Not that I'm complaining...

Been saying this game after game. Same pattern. Getting exploited. There's a guy who can help.

I guess Germany can draw him out on switches and go to work on P&Rs but still, it's not something he hasn't seen before. O boards and second chance points have been killing US with no adjustments.

Man, lotta you guys seem really smug. This is basketball played amongst experienced grown men, German team is playing it well and they're earning everything they're getting. The defense isn't being lazy or stupid, they're getting beaten by good moves and good shots. They're obviously more physically talented but the German team players each know what they're good at and are just working their way into those spots and executing well once they get there. No one's entitled to win, games like this go to the team that makes the most tough shots and avoids the most little errors.

Germany looks like they're playing against a team that's not on their level.

USA can't get a rebound.

Brunson just chucks shot after shot getting blocked now 2 times in a row.

Easy to read they don't have a second play.

Germany is really solid. Gordon Herbert really coach this team well.

USA in the bonus all the way, exploit that as well.

This is the worst defensive team USA I've ever watched.

I didn’t think we could play much worse than the 06 semis against Greece but this is levels beyond that. They’ve been dissecting us for 35 minutes now.

Europe>NBA

Best players in the NBA are euros, euro teams dominating in FIBA, beating USA, Canada teams with majority of NBA players

Looked like a clean block by Thies there. The US catches a bit of a break.

Such a clear block. **** refs ruined the block of the tournament

Post #499 » by **G R E Y** » Fri Sep 8, 2023 2:23 pm

Germany has a huge interior advantage. Don't understand settling for 3s right now.
