The Official Team USA Basketball Thread: Going For The Gold

[AAKing23]

So who ya'll got starting. Im going with CP3 Kobe Chandler Bron and KD. If im Melo im kind of steamed considering he was their best overall player in 08.

Unless they plan on starting K Love, that's probably the starters

Is it confirmed that he will sit out?

If so thats great. If im Riley i ban any Heat player from that sh!t. That short season hurt a lot of players with all these back to back to back games. I dont think we've ever seen a season with so many YOUNG PLAYERS going down

sounds like he might

He admitted to the Associated Press Friday that he may need to skip the Olympics this summer in London to rehab — or have surgery on — the left knee he had to have drained in the second round.

“I’ve got to make a decision on what my knee needs and what’s best, because my career and finishing my career strong is what’s important to me,” Wade said. “And I know, yeah, the Olympics are coming up. It’s something I really want to do. But at the same time, if I have to make a big decision, if something has to happen surgery-wise, that will have to be a step I have to take. My loyalty and my commitment to Miami Heat basketball is the No. 1 thing.”

this team should be more than enough for gold (if they all play) but as always our lack of long distance sharp shooters could come back to bite us especially in the international game
