Premature at best. USA mainly needs to cut down on the turnovers.


And learn how to make a layup

Don’t be mistaken. Goulding is an elite scorer at every level. He’s not in the NBA because he’s horrible on defense and can’t create

Wow, Middleton misses a driving layup and an open driving dunk. USA 9 after. USA better get their ISH together. This is different than the Spain game, even though the U.S. trailed by 11 at one point in the 2nd quarter. In the Spain game, the U.S. was still better for most of the 2nd half. Australia has been the better team from the opening tip of the game.

I've read so much about how great the FIBA refs are compared to the NBA. Was that a joke? These refs are horrible.

Just awful ball movement and the Aussies are so fast to recover. Guys are getting the telegraphed pass a second slow and the Boomers are all over them

We just bricked a bunch of wide-open shots against Spain. Australia's about 10 times better on defense.

The ball movement by the US isn't as good this game

Too much overdribbling
