The final turned out as most people had expected it to. But damn, the USA's 3-point accuracy in the beginning of the final was amazing.

I think the Serbia coach was in a quandry on whether to play man to man or zone. Every time Serbia played zone, they got scorched by those 3-pointers. Then, when Serbia played man to man, the US players just spread them out and sliced right through the Serbia defense.

US should just send high school/college players to make it interesting.

Not gonna lie, this year was pretty lame.

And Im not talking about the USA team, cuz I didnt pay attention to them (I only saw that one game for the USA team), Im talking about all the other teams and the overall tournament.

Hopefully the Olympics are better for Basketball in 2016.

Can only imagine what the score would have been had we actually had most of the best NBA players on the team.

probably worst becuz those big stars dont like to play along together, have trouble adjusting to FIBA, and they try to show off rather than teamwork.

@SaintLeonidas: Maybe a loss. USA team that lost to us in 2002 had more stars in the team so it all depends. No one expected Serbia to get that far since they are young team, playing USA is a lot to learn from for these players. I mean USA cruised trough the cup.

Now we are both on 5 medals haha. Will make it good for furious play next time they meet :D
