I think the talent gap has decreased. Remember, there are about 83 international ballers in the NBA now.
Also, this wasn't the best team the US could have sent. A lot of players refused for personal interest/security reasons, which I'm cool with. My biggest issue is the make up of the team. How can you have NO outside shooting on the squad? and the 3 point line is only what, 20 feet? That's on the team selection committee and the coach to the degree he had input on team selection.
If no NBA 3 point marksmen wanted to ball, go get the best college shooters. This is hard to watch.
