It was funny to root against/sportshate him on the Grizzlies this past season, but this Dillon Brooks FIBA redemption arc has been good.

Would you believe there's an entire cult worshipping him on the Knicks board? It's hard to believe but it's real. I suppose that's the madness of woman and man.

But WHY?

Running a big man lineup of Anthony Edwards (as the center!) and Mikal Bridges is insane.

Jalen Brunson / Tyrese Haliburton / Austin Reaves / Mikal Bridges / Anthony Edwards

Dear Lord.

Imagine having this comeback and still losing in OT SMH...

4th place with that lineup is already a great achievement :lol: (I'm thinking about Lithuania which are probably better)

Atrocious coaching by Kerr and co imo. The team looks so disjointed and his lineups leave a lof (of size) to be desired.

RJ Barrett with the dagger. Down 9 with 43.8 to go. It would take an absolute miracle for the US to come back now.

Steve Kerr's citizenship should probably be suspended, after this tournament.
