That's because they have an all-star forward to keep the team together.

Brazil has a really strong team (minus Hoffa).

Still shouldn't be a game though. Talent-wise, our current team is more loaded than anything since Barcelona.

And they've been playing together for about 2 months.
Give them time, this team is gonna grow together and get much stronger.

Are these Team USA games on TV? I'd like to check it out.

I know they play on NBA TV, which I doubt you have. I don't know about regular TV, although I doubt it.

Here is the final roster of the USA team:
Carmelo Anthony, Shane Battier, Chris Bosh, Elton Brand, Kirk Hinrich, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Antawn Jamison, Joe Johnson, Brad Miller, Chris Paul, and Dwayne Wade.
It doesn't look like there is a true center. I guess Miller and Howard can play center.

Miller is a true center in every sense of the word. Howard, Bosh and Brand can all play center depending on the situation.
