At least the good guys one, we are complaining about a 20 point blowout.
USA did look very poor against the zone, just like in Athens. The most frustrating thing is they are choosing to look bad against the zone by standing back and chucking threes, you are allowed to attack the basket when a team plays zone. The lanes may be smaller and quicker to collapse, but a team the caliber of the USA should be able to drive on anyone.
As long as they play their level of defense, no one can compete. They are at their best when their offense comes from their defense, just like the Celtics.
Had Ginobili been in there I do not think the game would have been any closer, they would have relied to much on him, and the bench effort never would have been there. Besides this is Manu Ginobili, who if he was born in the USA, would not be able to make the redeem team. Same thing for Nocioni to a greater degree, both are very good players, but not elite players.
