put up 38 points in the 1st quarter. Again, they had only 1 close game, although they still won by double digits, in the entire tournament, and it was against the world champs playing for a gold medal. The team was put together very well, with balance in mind, in my opinion.
I thought they did great, and represented the USA very well, and I certainly don't think they underachieved. I was/am very proud of them and want to say congrats and thank you to The Redeem team and all of the other athletes and teams who represented the United States so very wll in the Olympic games.
