And four years later vengeance was wrought. The US Men's basketball team advanced to the gold medal game with a 101-81 win over rival Argentina. The game had an odd back and forth pace but much like in the quarterfinal win over Australia, a big play before halftime set the stage for the US win. T......

For Team USA it's one down, two to go. The spunky Australian team stayed with the US for more than a quarter but fouls and a 38-14 third period kept the Boomers from hanging around. The final score of 116-85 belies how competitive the game was early on. Australia trailed by just one after the fir......

The Destruction Wrought was total and utterly complete. Entering the final game of pool play, Team USA had little to play for. They could not improve their seed and in past competitions might have let up a bit, playing a sloppier game. Germany had only pride to play for. Two days after losing the......

In their first real Olympic test, the US earned stellar marks. The Greek national team hung with the World's best basketball team for more than a quarter and then the flood gates opened. Simply put, the US made their own breaks and then took advantage of them. Unlike in past games, dribblers were......

At least the USA-Angola game delivered what it promised. The Americans mopped the floor with the African champions, earning their second win in pool play by a 97-76 score. The Angolans kept it from getting embarrassing for part of the first quarter but then it, well, got embarrassing. Some will a......

For a quarter and a half it seemed like the world's largest nation would have a chance to upset the world's best basketball team. Then the American players made sure it didn't happen. A steady diet of pressuring ball handlers and sheer speed and dunking ability propelled Team USA to a 101-70 win ......

As the Olympics are set to kick of in few days, it's time to look at the field and separate the contenders from those who are just happy to be there. As per usual, the US team is the prohibitive favorite but there are more than a few teams who could take from them their [...]...

Facing a middle of the pack Australian team without heir best player, the US Men's National Basketball team should have unleashed a torrent of skill, talent and spectacular dunks to earn one of their patented 20+ point blowouts. The operative word, however, in that whole line of thinking is "shou......

Calling the friendly between the US and Russia a scare for the Americans is a stretch but it was by far the most competitive game the US has played this summer. The 90-68 game was the closest Team USA has played thus far. The US again fell into old bad habits of not attaching the zone [...]...

It's a pretty common story. Team USA meets opponent, team USA player opponent, team USA wins by more than 30 and goes home. That was essentially the script for Friday's game between the US and old nemesis Lithuania. The Americans jumped out to a big lead early and were only slightly threatened wh......

So it's been nearly a week since the Warriors signed Andris Biedrins, and it's given me some time to think about the team and where it's headed.  I've read message boards and other columns since the Warriors final piece was put in place, and I've been surprised with how many naysayers are out the......
