Fiba refs calling this soft… I haaaaaate tatums isolation shots. They’re so garbage. I don’t even care that they’re midrange shots but you dribble like 92 times to shoot a contested midrange 2. swing it around and try to get someone an open shot

KD is the best player in the world. It's not going to be fair if Nets are healthy next year.

I think France’s best chance here is to get all the US players to foul out

I mean, he drew 2 fouls on pass attempts.

Lillard, Holiday, KD, Tatum all have 0 assists, KD and Tatum are the only guys who are able to consistently get and make their shots.

KD in a league of his own, obviously.


I don’t just mean today’s game….I hardly see him really ever setting up any plays or playmaking except making the basic assist/pass. I think he’s only got 7 assists total out of 5 games.


If we’re talking about the NBA, he was in the 90th percentile for assist rate amongst forwards this past season.

This off-ball flopping by France has really gotten out of hand.

He looks too slow and unathletic to be playing in this game.

I was wondering this as well.
NBA treats him like he's a French guy. The NBA is about shooting a whole lot of three-point shots and guys like Mitchell getting all the shots.

I do not see it that way at all. France is bigger and stronger. Rudy Gobert is living in the paint.


We were up 12’ish and Tatum missed 3/4 iso shots and went back to the other end and still got stops. Maybe not 23 but the lead would be big

I thought international play didn’t allow flopping . We have no big man excepts bam and getting killed down low
