I didn't know that Larry Bird was playing for serbia.

Harris is terrible. How on earth is he on this roster?!

He is an elite shooter.

A bit sad Bogdan refused to join the Suns and had to be traded to the Kings.

He’s been elite at fouling the 3pt shooters and getting burnt on D all tournament long.

Should just bench him.

And doesn't matter how bad he plays, he plays a similar amount of minutes that brown and middleton. Popovich loves him for some weird reason.

Who would even be players on USA roster? Lets try to pick

C : Kyle Hines / Bryan Dunston
PF : Derrick Williams / Chris SIngleton / James Gist
SF : Will Clyburn / ??
SG : ?? /?? /??
PG : Shane Larkin / Mike James

Add Donovan Mitchel, Deaaron Fox and Paul George to this team and its a great team.

Kyle Hines would have better tournament then Turner, Lopez and Plumlee combined.

On SG put Jaycee Carroll.

Also don't forget Brandon Davies, Cory Higgins and Brad Wanamaker maybe even Nigel Williams Goss.

C : Kyle Hines / Bryan Dunston
PF : Derrick Williams / Chris SIngleton / Brandon Davies
SF : Will Clyburn / Cory Higgins
SG : Jaycee Carroll /Brad Wanamaker
PG : Shane Larkin / Mike James

That's a team just from a Euroleague, and it's a strong one.

You really believe Hines/Dunston can play against best C in the world? B. Davies is playing C in Europe. Jaycee Carroll will be 37 next year. James and Larkin cannot play together in the same team.

I’m not saying that will be bad team, but it for sure won’t be better than this years or a favorite for a gold.

This team is beyond terrible. It's embarrassing.

I think the turnover machine Kemba has been a bigger issue.

Remember when the Suns had Bogdanovic and traded him for Marquese **** Chriss?

Nah... I think no team is above the others and any of the 4 remaining (Argentina, Australia, France or Spain) can win it all or finish without a medal... it will depend on details and inspiration at key moments...

Cheers!

No, Australia is not a favorite according to bookmakers. And for me, France is probably the biggest favorite. Though I will support Argentina till the end.

I will probably put some money on France, that team is great.

I put €500 on Australia at 1:32 odds before the start of the tournament. Two more wins and I make €16000.

Odds were too good not to try.

Americans have no heart whatsover, none

gh123 · Post #2914 » by **gh123** » Thu Sep 12, 2019 11:19 am

23-5 znd refs have to help USA before it becomes a 40 point difference. Clear offensive foul on Lopez but foul given to Jokic lol.

It’s having subpar players like Harris on this roster which is extremely detrimental to the actual good players.

Sucks having to carry deadweight like him around and others like Plumlee and Lopez.

Team USA is missing all their 3s, Serbia is hitting all theirs. That's literally the game right now.

Imagine turning down the opportunity to play in this showdown and instead working on your shooting with some 5’9 trainer.
