Message: [QUOTE="Wbbfan1, post: 2279171, member: 74"] USA was the more talented team top to bottom and that's why the score was close. However, USA couldn't do anything against Musina and Vandeeza. They scored 59 points, most on easy baskets. Really disappointed in USA's low post play. Still USA had their chance if they had only made LAYUPS. Don't know if USA could have made any in game adjustments to stop Russia's easy baskets. Russia played the better team ball and they definitely deserved the Gold Medal. Congrats to Russia and for USA bringing home the Silver. USA BB needs to revamp their youth program so they are selecting the best team to compete and win Gold Medals. Lost last two World Championships and in both they had the best individual talent and were beaten by teams that played better Team Basketball. [/QUOTE]
