The rest of the world has gotten better at basketball over the decades, although not as good or deep as the US.
These US NBA players are in cruise control for exhibition games after a long, condensed season. For the opposition, these games against the US are important and they have much more motivation. Also, many of non US national teams have more set player pools and play better as teams. The US rotates players much more and takes time to gel as a team.
I expect much better play and effort from the US once the Olympic games start. Winning the gold is no guarantee, but I would be surprised if we don't medal.
