That's a shite team compared to what it could be.

I really wanted to see Anthony Davis too ... sucks.

Not really surprised. Would have liked to see Davis over Griffin, but other than that the team looks like what I expected after all the injuries. Should bring home the gold.

Exact same number of centers as the 2008 Olympic team and the 2010 FIBA team.

I would have liked to have seen Davis too but it's probably better for the hornets that he didn't get picked.

Chandler will shut down Pau just like he did when the Mavs swept them on the way to their title

What's the starting lineup? I'm guessing Paul, Bryant, Durant, James, Chandler?

The lane is wider. PAU loves that shite and Tyson is not used to it.

Sucks that Davis turned his ankle when he did. At least he'll have another shot in 4 years even if they pass that shitty 23 year old max rule.

Fail. Dwight Howard was awful in the 2008 Olympics. Howard never adjusted to international play and was in foul trouble almost every game. Chris Bosh was way more important to that team.

Yeah I was trying to find evidence, but I don't remember Howard doing much at all.
