FIBA WORLD CUP 2019 | SPAIN are new WORLD CHAMPIONS

If only they fielded a proper team. Coulda, shoulda.

[mtron929]

Yeah, really embarrassing.

Kemba pulling a kyrie against bucks.

Kyrie destroyed Serbia in last final, and won MVP. Kemba is doing the opposite here, big choke.

Now?

[Simmons25]

Probably the worst ever put together US team of all time. Even worse than when they used to put college guys in. At least those teams had balance.... this team was trash.

[walk with me]

Pop blew this one imo...

F*cked up keeping Kemba in and not putting smart back in earlier. The kid from the spurs was getting baked all 4th quarter.

[KG Leonard]

Why is Pop playing small ball against Gobert? Makes absolutely no sense!

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

Yeah Kemba playing iso hero ball in 4th ruined the game for USA. Mitchell was destroying France in third, Brown, Smart was playing well. He came in when they led with 7 points and he never passed again...

Boomers in the running for gold

Confirms Team USA needs a significant talent advantage to overcome the chemistry disadvantage.

The whole torunament was interesting to see from that perspective, I thought the US is gonna cruise a month ago

[WestGOAT]

Lol ESPN, putting the German flag instead of Spain. Come on.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Or.... FIBA screwed us over by NOT having it LAST year hahaha. Oh well. I hope some GOOD NBA players decide to go to the Olympics next year.. it'll be a better time at least. should attract some more stars

[KqWIN]

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.

Im talking about Browns and Smarts D on Gobert not Donovans scoring

It wouldn't have been a comeback without Mitchell's scoring outburst...and FRA adjusted well to the defense. As long as they didn't try to post Gobert up, he dominated.

[Promezclan]

Mediocre bigs, no playmaker, what could go wrong? Even someone like Trae Young would have been a help.

[nedleeds]

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

It's not Gobert. Gobert is dumb. 9' wingspan jumping at Kemba Walkers 3, he's just lucky Kemba choked. Gobert can't punish a 6' 7" guy guarding him. He's very mediocre. If he had like Kurt Thomas' jumper he'd be all world.

[Dubious Handles]

Momentum started to switch when Kemba was in the lineup and forcing things, instead of letting red hot Mitchell do his thing.

Also no idea why Joe Harris stayed in for that long

[Message Boar]

My god, they actually pulled it off. I didn't think the French would have it in 'em.

[yeahM8]

aussie wagon going to fill up quick.

whos on?

lez go strayaaaaa

[Hephaestus]

Boston Celtics lmao

[Chrisaaron1023]

Mediocre bigs, no playmaker, what could go wrong? Even someone like Trae Young would have been a help.

But he dropped out too?

[seorang]

Time for another Redeem team
