Humorously enough, all of the team USA nay-sayers seem to be hiding in little holes at this point. After going 3-0 in its first three games, winning by a demoralizing 52.3 points per game, the Americans will square off against the Brazilians tonight.

Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski said the Americans still need to be concerned about their game tonight. Brazil boasts not only the physically intimidating Nene, but also the NBA's "Brazilian Blur," Leandro Barbosa, who Krzyzewski called, "as complete a player as there is in this tournament.... especially the way they use him."

In all reality, the talent gap between team USA and their first three opponents has been huge, and the only real threat for them tonight is over confidence. However, if I were a betting man, I would bet everything I own on a team USA blowout victory.

First of all, team USA is experienced. Carmelo and LeBron are both enjoying their third time as team USA participants, with Carmelo showing that he just flourishes in this playing environment. Kobe Bryant has played in the NBA for 11 years. Jason Kidd is entering his 14th season. The young gun is Dwight Howard, who can definitely hold his own.

Secondly, this team is still young. When you consider that the teams oldest player, Jason Kidd, is 5 years older than the next oldest player, the 29 year old Bryant, you don't have to worry about the wear and tear as much. Stoudemire is 24, Deron Williams and Carmelo are 23, LeBron is 22. Plus, no one on this team has played 25 minutes in a game yet, so they should have plenty left in the tank.

The critics have been rightfully silenced, and team USA seems to be properly motivated. Don't look for them to stumble tonight. When asked about team Brazil, despite being the overwhelming favorite to win, coach Krzyzewski said, "They're a top-flight team and we respect them."
