Pretty much everyone in this thread said USA would beat AUS by 20+
*USA Basketball* WOMEN EARN GOLD v. ESP (101-72)! MEN EARN GOLD v. SRB (96-66)!

I watched Olympic basketball games since 1992 dude.
This squad is supposed to do better.
But if they continue like this 2004 might happen again.

Right
I re-call a bunch of people spewing out how no team should come close to even be COMPETITIVE against the USA. Let alone winning a game.

Not watching the game but is KD letting Barea check him like cp3 (granted CP3 is a way better defender)

Boogie has looked like complete trash 
struggling like Timmy did years ago
Also, Durant is unrecognizable right now.
Very fun game. Australia's offense is gorgeous

Of course. They don't watch international ball or anything else besides the NBA. The US is supposed to win every game, but not every game is going to be. 30 point rout.

Basically. Dude is showing his f boy tendencies out there. Durant from the World Championships Squad played with more fire than this clown.

Usa better get it together on defense or thibbs will make the next timberwolves practice 4 hours.

maybe it's the lineup or how they have been practicing.
team usa has all-league defenders on the team, no excuses. teams should be struggling to score on them
if you have to play jimmy/klay/dray/dj/pg then do it. defense should be way better.
still would've preferred drummond over cousins on this team
still think usa wins by double digits when this gm is all said and done

Good *** game so far.
Someone send DeMarcus back home. He gotta have more fouls than points in the last 2 games. Out here pouting. Fix your face, you're repping the country.

Usa team 92, 94, 96 were much dominant. The 2000 squad almost lost one game but managed to be flawless. 2002 with the b-squad was a shame. 2004 failed by losing the semifinal game and went for bronze only. 2008 and 2012 were really good. Also much respect to the 2014 squad which were Labelled as b squad but they proved to be worthy to win the world championship as they gave everything they had.

The exact same reasons I gave are the exact reasons AUS is up right now. This team has way too much NBA talent and too scrappy to not at least keep the game somewhat close. They even have the size in the paint to mitigate USA's favorable matchup.
I don't know if they'll win, but this will definitely be pretty close. Maybe USA pulls away at the end by like 7-9 points
The 2014 squad also didn't play any true competition in 2014. They lucked out avoiding most of the better teams in Rio.

I didn't watch any games of the 2010 world championship. That's why I didn't mention them.

Like Fran said, people forget 2012 team went into the 4th quarter losing to Lithuania
It'll be interesting to see if that happens today, considering 2012 team was much more talented and cohesive

I didn't. More of the reason why I said this team was bound to have AT LEAST one competitive game.
