Absolutely terrible last offensive possession of quarter . . . again.

Second half was decent. At least we played a little defense.

Moral of the story: Don't fall behind by 20 in the 1st quarter if you expect to win a basketball game.

Can someone explain to me the format.

Like we're still in a group stage?

Kerr going small again, is Ant at SF or Reaves?

Haha, yep. When shots like this are going down there isn't really much you can do.

Always blows my mind when a team is down and multiple players decide it's time to iso into step back 3s.

Most of the time the team that controls the glass controls the game....when your powerfowards are essentially smallforwards you are probably not going to win the battle on the glass vs legitimate big men

Out rebounded yet again and Lithuania is smart enough to punish the switches in the post, so Kerr goes smaller, brilliant.

Team USA is just weird. Their lineups make no sense at all. Half the team has trash body language and doesn't do enough intangibly when they aren't involved on ball.

Ant Man is so good though

Damn I slept in and missed some great basketball.

Saw through bleary eyes the 1st Q Germany score and wrongly assumed Slovenia had it. Wow what a drubbing!

Germany stronger overall team.

Wear a Reaves jersey or put Reaves as the last name on yours lol

I'll try combing my bangs down over my eyes as a start.

imagine everybody playing with their best players. it would be amazing. yes, team usa would be favourite but no way they have it easy or have a guaranteed gold. other teams are so much better now and they have the huge advantage of knowing how to play fiba ball

Poor Italy topping their group LOL

Kerr obsession with small ball has him looking crazy out here.....he has no excuse, you got size on the roster
