There is something you could do about. Those are talented players on Spain, they are just getting rattled too easily and throwing passes without even looking. I love Rubio and the kid is amazing, but he spins uncontrollably way too often and it leads to turnovers. They need a more experienced PG like Calderon. USA will get TO's just because they are so much more talented, that I agree with, but a lot of the turnovers I've seen were simply bad plays because they got nervous. USA has made some bad TO's too just from being a little too cocky, but they can get away with that stuff.

That's actually a workable comparison in some ways. A QB making a throw without looking around and noticing the DB is like some of the passes Spain is making up the court without noticed a man right behind the Spain player waiting to jump in front. Obviously sometimes it's hard to notice everything that is going on in the moment when you also have a top 10 player in the world guarding you and pressuring you up the floor, but there has just been some bad passes. It's not an excuse for Spain though. Part of the game is being good/smart enough to locate all the players on the floor and make all the smart passes.
hno:The competition internationally is definitely much tougher than it was in '92, but I still don't think there is any doubt that the '92 team was much, more more talented. I don't know if there will ever be a better team assembled than that team USA, at least not for a while. Guys like Boozer, Redd, Prince (as much as I like him), Kidd and even Williams wouldn't even have made the tryouts for the '92 team.
