I watched the men's basketball gold medal game Saturday night. The US wins, Rudy Fernandez has a couple highlights, everyone wins.
The US won the gold, but their offense was very limited in the halfcourt. One of these days the international teams are going to get better at ballhandling and stop making as many bad passes, which the US thrived off of. When the other team wasn't turning the ball over it seemed like the US couldn't even run a pick and roll to generate points. Most of the posessions in the halfcourt seemed to be drive, look for a shot, kick out, drive, jump and look for a shot, kick out,...
That said, the US players deserve all the credit on this one. The players who decided to participate risked injury now and fatigue later, and the team wouldn't have won without their overwhelming individual talent.
