As cool as it would be to see Tatum lead team USA, I imagine there’s some thought that his heavy playoff minutes make it logical to sit him if lebron and Durant are healthy and playing well. Especially being their last Olympics hurrah and likely not Tatum’s last. As we know, he’s the only 1st team all nba on the team, so he doesn’t need to prove anything. Totally fine by me.

That awkward moment when you realize that even the Celtics GM is a better coach than the Team USA head coach.

Don’t mind it. Just means both Brown & now Tatum are going to be extremely motivated to win it again next year.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Tatum Get huge minutes next game.. As much as I despise steve kerr he cannot be that stupid to bring all that negative attention on his coaching.

If I was Tatum, I'd go to the Olympics closing ceremony wearing my bench uniform with a towel on my shoulder

They are all sour that Boston won. Steve Kerr is the buggest POS.

I don’t have the words in my vocabulary to express how much I hate Steve Kerr.

Meh. Steve Kerr is too obsessed with small ball that it would be a crime for him to play more than 4 guys who are 6'9 or taller. And even that is already too much.

I agree.

It's more about small ball than JT's shooting.

Kerr is also playing favorites, especially with Steph.

Steph was a defensive liability and Kerr kept playing Steph.

I mean it's not even the quarterfinals, so why play Steph in the 4th when the game was out of reach.

JT getting 8 minutes in the 4th would've been fine.

**** Steve Kerr - biased ****!

JT should **** on his head.

I expected as much.
I’ve always disliked him.

Has there ever been a current 1st Team All-NBA player that was DNP for an official Team USA game?

Coach K and Pop never did what Kerr did.

Has anyone posted the schedule for Team USA?

Kerr should have thought about the consequences by benching JT.

It's not like this will go unnoticed in the media and soc med.

And do we really believe if JT shot the ball well he would have leapfrogged Lebron and KD at the 4 spot?

Apparently JT is the 3rd PF on the depth chart.

Don't forget about Bam, so 4th PF.
