I said before the start of the Games ,Patty Mills was like the 3 ball , you live or die with his game....and now mostly die . Goorijean spends the whole game waiting on Mills to get hot WHEN that's far and few between.
Mills needs to come off the bench and Exum starting with Giddy in the backcourt.

Great game Canada-Spain... Strange time out by Scariolo at the end of the game.

Powell is still a scrub, if Canada guys have a decent C they could beat the USA too.

Dirk Nowitzki: "This is the best generation we've ever had," Nowitzki said. "It's the most complete team in German basketball history."

What happened to Green? I had high hopes and he showed a ton of promise but he's more or less useless even on AUS team now? Did injuries completely killed his confidence or what?

Stop talking about Green. It's a massacre.

Well Gobert is a joke even in FIBA basketball, Shaq is totally right.

No idea, seems like he peaked in that UTA game w/o Lula and Kyrie in 23.

By "we", you mean "you".

And it was actually the opposite. We tried to tell you that Green was playing good. It's just your fixation that he's a scrub because of who Mavs missed in that specific draft. He was purely drafted as a 3&D guy who played his role really well mid season. Even top Mavs analysts agreed he's playing good on both ends. Green was actually one of the best 3pt shooters at that point and was deadly from the corner 3's.

But problems started showing when he got injured again for the 2nd time and never fully recovered his earlier game. He had some great playoff games like first two games vs OKC when he scored 11pts each on 6/13 from 3 and that was it. Mavs fans started to wonder more and more what is happening to him and that translated even to his international game.

I dont know if changing teams will fix that but it's weird that he constantly only had 1 job to do yet routinely started to fail at it. He was showing a lot of promise, got paid as a reward, but i guess then went out of his comfort zone by trying to do too much.

Ha perhaps, but...

I think lets not lose sight of the got paid for it part. Thats just the makeup of some guys, they get their guarantee and then dont put in as much effort. WHy that part of the CBA is flawed
