or...it could be the fact that every american team is just put together and thrown out on the court/field with very little time to gel. most of these foreign teams that beat us train for years together just for that event. they know each other and are more comfortable playing together. i think the USA basketball team was together for about 3 weeks before playing in the Olympics against teams that have together for 2, 3, or even 4 years.

that's why it's called a "TEAM" sport.
It was a "pick-up" game for us while these guys spend years trying to compete.
