Team USA Olympic Basketball

Was surprised Kilian Hayes isn’t on Frances roster.

He’s played in several Uwhatever championships for them already. Speaks to their depth when they don’t have the 7th pick from last year playing.

France is one of the best teams. Based on what I saw vs team USA, the teams I would be concerned about is the following

1) Aussies
2) France
3) Spain

List is done

Is Argentina not good this time? They usually bring a strong team.

They're top 5 in rankings but I saw this USA team dominate them in Vegas so i'm not too concerned about them. The other 3 seem like legit threats to us.

Luka with 3 quick threes

That was fun. Slovenia/Argentina just played a 1st quarter without any commercials or timeouts

Luka is scorching right now. Someone grant him US Citizenship at halftime and get him a Team USA jersey

Only 1 team really should be a concern and that is Team USA.

They have a lot of work to do, but they should still be favorites to win the gold.

Just too much talent to struggle as much as they have offensively. We shall see if they can figure it out.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

Report: Talented underachieving bitches are already seeing failure coming and are attempting to leak excuses to the media to explain away the fact that they haven’t shown up.

A team of players that have never been a team before and your telling me what? ...that the coach is responsible for nothing?


The Basketball coach for an Olympic team is 3 times more important that an NBA coach.
Getting all of these personalities and ego's to meld to form some sort of chemistry is priority number one for any Olympics coach.

And it's clear as day that Pop has not done that. And maybe that is because the biggest ego on this team is his.

48 for luks

 

[bksballer89]

Luka Doncic talks about how winning a gold medal for his country would mean more to him than an NBA Title. Our guys kneel for their own National Anthem. You figure it out

He wasn't born here lol. The NBA is more important than Olympics to those born/ grew up in the states here. Olympics is more important to those born in other countries. Not complicated logic to figure out

freaking Bam gagged his free throws.

 

[DJ Fieri]

They choked against France as they were outscored, 16-2, down the stretch.

 

[seattlefan75]

Funny how Lillard said that these guys played a lot harder playing for their country than in the NBA lol

 

[fightinfunbags]

When is the next game?

Tuesday night/Wednesday morning

Yes, I watched the game.

Smart players find a way to work together and win. That's from someone who coached men's and women's basketball for almost 40 years. ME!

This USA team isn't showing anyone anything other than they may be easier to beat than they or anyone else believed. Over-confidence and lack of respect for your opponent make you the most vulnerable.

Ex-Celtic Fournier led France. There will be more NBA players playing for their home teams and the USA won't be facing high school and college plebes.

Cannot say I saw a lot but guys miss and make shots all the time and isn't always because they were coached well or were not.

In the 4th, the reason for the US lead was largely Holiday, and down the stretch he didn't get many looks in favor of KD bricks.

Blame the coach guy, of course, will still blame the coach for that while sometimes ya have to hold the player (Durant) accountable.
