We are going to have to play our best to beat Spain, and even then it's going to be tough
I think we will end up fine if AD stays out of foul trouble. Could see the home court advantage screwing us in that department.

A lot of which was due to creating a ton of turnovers. I just don't see them doing that to Rubio, Calderon, Pau, and Marc. Too good of passers.

yeah, Spain is loaded with quality euroball players

Spain completely outmatches us down low with Pau, Marc, and Ibaka. Going to be a tough game for sure.

probably going to need a good contribution from Gay and Cousins.

Meh... Boogie is a better individual player than Pau at this point, Davis is better than Ibaka. Just need Faried and everybody else to bang with Marc.

I think individually we are probably better, but Pau and Marc play together like brothers.

Bench just erupted when Plumlee scored. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

AD has to be the leader for MVP at this point.

NBA Pau, sure. International Pau is a whole other monster

Yeah Pau is eating people alive right now in this tournament, but Davis owns him in the NBA.

Gonna be interesting to see how the US defends them. I'd assume we'd prefer to have AD guarding Pau whenever he is on the floor and hope that Faried and Boogie can handle Marc and Ibaka.
Posted on 9/9/14 at 4:01 pm to RTR America
The key is getting one or two of them in foul trouble and not having AD or Faried get in foul trouble. Do that and we win the game handily.

I would not be surprised after all this talk about it being a good matchup to see someone like Steph Curry get hot and go like 8/12 from 3 and the US win handily ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)
