2021 USA Basketball @ Tokyo Olympics

[Surreal]

Keep that same energy
If this was Bron losing in the Olympics, there would be 8 or 9 threads right now

The media are just going to blame the players and give the NBA and the current development system a pass because they don’t know shyt about basketball either .



This is the problem with basketball coverage here

Bingo.

Folks should've heeded Bean's warning about AAU basketball years ago. Nowadays it's bad for development.

Just wait til the African nations catch up

USA lucky Iran & Czech(hell they’ll probably give us a game) are in our group cause boy we wouldn’t even get out the group round if Australia was in our group

 

[Big Boss]

what time luka play??

 

[Optimus Prime]

these teams with legit NBA players on it like Rudy and Fournier really give confidence to the other guys on their team because they are not in awe of Team USA
Keep it close, make some 3s, hope your NBA stars lead you to victory

when will the excuses stop first exhibition now tired and jet lag even though jrue holiday was ballimg

 

[42 Monks]

every player who has torched team usa so far has been a guard, having only one guy (holiday) out there who actually plays defense in the backcourt

Once de colo or fournier got that switch there eyes lit up

watch satoransky go for 25 and ish

jrue was really locked in for a minute too. once they started abusing the switches and started hunting lavine and lillard it was a buffet out there....

didn't help that there bigs could just lean on bam and dray to make them disappear down the stretch too

 

[sportscribe]

Also. Lavine is not a good player. He completely fukks up their rhythm. Book was terrible this game. It’s just bad

Booker, Lavine, Lillard and Tatum were either playing iso ball or standing around waiting to catch and shoot.

No type of off-the-ball movement.

Who was it that chased that block on Gobert instead of getting into rebounding position, allowing the eventual Fournier 3, was that Bam? That play damn near decided the game, shyt was a terrible play trying to chase that block.

what time luka play??

1240am tom

KD the best player in the world but this loss is on Dame? The deflection

You see it.... and we know why that is. if durant wasn't used to slander other players he'd be getting all the smoke

 

[Rekkapryde]

You laugh but Steph would pay immediate dividends

 

[SchoolboyC]

Funny part is Dame was in his feelings cause Coach K kept leaving him off the team, I guess we see why now

 

[klutch2381]

I don’t even mind threes if you catch them in rhythm and you’re open. This team will turn down open threes in rhythm just to shoot a contested one later in the shot clock. I saw Lavine pass up several open looks and drive into traffic to kick out for a contested shot.

Dame needs to come off the bench or play the 2. Jrue has to start
