Pop is losing it. Those thre guards don't offer spacing nor defence.

I'm not familiar with FIBA, if a team loses a game, are they out? Or just unlikely to win gold?

i've never seen a USA team that cant RUN.No fastbreaks at all.No pushing the rhythm.

It is strange how NBA role players from Europe and other parts of the world play so much better for their national teams.

I feel sad for Pop, not his fault so many better players decided not to go.

neither.. 2 out of 4 teams from group advance to the next stage, then new group of 4 teams is created (2 best from 2 groups)... 2 best teams from that group advance to quarterfinals, and it's elimination games until the end... so you can win max 8 games on the tournament and win it, or u can lose 1 game in each gropu and still get to the quarters

Popovich with pinpon balls giving him Ron Mercer instead Tim Duncan would be coaching in the puertorican league.

USA struggling a ton to score against Turkey's zone. Not a lot of movement or screening going on.
