Booker is being way too passive rn, look to score instead of just pass.

This US team has just been able to shoot the 3 well in basically every game.

Too in love with the 3 ball. Not strong enough to get to spots.

Are the FT and 3pt lines different distances in international play than NBA?
I just can't with all these misses...

This is the most unlikable US mens team I've ever watched.

I'm going to say something and y'all can kiss my european arse if you do not agree.
The amount of taunting, celebrating, stare downs, picking fights done by USA has been right down pathetic and shameful.
This is a team made of all top-30 NBA players with a huge physical advantage over everyone else. They should be beating everyone without breaking a sweat. Instead, they are acting like they're some kind of underdogs in a fair fight where everyone has disrespected them.
Edwards and Embiid should be fined by the comitee without hesitation. Everyone else has also been picking figjts with random european players well below their level.
Honestly the inability to win respectfully tells pretty much everything about it.
Basketball in europe is considered a beautiful art, and there's and extreme amount of respect that is enforced and expected to both your rival and the referees. On top of that, on an olympic setting, none of this attitudes can be accepted.
Fine, they'll win this final and blah blah blah. But everyone I've talked to is completely ashamed of this display. It's been so bad that as a non-french european I have been rooting for France all home. Everyone who knows how Europe works should understand how ashamed I am of everything to reach this point.

Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Why is Booker so unwilling to shoot? At this point I feel better when Jrue shoots than Booker.
Sure seems like Tatum would help more than Booker in some of these possessions.

Jaylen Brown would've been more useful on this team over Tatum
