I get the feeling Turkey bet on themselves to lose. Fouling a guy shooting 3 and now 4 missed free throws that never looked close. :noway:

I thought it looked just like a routine rolled ankle. Not a ton of extra pressure on it or landing on it after a jump. Hopefully should be just a sprain.

Yeah French national team player Noah would have loved to play for the USNT

I guess Turkey doesn't want to win with all those missed FT's. Hope Tatum is ok.

Yeah, a Celtic is only the one to set up the open layup. You're pretty lame this morning.

This does not feel like a win for team USA.

Turkish players left their balls back in their hotel. They didnt deserve to win this game with such pathetic display of FT shooting anyway.

That was about as undeserved a victory as you can get, but a win is a win

Edit: I would say the loss of Tatum is huge, but he hasn’t been much of a factor so far

All jokes aside, everyone outside of Harris (

) and Middleton were horribly inefficient. This box score looks like a disaster.

Dwight Howard?
Noah?
Mike Conley

Just throwing names out and it's possible they declined but this is poor roster construction for FIBA

Dwight is a scrub, Conley is 2 tiers below Kemba and Noah is French and is a scrub.

That's poor analysis

USA is getting chewed up inside and will continue to get chewed up by strong bigs. Barnes picked up 4 fouls trying to guard bigs in the paint. Dwight would be useful. Half the bigs in FIBA are "scrubs" by NBA standards.

Conley is a good playmaker and defender and shooter. He's perfect for FIBA. He's also clutch and isn't scared of taking shots. He would be infinitely better than Mitchell.

True about Noah

We win. Take this tape and throw it in the trash, I hope Tatum isn't hurt to badly.

Hope Tatum is alright, and it’s just a twisted ankle.

Was ugly as hell on offense, Tatum included. But his defense was damn good, anyone saying otherwise is being silly.

Hope his ankle is fine, and they learn how to play as team on offense...not exactly holding my breath.
