Team USA Hardly Invincible Once Again

That’s it?
That’s the USA men’s basketball team that is seeking redemption for a bronze finish at Athens?
This could be a long two weeks then.
Team USA struggled for most of the game before pulling away and defeating Australia 87-76 on Tuesday.
Yes, I know it was the final tuneup before they play China on Sunday.
But last I checked, Australia is not known for basketball.
Koalas and Steve Irwin, sure.
You have to beat a team by more than 11 when their best player on the floor is named Patty (No disrespect to Patty Mills, a great young stud at Saint Mary’s College).
If the United States goes against a country with an inside presence (China and Yao Ming) and they go cold from three-point range (3-for-18 against Australia), the “Redeem Team” could be looking at another embarrassing performance in the Olympics.

They won by 11 points. I dont see what the big deal is. Im pretty sure they wont play like this when its crunch time. I think they got a little to relax.
To me i do not lebron james at all and i would love to see him ride the bench for the rest of the season
The bet a team that bogut did not play and they only won by 11 they were not relax and it showed 3 for 18 from three, i agree we may see another redempition team in 2012.

We are going to bring home the gold, if you have Kobe & Lebron on the same time how can you lose. USA all day let’s get it!!
