2019FIBA World Cup

[Mecca]

The Aussies destroyed them once, they'll do it again. It's the end for USA basketball.

Are you American?

 

[Bart]

Fuq he do to you?

He boasts about USA basketball and then doesn't have the confidence in his team to back up his boastfulness.

 

[Bart]

You think this team has enough star power to do that against good teams?

I don't.

Remember: USA is used to having the best 2 or 3 players in the tournament on their roster.

That's not even close to being the case this year.

Kemba is their best player. He's at least a tier, maybe 2, lower than Giannis.

That's why they should just give up, they are an embarrassment to the US.

 

[Mecca]

oh, hey, Mecca...

didja hear about the latest fellow Morningside Monarch getting honored wit' a statue in front of Staples Center...?

Leuzinger Olympians, Sucka

ROFL...of course, a realistic American. How about you? Are you from Korea?

We aren't the French and the World Cup isn't WW2 Germany.

Nope, not a big fan of Kimchi.

Lovely place to shop though...

I'm a realistic American.

I don't see us winning gold nor silver.

Doesn't mean they shouldn't try.

He is silly.

USA had a double digit 2nd half lead and the final score was 98-94.....but they got "destroyed"

Despite the C list squad, USA has the most talented roster in the field and they have as much chance to win as anyone.

It isn’t a given as it would be most years. They can lose to anybody in the medal round and be done.

But @Bart acting like they have no chance at gold is just as the hot takes on MJ and the warriors.

 

[bksballer89]

Say what you want about team USA but if this group was playing together almost every summer for several years, they would win gold rather easily

I wouldn't even call this a C list squad. This is more like a D list squad at best but yeah I completely agree with everything else you said.

Outside of Serbia, I haven't seen a team that would exactly scare me. Spain has looked pretty shaky and we handled them easily just prior to this tournament starting.

But if they get to play Serbia, I think they would win just because the shit the Serbia coach was talking. They would enter that game with a big chip on their shoulders

Love kimchee. There's a Hawaiian BBQ near where my grandsons live that is owned by a Hawaiian man and his Korean wife. She makes it for the restaurant. Every time I babysit...I get kimchee.

Are you American?

He's a Russkie... no doubt.

 

[Gman]

Anywho, this team isn't our best (as everyone has conceded)... but this team does have the capacity to clamp down on defense in elite fashion.

That's their path to a gold... effort, grit and defense.

None of you all want to bet on whether they win gold or not but I'm pegged as the one with no faith...lol

Fuck if statements.

Now they are the D list squad. You'll do anything to give them an excuse for not winning the gold.

Born and bred American, not like the rest of you immigrants on this board.

LOL...They'll fold the moment a team goes on a hot streak.
