1)True USA is missing Howard and Bosh.
2)You're right Chandler ant center and Love at PF would be perfect. After that Deron Williams or Paul at PG. The other two spots could go to LeBron, Kobe or Durant. Something like that would be the best starting line up. Very traditional, very strong line up.
3)Kobe always shows up when needed. LeBron did have 30pts.
4)I told you! Iggy wil become one of the most valible players of this team. He is Mr. Intagible. He has also become a solid shooter 39% from 3. His free throws are atrocious.
6)I agree 100%! The USA defense is what will set them apart. We(USA) no longer have huge advantage in athlecism over the other elite teams. Which is a big part of what this smaller line up is counting on to win gold. We do however have an advatage in our style of defense. "...Defense wins championships" that old addage rings true.
7)I'll say it again. Brazil may be the most underrated team in the Olympics.

You were spot on about Iguodala, he knows his role and he does it well. A solid glue guy. With that said it is increasingly obvious that Harden really doesn't have a place on this team. I mean he's a heck of a talent to have on the bench and should the injury bug bite he would be more than sufficient to step it up but I'm not seeing what he brings that you don't already get from the rest of the roster. He'll have is time in 2014.
Brazil has been good for years and I always thought that they were on the cusp of something really good great but they never got it together. In a lot of ways they remind me of the Spanish football team of the 90s and early 2000s and we know how that worked out for Spain.
