Message: [QUOTE="RPM101370, post: 2866605, member: 410"] The rest of the world is most certainly not catching up. The USA demolished this tournament with a team cobbled together in less than a month with almost no practice time nor time to gel. They left multiple former WNBA MVP’s at home (Parker, Fowles, Moore) along with numerous WNBA All-Stars. The team they brought included multiple players probably exhausted from recent playoffs, including Delle Donne who played on a bum knee. They also had a first-year head coach and staff that have barely worked together plus multiple players that have never played for Team USA at this level before. These other National teams included mostly well-rested players that play together far more often and either skipped the WNBA season or don’t play in the WNBA at all. And even still the USA was dominant. Give the USA their best and adequate time to practice and this wouldn’t even be a discussion. As it should be. :) [/QUOTE]
