The Flaws of the USA Basketball Team

Lacking Size

The US team is made up of guards and not a lot of forwards. There is only one true center which is Dwight Howard. There are a lot of guards. This team may be dominated down low if Yao Ming has a good game or another team.

Fouls

USA fouls way too much in the games. When looking for a steal or a block, they always end up with a foul with few occasional successes. Fouls could be a major issue in this year's Olympics.

Opponents Scoring

Even though, USA beats their opponents by many points but that doesn't mean they score a lot of points. USA has tremendous defence so they should be able to keep their opponents to a real minimum amount of points. Yet USA blows out almost every team they play.

5 Strenghts of Team USA Basketball

Scoring

Almost everyone the USA team can pull up for a jumpshot without hesitation. This team is full of guards and versitile forwards. If almost everyone scores in a game then the outcome of the game will be in the advantage of USA.

Quickness

These players are very quick. They can push the ball down the court for a fastbreak dunk with easy. With Shaq out the picture and Dwight Howard in, there are practically fresh legs in the game at all times.

Age

This team is very young. They are capable of playing consecutive games and playing for many minutes. The oldest player is Jason Kidd, but he doesn't get many minutes. So this team has a chance of winning the gold for the next 2 Olympics.

Selfishless

There is no key player on this team. Even though the USA basketball team is filled with all stars, they always pass the ball to another player without even thinking. Every game is filled with alley oops and radical passes. It energizes the crowd and gets the game going.

Chemistry

There is so much chemistry on this team. The USA team is more like a family than anything. There is nothing more important than getting along with your teammates on an all stars team. Some of these players do not always play with each other back home so it is very important.
