Team USA has had a rough go of it in the tune-up games for the Olympics. Contests that were supposed to be exhibitions for the USA’s wealth of talent have instead turned into harbingers of pending doom. The Americans have lost both of their games in Las Vegas thus far, and that’s led to questions about everything from the roster construction to the state of the NBA game.
To me, the problems have mostly been on the defensive end. For starters, there are number of miscommunications that have led to a series of back cuts behind the USA defense.
