Dwyane Wade's first name will always be spelled wrong, but at least his knee seems healed, as he led Team USA with 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the Americans' warm-up destruction of Lithuania last week.  It's easy to make most of your shots when you're getting alley-oop windmill dunks from Chris Paul, of course.

Color me cautiously optimistic about this iteration of the men's team.  I think they'll take gold, even though I would have liked to have seen a deeper frontcourt and more pure shooters on the team.  But I don't always get everything I want.  I would have liked to have seen Adriana Lima naked and soaked in baby oil while riding a unicorn, too, but the Olympic committee just never comes through.
