Anyone else rooting against USA basketball in Tokyo?
Between Pop snubbing Trae and Pierce being a coach I want nothing but misery for team USA this summer.
Anyone else here as petty and spiteful as me?
GO NIGERIA!

Re: Anyone else rooting against USA basketball in Tokyo?
C'mon who's with me?
You guys are missing the pleasure of watching Lloyd Pierce continue his losing streak. DBag Pop is melting down already in press conferences. ONly a matter of time till Draymond starts playing dirty.
Big game today. Can the USA and it's team of all stars and future HOF players somehow overcome 4 foot tall Facundo Campazzo and 85 year old Luis Scola and beat Argentina tonight? Tune in later this afternoon and find out!
SPOILER: The answer is no!

Pains me to say it but I am.
I dislike how everything is ran about the team. I like all of the players taking part, except for Kevin Love, but I cannot stand how Gregg Popovich has handled his position.

Haha, please tell me you showed her this post.
I won't totally root against them but it won't dismay me when they lose. Oops, did I say "when"?
Oops?
And love Trae's tweet. The spiteful way Colangelo has handled that team is coming back to bite him. Love that part.

Kevin Love needs to be replaced on team USA now. What a joke and embarrassment.

With the three players that took part in the NBA finals flying over to join the team maybe it will change things. For now, this team has zero leadership from the coaching staff or higher ups. It's been disappointing.

Would it be Lo or Danilo?
Germany and Italy staged a thrilling conclusion to their men's basketball Olympic opener on Sunday, with Maodo Lo and Danilo Gallinari putting forth outstanding performances in Italy's 92-82 comeback win in Saitama.
Atlanta Hawks forward Gallinari scored 18 points and Italy was plus-19 with him on the court, the Italian forward one of five players in double digits for the victors.

My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point.
