When LeBron James and Steph Curry (among others) announced they’d be skipping the Olympics, we were all told not to worry. The USA is the USA. They still have more talent than anyone else in the Olympics and would cruise to easy wins in each game.

If the United States don’t make adjustments heading into the medal round, they won’t be taking home the gold, plain and simple.
