That Paul George leg break had a big impact. No one sane is risking life changing money for International glory.

They are just afraid to choke if other tier 1 star is not playing. These 10th seed players obviously can not do it.

Small ball helped them to make that 17 point swing until Kemba was inserted.

Well it's not working now!

So it turns out a best lineup of Kemba-Mitchell-Smart-Harris-Barnes, with Barnes matched against Gobert, is bad.

Questionable coaching by Pop. He went small when they had Gobert out and they got dominated on the boards.

Kemba pulling a kyrie against bucks.

FIBA = Defense/teamplay... NBA = 1on1. I knew that this team won't even get into semis. No playmaking outside Kemba and no KD/Harden/Lebron to bail them out.

LOL they maxed Middleton

france is a great team, but what stood out was how bad walker was defensive compared to when pop went with mitchell at point. I get it, you cant bench kemba but damn.

Wow kemba is horrible. Congratulations France

They are done! If D Mitchell wasn’t playing so well in the first 3 Qtrs, they would have lost by 20.

Because thats how they got back in to the game

They got back into the game by Mitchell going nuclear. Kemba played great defense on Donovan in the 4th to take away that option. USA just doesn't have a matchup against Gobert.

How in the **** is that a jump ball? Gobert has both hands on the ball in his belly?
