Tatum got his team going early, at both ends of the court, he then saved it and later won it, those putting down his game due to his FG% are anti-Tatum.
Should instead be pointing out that Team Stupidity is there.
The coaching, the only explanation is they are trying to lose.
Chucker Mitchell, offensive goal interference. Marcus not Smart, goaltending after the foul call. "Tough Guy" Joe Harris.
K Walker had 7 assists, 0 turnovers so that is a good sign. Smart, Brown, should be traded if Team USA can trade players. Tatum was very good, and reports say the ankle is not bad.
The big lesson, shoot free throws better. Team Gobbler Gobbler missing 4 free throws. Somewhere, maybe OKC, Abdel Nader is cheering.
The referees, crazy people. The NBA might be corrupt, NCAA may be corrupt and incompetent, FIBA referees seem to just be clueless.
It wasn't a foul on Joe Harris, and the real call should have been no call which would have resulted in Turkey passing the ball more and running out the clock.
When they wanted their "unsportsmanlike" foul on M Turner when he tried to block a shot at the basket, on the Osman drive, crazy talk.
Nowhere in the rule book does it say if Chucker Mitchell is not running back to play defense that the referees have to stop the game.
In one of the Team [refuse to play for] Canada games, in the background there was a green jersey with numeral 41. Ugly Bogut and Ingles are running Walton to Bird plays. Scola setting records, the former Pacer and other teams who scored big against Boston, is now the second-highest total points guy in this tournament, which means South America have the top 2 for that. Yi looks like someone who could help an NBA team, but a bit late now. Top players, by stats, so far are Joe Ingles, Salah Mejri, Hamed Haddadi, Ersan Ilyasova and Bogdan Bogdanovic.
You have Serbia shooting 75%, with Boban and Jokic missing 0 shots, looks like they will win it all as a team with Harrison Barnes at center can't win.
