don't let them read the "will Manu ever score 20pts in a game again?" thread...
Spain is not nearly as cohesive and fluent as a team as San Antonio. Although they have been playing for many years together, it's only summer compe ion, and some players have struggled fitting in. For starters, Rubio probably played his best tournament with the NT back in 2008, and has often struggled. And the Gasols pairing does not maximize their abilities.Also, you can name as many great players as you want, but building a world-class ofense and defense takes a lot of time, work and adjustments. Of course, the more times they played, the less chances for the Spurs to win.

Have to bump this.
lmao
Just put Ibaka on the national team and the Spurs are finished.
What, everyone ran away from this thread.
I still think we beat them
Remembering that team USA has only like weeks of practice
if they have a pre-season, practice etc like we do, of course we get decimated by them
and deservingly
Lol nice thought though
they could meet (2012 team), and playing two days after beating any team in the world or nba easily
By the end of the NBA Finals, at that moment, some people believe that the Spurs were quite possibly the greatest team in NBA history. Meanwhile, Team USA is absolutely debilitated by injuries and too many players pulling out.
Objectively speaking, at this moment, the 2014 Spurs could very well beat 2014 Team USA.
This team USA wouldnt have a chance. Dream Team would be a tossup
No they won't beat Team USA
which team does Kawhi play in?
/thread
This team USA would get nuked from orbit
to be fair the Heat and Thunder would probably also beat Team USA
Totally agree.
This team USA would be crushed by last season Spurs tbh, all those infiltrations/kick outs/extra passes would be very effective against USA poor perimeter defense
The Spurs have a lot of players with FIBA experience. That makes a big difference, and to me would put the Spurs over this team easily. Duncan really handled Unibrow when they went head to head this year. Spurs play as a team and this Team USA is still trying to figure things out. Also they have too many chuckers who want to go one on one.
If Turkey can lead team USA deep into third quarter, Spurs can blow this team out easily.
If the national team played a full season together they would crush everyone on sheer talent alone.
But the lack of chemistry will cost them games against elite teams, see 2004 Argentina where Ginobili defeated Duncan to win gold. I dare say the Spurs is better than that specific Argentina team and the current USA team is not as good as the 2004 squad.
Depends how long they were allowed to work as a team.
Spurs easily otherwise. Especially in a series.
True. This very good Spain's generation plays together as a team for more than 10 years and will need a very good day to beat the 2014 USA team.
Give time to any USA team build with NBA players and they will be pretty much unbeatable.
Eh this team usa sucks. But a Lebron Durant and healthy team would crush Spurs.
That would be hard to do considering Ibaka isn't American, tbh.
What, you ran away from this thread.
Why aren't you laughing so much now?
