USA vs Czech Republic

After a slow start, Donovan ended up as the leading US scorer. I also thought he played pretty good, active defense.

France barely survives after leading by >20.
 
Pretty boring game. I watched the end of the France/Germany game and found it boring too.

The NBA is just so much more entertaining than any form of televised basketball.

If Team USA has a weakness, it's rebounding. Their wings and forwards don't clean up boards as well as other teams. They experimented in a scrimmage with playing Turner at the 4 and Lopez at the 5. Maybe they'll try a big line up like that at some point. Today, they played Barnes at the 5 and went small for a while. They played Barnes, Tatum and Middleton together with Kemba and Mitchell.

I can see the rebounding weakness. I wonder when they are going to breakout the full court press. White and Smart would excel.

If USA can speed up the game, maybe with some pressing and trapping, I don't think other teams would be able to keep USA from getting to the rim. USA is probably the best at playing up-tempo, given the talent they have to get downhill.
