Well, tonight they could have beat them to a pulp....maybe.
Nah, they'd have lost that one too. The NBA was exposed in the Olympics as a bunch of spoiled, whining, overpaid players with mediocre skills who can't play fundamentally sound basketball to save their lives. The pro game has devolved into a hip hop, dunk-till-you-drop, streetball game that hardly resembles what I remember watching in the 60s,70s and 80s.
Frankly, I don't know why anybody watches; it's boring when compared to the game as it used to be played. I quit watching ten years ago.
