I don't think defense is ever in question with that unit. The starters.....not so much.

Spain doesn't look convincing and they lack depth.

Lol, at the beginning of the 2nd quarter it's now 9 offensive boards from USA vs. 6 defensive of Spain. WTF

Starters were decent outside of a few breakdowns. Just liked the overall effort in general. Haven't seen that consistently from this team. Question is, can they do it for three more quarters?

Outside of the 4th against the Aussies Melo is playing the Jason Kidd token leader role on this squad.
