This just doesnt feel like USA team. They took FIBA like players I get that, but its like they assembled a team to match other FIBA teams. Thats not what USA does with that massive pool of talent, USA force a match ups and game speed, they do not adapt to whats normal for FIBA. This team barely has any athletes.

The US isn’t playing with its best players. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Exactly. If this was the real squad with Durant, Lebron, Curry, Klay, Harden, Davis etc this would not even be a question.

Nice being able to hear the officials on the instant replays....since the NBA has 100 per game, that would at least make it interesting.

Mitchell is frustrating to watch....

What are you doing, Mitchell?! :lol:

LOL Donovan Mitchell.. nice basket interference. If he fell into a barrel of nipples he would come out sucking his thumb...

Good reality check for bunch of overrated players like Tatum, Mitchell and Middleton mostly.

Let's be real, though. If the real USA team was playing, NOBODY would stand a chance. Not even close.

The overall iq of this USA team baffles me...

MrDollarBills · Post #753 » by **MrDollarBills** » Tue Sep 3, 2019 2:42 pm

This team shot 35% from the field as a whole. Not going to get it done. You can't have the only players on the team being efficient be Middleton and Harris and expect to beat anyone.

Damn, mismatch out there and the turkey player passed out. The coach was rightfully mad.

WTF Mitchell

Troubadour · Post #756 » by **Troubadour** » Tue Sep 3, 2019 2:43 pm

The Boston Celtics with Myles Turner and Donovan Mitchell can't beat Turkey.

What makes anyone think they can get home court in the NBA playoffs?

What do you mean this is the real USA team? Oh you mean the ones that can't be bothered representing their country.
