A little while, but enough to not have been able to see any Team USA games.

Already...does this game even need a thread. This will make the Canada result look like a highly contested match.

Germany just trashed Angola, with a combination of Dirk and Kaman. We have allstar bigs ourselves in Howard, Bosh, Boozer. And one of the best teams in the world at forcing turnovers. Hes right. This game will make Canada look like it was a tightly contested ball game.

45+ Win, wouldn't be suprised if we won by 50. They're just that bad. Though nothing comes close to Iran on the court lol. Couldn't even score 50 in a GAME!

Angola has the blackest team in the Olympic. I think they will win it all!

Oh great, another premature Team USA thread. Just what the forum needed.

Cool!

My prediction: Gomes tears up our team offensively, but we obliterate them inside.

Angola looked terrible against Germany. I don't like their chances to keep it within 20.
