Australia is looking really sharp on defense especially on dribble drives.

Team USA with the sloppiest, slowest, most obvious passes

Team USA doesn`t take much more bad shots than Australia and despite noch hitting any threes (2/12 right now) they are only down by 7. They`ll still win it.

Feels like they're playing with an extra man. Arms everywhere.

At least he's doing something good but also there is nobody to pass him the ball.

Put Tatum straight on the damn bus

Watching Tatum try to dribble is painful man.

It's amazing that in FIBA play Patty Mills and Dante Exam make Middleton and Tatum look like scrubs.

Been watching Team USA pretty religiously since 2006 and it's still hard to get used to how different it can be.

And I have no idea why. Why do all of these US players look lost. Do t they have a college 3pt line? Maybe that's it. The spacing is limited.

Also, maybe that's a way to make the NBA better. Adopt FIBA rules and kill the whole 'pace+space' thing. This feels like 90s ball

Very bad half from USA. Only down 3.

Steven1562 · Post #2698 » by **Steven1562** » Thu Aug 5, 2021 5:01 am

Fact that USA is only down 3 after playing like that.........

Heat3 · Post #2699 » by **Heat3** » Thu Aug 5, 2021 5:01 am

finally they started going in for closer baskets after chucking from three all half. nba needs to do something about this style of play. it just sucks. balance it out again between 2s and 3s.

F you Tatum
