Uhhhhhhh what? Every player on the US team has college experience. The closest to none was Kyrie who got injured early in his only year.

Youre basing everything off of his shot. Thats obviously your only criteria. With that logic Melo is amazing. But look at Melo's defense and chemistry killing play.


Cut it out, Melo's defense and chemistry are not an issue. I see what your problem is.


Lol what? Its called logic, look into it

USA has some issues. The point play is more score first than offensive execution. Cousin's doesn't have a ton of value on this team because how bad defensively he is. All he gives is maybe a offensive rebound now and then.

Serbia is a few bad possessions from actually leading in this game.

Cousins and Jordan are nightmares defensively.

KD and Melo on court together. The 2 biggest iso volume shooters in the NBA. Why would there be hero ball / chemistry issues?

I don't like Cousins at all. Great basketball player but just seems like an ass of a person.

I wouldn't say we've played great on offense, but 53 pct/27 assists on 27 FGs/12 TOs isn't bad. Our biggest problems, by faaaar, have been on D. Hold Serbia to 45 pct instead of 55 pct and we're probably up 20.

You have guys sitting on the bench laughing after such a performance. That tells you everything you need to know about their mindset. They're not serious enough about getting gold. It's gonna be one of those years where we have to be upset again in order to take such competitions more seriously again.

This is the worst teamwork team since 2004. Hero ball instead of ball movement.
