2012 Olympic Basketball

Who do you have to win it all?

I got USA winning the gold!

USA has the best team, but haven't been playing all that well so far. IMO the reason is they just aren't putting out full effort. If they play hard and play to win, they should have no trouble taking GOLD.

ATM, they are up 15 over Spain late in the 3rd q. This is a warm up game. USA might have had extra motivation after Paul sp? Gasol trashed em a bit.

USA ended up winning... *sigh* They did deserve it though.

Its unfortunate Rubio will not be playing and Marc Gasol may miss the olympics as well. We´ll see. Im still going for Spain, USA might be a better team but Spain can do a great job as well. In any case, thank god they are in different groups so the final can be USA vs Spain.

Doesn't the United States win most every year?

Most, but not all. They have played like pansies in the past and lost.

Why are Americans so good at ball? Or are other countries not getting enough exposure?
