Team USA Basketball Slams China In Olympic Opener...But Defensive Weaknesses Exposed
Team USA looked great on offense versus China, except from the 3-point line. They looked terrible on defense in the first half in terms of 3-point defense on the Chinese, who kept the game close in the first half with a barrage of threes. This weakness with defending the three is going to be a problem with better teams. And more than one player looked like they should not have been on the team in the first place, Jason Kidd and Carmelo Anthony. Kidd looks slow and Carmelo just looks lost. It's definitely not on lock that Team USA will win the gold, but with Wade, Bosh, James, and Redd looking really, really good....our boys will be tough to beat.
