The ony thing Delly has against him is athletism. His ability to read the D is awesome. Fiba level wherr it isnt as quick or athletic as the NBA hes looking like a god. Hes primed to deliver with the bucks. Hes improved his 3 ball so much over 2 years

Delly became a really good passer and pick n roll playmaker last year. Very efficient guy that hardly turns it over. He's a very hard worker and hopefully continues to get better for the Bucks next year and lead us to silver in rio

Australia is going to give team USA a fight. Big, strong, team chemistry and rules which favor big men and physical D.

Americans being called for fouls they are not used to be called for in NBA. The NBA unfortunately has almost stopped calling travel and give way too much leeway for their star players.
Once you're not allowed to travel and take 3 steps, plus push off, then you begin to look more mortal.

Ya that's what I've been saying too. All it takes is a nice little motion and a couple plays. Can they not do that? The foul calls were insane in the first quarter, though.

Foul calls imo were by the book, NBA players are just used to never being called for basic fouls.

No, you can't be serious! I'll have to take a look at the replays.

Irving travelled, another guy got called for it just now. There was one at Green entering the box before shooting at FT, that's also a rule never called in NBA, DMC swung elbows around, can't do that either.

Just tuned in and Klay nearly turned it over twice and puts up an airball. Doesn't seem to be having a good Olympics.

I'm very glad coach K's era is coming to an end.He's so overrated,i dont care about his record,give me prime Lebron,CP3,Wade etc and i wouldnt lose a match.Popovic would never stand this travesty of basketball USA is playing right now.

I think US should focus more on playing fundamentally sound players in the Olympics and younger players. Think Gordon Hayward, Chandler Parsons, Kawhi Leonard, Al Horford.
FIBA is all about ball movement.

If an Australia or Spain can control the tempo like Venezuela, this USA team looks vulnerable.
Nowitnessing a legend

I think both teams have a shot, Australia matches up well, Pau is legitimately better than both American centers.
