To get into a possible medal game, they literally need to win 1 knockout stage them but yeah no way they can medal lmao

You do realize they beat spain and Australia who are some of the best teams here in warm up games to the tournament right?

And also lost to Australia too. So warmups can’t tell you much.

They were in full control of that game also. Double digit lead in the 3rd but yea impossible for them to medal.

This team is no lock, for sure... but they can win with defense, grit and athleticism... if they play with full effort.

I still expect a gold. The roster isn't our best, but it's good enough.

Yup. Not a lock by any stretch to win but to say they're a lock to not finish top 3 is wild to me

A little adversity and they fold....so....yes, they will not medal.

Brand new group still learning to play together. Im sure they can't learn anything from the 3rd game they ever played together.

They literally just won an OT game, Trolly McTroll.

They literally just won an OT game, Trolly McTroll.

And most of these teams been with each others for years. Team USA been together less than a month

They learned they aren't very good and they have trouble holding on to leads even when the competition isn't tough.

Against Turkey.....LOL...nothing to brag about here, bud.

Just more reasons why they won't medal.

And the obvious point he made went right over your head

What? That they barely squeaked out a game they were suppose to win by 50? That's not overcoming adversity, that's just dumb luck they didn't completely humiliate themselves.

They were not supposed to win this game by 50 or anything close to 50. Stop with the ridiculous lies.

They weren't heavily favored?

 

[bksballer89]

USA advances to 2nd stage of group play.

Now in a group with Czech, Greece, and Brazil

 

[bksballer89]

USA vs Giannis on Saturday then USA vs Brazil on Monday before closing out the group stage vs Czech

Looks bleak for USA.

 

[bksballer89]

Looks bleak for USA.

Since you're so confident that they don't win 2 of these games, let's make a bet?

If they win at least 2 games then you don't post here for the rest of 2019?

Deal
