The staff and players are just too comfortable and casual about losing. There might be some questionable player selections but Pop didn’t instill a culture with the group. Coach K ran a military operation with Team USA, he made sure them boys knew what it meant to put on that jersey.

He can’t be the coach of the program going forward man…

He's right:yeshrug:

The French team has been together longer and has chemistry. They're a good team. USA doesn't have that cohesiveness as a group and it shows. Dudes out there playing iso ball instead of team basketball.

This team needs a clear leader. KD being in foul trouble was inexcusable.

We were taught a lie.

The US is still the best basketball nation on earth and will always be, as long as we are the current version of this country, but that’s down to population and money. But the system we have is terrible and doesn’t want to face the truth that our fake amateurism is bad for youth development.

We need to professionalize youth development and get the best talents with the best coaches.

And we need to have the NBA change.
Lol y’all blaming CBB for this? Most the dudes on the team played 1 season of CBB, compared to the dream team where guys had 3-4 years under the best coaches in the nation, CBB rules are closer to FIBA rules than NBA rules

Has Kawhi Leonard played in an Olympics in his career?

This is how the modern nba is played. Everyone including players devalued the regular season which helps build up your game for the postseason.

Teams will lose by 30 one night and just :ehh::ehh:

Naturally dudes are gonna play this anywhere else.

Even if they do win (which I doubt) things will definitely change in terms of building rosters and summer practices for these Olympic teams
