If Batum can give them some 3rd option scoring/creating, they are going to be so dangerous. Crazy length up front.

Ya, I totally expect a barrage or 2 from the US at some point, but that shouldn't be enough now.

Has anything good ever happened on a Joe Harris drive?

USA's depth/speed always allows for such intense ball pressure. Very tough for these teams with few playmakers.

Myles Turner hasn't made a single pass in the half court :lol:

Germany's got talent. France is just really good defensively.

Nonsense, Germany doesn't have anybody decent beside Shroeder right now. Be truthful please.

Just spent 10 minutes looking for the game, figuring it had to be on somewhere. Couldn’t even clear out some early morning space on one of ESPN’s 53 real channels. Kind of sums up where the World Cup is at, I suppose.

Zipser, Theis, Kelber... They've got some solid players.

Not a first tier team but their roster is above average in this tournament.

Schroder is the worst player on the floor. Zero IQ, no jumpshot.
FIBA rules are making him look even worse than NBA rules.

Does anyone have a box score for the USA vs. Czech Republic game?

The players in Dirk's germany team were better than the current ones, and they played better as a team too.
