Tokyo Olympic Basketball Tournament Discussion

Lol why doesn't Gobert do this in the NBA?

Where was this guy when Mann, Kennard, and Beverly switched out to him?

I was wondering this as well.

Should have brought the Lopez brothers!

In all seriousness, yes.

[nzahir]

How many fts do we (the US) have?

France getting some bs tick tack flop fouls rn

[walk with me]

Fiba refs calling this soft… I haaaaaate tatums isolation shots. They’re so garbage. I don’t even care that they’re midrange shots but you dribble like 92 times to shoot a contested midrange 2. swing it around and try to get someone an open shot

[VanWest82]

KD is the best player in the world. It's not going to be fair if Nets are healthy next year.

[makubesu]

I think France’s best chance here is to get all the US players to foul out

[Mk0]

France with the top tier flopping. Jesus Christ.

[Feed Your Head]

Does Tatum have any playmaking ability??

I mean, he drew 2 fouls on pass attempts.

Lillard, Holiday, KD, Tatum all have 0 assists, KD and Tatum are the only guys who are able to consistently get and make their shots.

KD in a league of his own, obviously.

I don’t just mean today’s game….I hardly see him really ever setting up any plays or playmaking except making the basic assist/pass. I think he’s only got 7 assists total out of 5 games.

If we’re talking about the NBA, he was in the 90th percentile for assist rate amongst forwards this past season.

[Ducklett]

Very floppy game all of the sudden.

[coopboii]

This flopping is Oscar worthy

[normgod6]

This off-ball flopping by France has really gotten out of hand.

[Clocian]

Lillard is a scorer but not a shooter. he is clearly trying to set up his teammates but its also not his game.

He looks too slow and unathletic to be playing in this game.

[Jeremy Lin 7]

France deserves a gold in acting

NBA treats him like he's a French guy. The NBA is about shooting a whole lot of three-point shots and guys like Mitchell getting all the shots.

[walk with me]

USA should be up 23’ish. Some of tatums ISO’s have been trash. More ball movement unless it’s KD

I do not see it that way at all. France is bigger and stronger. Rudy Gobert is living in the paint.

We were up 12’ish and Tatum missed 3/4 iso shots and went back to the other end and still got stops. Maybe not 23 but the lead would be big

[Cactus Jack]

Tatum is annoying. Pop needs to sit him.

[Ballerhogger]

I thought international play didn’t allow flopping . We have no big man excepts bam and getting killed down low

[Mamba81p]

refs keeping France in the game. kd was fouled 3 times... no call. and it happens all the time
