Like the announcers have pointed out, the US has no shooters.
International rules makes it much more difficult to drive the lane to the basket, which is what the US players are best at.
If the idiots who handpicked this team didn't see what happened to another gang of talented players who were absolutely destroyed by a team when the Lakers got wiped out by the Pistons, they need to be fired. I give Larry Brown credit for being a good coach, but there's no way he can meld a team from all these egos.
Bring back the college players, and hold tryouts like they used to. And bring back college coaches. If Bob Knight can win the Gold with amateurs, I think Mike Kzrcwewski, or however you spell his name, can too. This "Dream Team" crap is a joke now.
