USA Basketball Team

[cloverleaf]

Shouldn't even be in this type of hole at any point in the tournament with all this talent. But here we are. Where's Jrue and JT?

Jrue and LeBron dishing some easy shots, at least.

Our defense is so bad for having the best and most athletic players in the world. If we had a great defensive team with just all star level offense instead of the great offensive team with just ok team defense like we have we'd dominate. It's not like our 2-way guys can't score, but many do some of our offensive stars stink at defense.

If JT had any backbone, he'd never suit up for Team USA ever again

[meatball sub]

oof team usa looking shook. they're losing their composure

[ConstableGeneva]

1Q was already hella bad. 2Q is somehow worse.

JT a mere spectator in the mess.

Hey Joe... how quickly can you get to Paris?

[LenBiasRIP]

I'll never understand why Booker is playing over Tatum. Tatum is a far superior rebounder, defender, and passer. JT can easily play positions 2 thru 5 so that's not an excuse.

[ConstableGeneva]

Pop did more with way less.

[shackles10]

Steph and Book are just terrible defensively, and Ant gambles WAAAAYYYY too much.

[shackles10]

We're down 14 and Lebron doing the "too small". This team is quickly getting very dislikeable.

[ConstableGeneva]

Lebron doing the too little celly like he's Pat Bev. Act like you've been there lol. You're down 12.

Steph and Book are just terrible defensively, and Ant gambles WAAAAYYYY too much.

I'm willing to argue that LeBald and Embid are just as bad.

Lebron does too. But at least he's got a bit of excuse. He's like 50.

My bet would be 0 again. Dunno what he did to deserve this. He would at least play defense and move the ball even if his shot is off.

Agreed on Embiid at least internationally anyways. Lebron is terrible until he tries. Unfortunately he's not been trying this much so agree so far. Trying to takeover on offense too because apparently the narrative that this is his team and he's unstoppable as Captain LeMerica is more importan than good basketball and giving your team the best chance to win. Really makes me appreciate our guys and their sacrifices with one common goal of victory.

Stop saying "Steph Curry leading the way..." during the halftime broadcast like there isn't another side to the basketball court. He's leading Serbia right to the rim and right into open 3's as well. So technically I guess he's leading the way all around.

Continuity is the advantage other programs have. USA already has a bit of it with this trio. Could've gone with White-Jrue-JT-Lebron-AD for Team Celtics-Lakers reps.

[Kalela]

Kerr is an absolute moron. He keeps putting lineups that have no chemistry out there.

Gary Washburn:

Just had a moment with Guerschon Yabusele, who recognized me and said smiling, "You gotta tell (the #Celtics) to bring me back." Yabu was a former BOS first-round pick. Plays now for Real Madrid.

Is the 15th roster spot still open?
