USA in a rape over everyone minus Spain...and even that might be a big win without Rubio. Their front court is scary though.

It will be interesting with Wade and Bosh out. Wade beasted in 08 and US was already thin up front. Love will replace him admirably but he will make Bosh look like KG defensively in retrospect.

The unibrow and chandler can handle the defense

Can't wait to watch these guys take the court. Almost everyone on that team can play multiple positions, I would love to see LeBron at point from time to time. What lineup would you start?

Kevin Love posted this picture to his Instagram feed late last night with the caption, “Weekend at Bernie’s. #GotEm.” So great.

 

When you butcher teams like Team USA did last night, you can have a little fun. Check out a larger version after the jump by clicking on the image.
