All it took was a little bit more focus and effort on the defensive end…

Australia needs Tybulle back out there. KD is about to put a bow on this game.

Dame is the biggest disappointment. He was supposed to be #2...but he is useless. Kyrie dominated in FIBA. Makes you think how good Dame would be if hand check came back in the NBA

Durant should just get to his little 12-15 footer every single time. No more 3s

Edit: maybe SOME 3s lol

Bam on the boards, Jrue attacking the paint and KD from mid range are our entire game plan atm.

I can’t believe Patty Mills is so annoying in international ball it’s outrageous. Guy turns into prime Iverson in the Olympics
