The Gold Medal That Matters Most

The one event I want my country to win most is Men's Basketball.

Silver is simply unacceptable.

The only way USA Basketball can lose is if they slack off on defense, hog the ball and take difficult shots. If they work together and find easy shots, they will be fine. We'll see if Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, et al can play smart enough to win what should be an easy event.

With all of the scorers on the team, they should be able to simply outscore their opponents. So far, that hasn't been the case. They need defense this time. The scorers need to step it up. It's like only one guy can manage 20 points throughout the course of a game. There should be two guys with 20 and another with 12 or 15.

And someone should've had a 40-point game by now. No one has gotten hot yet? Come on.
