Typical end to the half, instead of expanding the lead, we become lackadaisical on both ends of the floor and keep the game open. This team will never learn.

Lowry pisses me off.
He gambles way too much on defense. Doesn't get back to his man whenever a switch happens and then on offense has no direction when he just lazily passes.
Get this idiot off the court.

Its funny what a difference it made when we just brought in the all defensive/hustle crew and physically overwhelmed them.
I think we've come too far for drastic changes, but there's an argument, especially since Klay Thompson apparently can't shoot outside of Oracle, that the defense of Lowry/Butler/George around Cousins and Durant was always the way to go rather than stacking up shot hungry sieves like Melo, Irving etc. in a single lineup.

True, although Cousins has to be one of the worst defending big men I have ever seen and Kyrie one of the worst defending guards.

I would only bring Melo in to give Durant breathers. PG and Jimmy defending the perimeter makes a huge difference.

And he will never play defense now that he has won a championship. Shake because he has the potential to be a MVP one day.

Lmao, forgot about this dude. Chris Paul barely touches him so he gives Melo a nut shot...

What a weird summer for Klay. Suck. One of best games in U.S. history. Suck again.

Thomspson looks so one dimensional when he isn't in a Warriors uniform.

Melo's goal should be to get into foul trouble as fast as possible

Argentina need to get Ginobili isolated more or open off cuts. He should be taking every other shot.

Missed at least 10 completely wide-open 3s in this game. Most by good shooters.

Always knew argentina would be the metchup for the usa in the quarters. Argentina is just not good defensively, specially in the interior.
