Ja Morant is our only hope

Nope, Tatum and Haliburton are the weakest links. Correct move by Kerr and Spo to remove them from the lineup. Tatum particularly didn’t show us anything in the friendly games. Inefficient chucking just like the finals
It’s actually an awful move, if not for this Olympics, for the future of this team. Tatum was the second option on the last Olympics team (played great as well), and now he isn’t playing minutes? It’s disrespectful. Why would he even show up next time? He should be playing at least some minutes.

I’m talking about just over the last few weeks included. Not just this one game. Yeah KD would easily be 2nd anyway ahead of Jokic as well.
Give Jokic the team KD Lebron has. And he would be the best player in the court. He can only do so much again this super team

All Euro games are like that also. I said for years how bad NBA fans have it now, NBA games are not watchable live, I can only do it if i can fast forward, nba has by far the best talent but by far the worst product from all basketball that I watch. Thats my opinion.
It's still the best product, just very heavily diluted.

Lol what is this BS. They were widely considered to have the best starting lineup, at worst second to the Celtics. Get out of here with this.
Pay these dudes no mind. Whole preseason and season, these dudes were guaranteeing that nuggets to repeat.

Let's see, Team USA would have Banchero, Barnes, Mobley, Edwards, Maxey, JJJ, Brunson, Haliburton, probably Cunningham, Morant (but I don't think his game fits well for FIBA Basketball)... + some good roleplayers. That's nit bad at all. All of them will be better in 4 years from now.

If any of LeBron, Curry, etc played poorly in the exhibition games, you really think they would be benched? No, probably not. I get playing him less minutes than last time, but completely benched? Nah.
