This is really awkward, if Tatum is fully healthy.

So even in a blowout Kerr will still play Steph.

Very strange JT didn’t get in at all.

Anthony Davis can't/won't switch defensively...

He was pretty ass in the exhibition games tbf.

Hopefully this is a wake up call for him.

Are Ant and Jrue truly better shooters than JT?

Sad we are asking this though - speaks to JTs struggles shooting

I hate all of it lol.

JT forgot how to shoot. Everyone notices it but his die-hard fans. He needs to drop Drew Hanlen and find a new trainer.

At least they didn't play him many minutes. Coaching!

Baylor Scheierman got as many minutes as JT in the US opener. I would've played him over Booker or Ant but I'm not the US coach. I'm not even American.

Issue with JT on this team is he's off the ball more so he needs to be automatic on his C&S. Which he isn't. Kerr and co. is making him stand in the corner. Not the best way to use him.

I think it was more match up based with Serbias size and going with AD/Bam combo instead of AD/Tatum.

All tho I’m really not sure what Kerr’s obsession is with Devin Booker.

Can i be selfish for a minute? I hope JT doesn't play a single minute the entire olympic event and Germany throws out the US in the quarter finals because Franz destorys these slow old men (KD & LBJ) who couldn't guard him.

Kerr probably thinks he has a chance of getting booker to GS than JT. Lol

I don’t understand the world’s obsession with Booker.

Ant, no; Jrue, yes.

Tatum is more so competing with Lebron, KD and AD for playing time. He's more 3/4 than 2/3. So I understand limited time. 0 mins is kind of crazy

I tried to not be mad but I'm mad. I want Pop back. Kerr is suck.

Has his shooting really deteriorated that badly? Really strange. I wonder if someone can develop the yips shooting a basketball like what has happened in baseball before with throwing. Markelle Fultz is an obvious example, but I’m talking an established player. Is that a thing?
