Just get the feeling that US will go on a 10-0 run and it'll be hard for Australia to match. Beating this team takes one hell of a 40 minute effort.

LOL olympics don't want USA to lose. What a farce.

Our depth is a real problem

Bit of a gap between Lisch/Barstow/Anderson and thompson green butler

Our starting guards in Delly/Mills are as good as any european team

This is a joke the amount of bull fouls on us. Let them play.

These offensive foul calls three calls are getting annoying.

Clearly trading bogut for durant is a mistake. Warriots gonna rehret it

Jordan is defending like Harden this game. Shouldve left Cousins in.

Watching this you really realise how good of a player Bogut is... he's absolutely torching USA's bigs.

I think Coach K gets an unfair amount of flak but man his lineups have been terrible. This team is obviously at its best when they run but he plays Kyrie Derozen and Melo together. You can't run when you don't get stops.

I almost think swapping out one of the stars for a guy like Bradley isn't a horrible idea. Not a star but he doesn't need the ball and plays great defense.

Durant looks very average hopefully he fits poorly in golden state

They have better versions in Jimmy and Paul George. They don't mind not getting the ball in this kind of game. Coach K just isn't putting hood lineups out there

lol Lowry, do the Olympics remind him of the playoffs?

Post #37 » by **zimpy27** » Wed Aug 10, 2016 10:40 pm

USA need a better coach than this, they have no plan at all.

mademan · Post #38 » by **mademan** » Wed Aug 10, 2016 10:40 pm

More Klay. Less Derozen/Butler

K_chile22 · Post #39 » by **K_chile22** » Wed Aug 10, 2016 10:40 pm

Stop playing DeRozen please. No reason to play him over Klay, Jimmy, PG

Wake me up when the U.S. starts to try. Australia is playing their best game, some of these U.S. players need to realize that they need to come to play and that they can't sleep walk over everyone.
