http://www.usabasketball.com/news.php?news...=2008MSNTRosterIf the
big men stay healthy, we should be unstoppable. J-Kidd (undefeated all time in international play) is the ultimate facilitator, and will get guys open shots in good spots, which should mean assloads of offense for us, since everyone on the team can score a ton. When Chris Paul and Deron Williams come in, it'll be a change of pace (and a level of talent) that the international players won't be able to keep pace with.
Plus, our swingmen are ridiculous. Dwight Howard is a beast...watch how many alley oops he catches from Chris Paul, J-Kidd, etc. The team appears focused on defense from the outset, which bodes well for our gold medal chances.
