I believe this to be more than accurate.

The opposition should let me shoot.
I cant shoot 80% from the field.
Which is the level of the US scoring % in
the open floor.

However we might have some problems getting in an open floor situation
with my feet pounding the hardwood.

So the real point is anyone on this team could lead in scoring and still win a game.
Even Kidd, if he ever decided to shoot. Using these games to show Carmello's
basketball prowess is silly. With the possible exception that you want him matched
up with a weak offensive player if possible. Carmello would not be on Ginobili if Ginobili
was a forward.

If Ricky Rubio is really 17 he is unreal.

The US played really poorly and won by 20 today though Ginobelli got hurt and Nocioni wasnt 100%. Spain will keep it closer than the other day but the US should beat them by 20 on Sunday especially if Calderon cant play or is hurting. If the NBA refs let them play as physically as the FIBA refs, Luis Scola would be a NBA star. That guy is strong.
