Raze, just take a look at the 2010 roster. It was a gutsy team to put out there. If Kevin Durant would have had an off game, they may have been exposed. [/quote] I think I get what your saying. Brazil and Russia games were close. It depends on how you define luck. When I was in 7th grade I was a nerdy kid that was in no means on the top of the popularity hierarchy. Whenever my name was mentioned in the circle of popular girls or any girl for that matter,a resounding "ewwwww" was heard. So you can imagine my surprise in may the last month of my 7th grade year I was invited to the birthday party of the head cheerleader of the middle school. I consider that luck. I also consider it lucky that during game of spin the wheel I got to kiss said popular girl. That was all luck. In contrast Kevin Durant at the tender age of 23 just won his 3rd NBA scoring title last week. That's a testament to his skill not luck. None of the foreign teams could put pressure Durant, many times because of USA excellent ball movement and player movement Durant was left wide open. yet it just wasn't Durant. Team USA showed that they could consistently out rebound opponents. Tyson Chandler, Lamar Odom, Kevin Love outplayed their counter parts just about every game. Lamar Odom the NBA 6th man of the year was more formidable than most any of his counterparts. No team had an answer for Andre Igudola. USA went undefeated and captured gold. Brazil was the only team that brought USA to final seconds. IMHO luck had little or nothing to do with USA winning gold. The roster is stacked with guys who were excellent players who outperformed their opponents. Even If Durant didn't go off every game no team besides Brazil showed they could over match the defense of team USA. The most remarkable feat of team USA was how they kept teams from scoring for long stretches in games.That was an act of skill not luck.

Chris Bosh has a strained abdominal muscle. He may be out for 3 months. [/quote] I feel sorry for him and the Heat who have been playing great but this is good news from a Team USA perspective (I think Chandler/Griffin/Love/Davis is a more formidable front court).

Not surprising but Coach K says he'll be done with Team USA after the Olympics.
