Lineups are terrible no structure with the offense. It's looking bad for us.

This is getting serious now. US needs to make a run before the half or this one is going to be very difficult. LOL

Amazing what Jokic gets away with, just like in the NBA

Probably the plan. If he plays the rest he will be at like 35min which he can do

Shorten the rotation. Best players need to play 30+ minutes

How Ant is getting minutes over him is crazy! JT can actually be a playmaker which they seriously need right now!


I'll never understand why they think so high of Ant. He's flashy but still can't consistantly carry like you would expect from real stars.
