2019FIBA World Cup

Playing for these lame ass positions is dunb. Outside of a 3rd place game, having games for 5th, 7th, & etc is silly

 

[bksballer89]

Did you see what Turner said?

Donovan, Kemba..yeah.

That worthless shitbird?

Fuq outta here.

Playing like shit and getting his handed to him by Gobert is stepping up?

 

[bksballer89]

I get his message and agree with it but would have been better if it came from someone else.

He's not much good with the English language though. Brutal.

[bksballer89]

People aren't checking their grammer on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, & etc

He was fucking USELESS.

Im honestly most disappointed in dame to be honest

Dudes like Landry Shamet have a lot of nerve...imo.

Dame has the weight of an entire franchise on his shoulders.

Shamet is a fucking rookie who might not even be a starter next year.

True but my issue with Dame is you never been on team USA. This was a golden opportunity to not only be on team USA but almost guarantee you a spot for the Olympics next year if you showed out and led us to goal.

There is absolutely no guarantee he makes it next year with the guard group possibly looking like Steph, Klay, Harden, Kyrie, Russ, Kemba, Beal, and etc

Probably only 4 of those guy goes to the olympics.

Same with KAT. Another dude who missed out

How many bigs are we really carrying? Have to think AD is a lock once he is interested.

 

[bksballer89]

What is your dream olympics roster for next year?

For me it is the following:

Steph
PG-13
Kawhi
Bron
AD
Booker
Dame
Draymond
Klay
Donovan Mitchell
Drummond

I'm missing a spot lol

Great point.

Kyrie is probably the only guy who might be too gimp to play.

Stepped up to play in the tournament I'm guessing, when so many waved off the opportunity.

I'd probably take Kyrie over Mitchell. They do similar things scoring wise, with Kyrie being a better outside shooter which is very important to international ball.

Last spot I'd take a hard look at Blake Griffin. The team is loaded up with Guards and Wings, and Blake can not only run the floor with these guys, but his passing and outside shooting ability would be great. His ability to play above the rim would also be a big benefit.

But the rest of the roster I'd agree with. I'm giving Booker a shot over a guy like Harden or Russ this time around.

But the versatility of this roster is insane.

Big: AD, Draymond, Bron, Kawhi, PG.
Shooters: Steph, Dame, Klay, PG, AD
Versatile/Defense: Bron, PG, Kawhi, Klay, Draymond

 

[bksballer89]

@Mecca no surprise here.


Colangelo won't forget U.S. World Cup pullouts

KD if healthy

If not, Kyrie? Tatum? Blake? Russ?

 

[bksballer89]

KD

Doubt he would play if he don't play in the regular season. Don't think he would want to take that risk which I would get
