Flash Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) USA in a rape over everyone minus Spain...and even that might be a big win without Rubio. Their front court is scary though. Edited June 7, 2012 by Flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my Stats Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 It will be interesting with Wade and Bosh out. Wade beasted in 08 and US was already thin up front. Love will replace him admirably but he will make Bosh look like KG defensively in retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I like what I saw from Huertas. He does a good job controlling the pace for the team and is an exceptional passer. Brazil had a ton of turnovers, but had the U.S. shot a better percentage from distance they would have won by a much larger margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
