Loving the coverage from channel 9 for this game!!
This USA team is extremely overrated. They only beat Argentina by 6, Brazil by 11, and Lithuania by 5.
And we are talking about an extremely old Argentina team, a Brazil team that isn't that deep, and a Lithuania team that is definitely one of the weakest Lithuanian teams ever.
Yeah and France beat Argentina by 7 so the US must be crap...oh wait......USA beat France by 28.
What a ridiculous post. This is tournament play. Anything can happen on any given day.
Lietuva shot the ball amazingly. 63% from 2fg, and 43% from 3fg. They were pretty hot. The USA still shot the ball @ 54% from 2fg but fell in love with the 3 ball and went 10/33. If the USA don't go 19/31 from the foul line its a comfortable win. It's tournament play, if you win the gold it doesn't say you only beat Lietuva by 5. Whether you win by 5 or 83 like against Nigeria, your still 4 - 0.

You are trolling if you think USA isn't incredibly overrated.

How highly are they rated? Al I've heard is they are gold medal favorites but have weaknesses inside.
Kobe compared them to the '92 team and was laughed at for it at the time, we were right.
