I know no entire NBA team will ever agree to be the Olympic team, or this National team, but really someone needs to get past throwing 12 scoring stars together.
In the Olympics we lost because no one would guard the 3 point line. Some team broke the Olympic record for 3s against the USA- at a time when the Pistons and Spurs were the two best NBA teams and either team would have shut down any of these national teams.
Whoever coaches next time need to bring some defensive role players.

I agree with the SportsGuy on this one. It's like we're playing a different sport. If we had FIBA rules as NBA rules, our players would know the nuances of the game and how best to spread the floor and defend against the advantages the different set of rules brings. And if we played by NBA rules internationally, we would destroy absolutely every team out there by 30.
Someone explain to me why FIBA has a different set of rules anyway.
