If that poster is watching the games then he doesn't understand basketball for shyt. Draymond is the best passer on the team and pretty much the only player actively setting other guys up, and he's playing good defense too. No one who has a fukking clue would say that Draymond is the problem right now.
ESPECIALLLY on the tighter international court too

if it weren't for Dray, we'd be getting sliced up way more than we already are. plus bam still can't figure out exactly how physical he's supposed to be either.

Yes that's a problem in selection, I said that from the beginning. But you claimed "literally anyone would be better". Since Draymond is the best passer and interior defender on the team, it would OBVIOUSLY not be better to replace him with some random player. If you watched the game today Draymond was not "the problem" or "a problem". He was doing what he could.
Which is limited. How many 3s did he hit?

Didn't box out and let France hit a three to go up 76-74. Then on the next possession proceeded to catch two offensive rebounds for two wide open 3s they missed :manny:

It's obviously much deeper problem than blaming KD or Popovich, like Pop is the one urging players to flop and ISO ball :mjlol:

:snoop: man stfu!

I'm beyond tired with his WOAT takes on every subject. Not that I think there should be some ban on white posters here but that one in particular needs to STFU on just about every subject and just sit and learn for a few years before he starts commenting again.

dray is not on the team to hit 3s :dead:
He couldn't hit one if u needed him to and he is not the type of defender for the olympics. He's a good post defender. He aint stoppin nobody on the perimeter. Ayton would be more useful than him.

Gobert was in the middle breh, his presence was a clear problem for them. And some of the shots they missed were straight bunnies.

This breakdown is wild.

USA from 3pt: 10-32

USA from midrange outside key: 1-11

USA inside key but not at rim: 9-14 (nearly all of those were Adebayo and KD)

USA at rim (within circle): 5-12


USA was 8-10 inside the key in the 1st quarter when they were getting a bunch of fastbreak points. The rest of the game they went just 6-16 in the key.


France went 1-7 from 3pt and committed 6 turnovers in the first quarter, leading to a bunch of USA fastbreaks. Once they cut down on that, there WERE no easy buckets for anyone on the team under 7'. They weren't making the bunnies and they were getting good looks from 3pt and midrange but weren't making those either.

But KD told me that Rudy Gobert shouldn't be winning DPOY because he can score on him easy.

The Lytics say Gobert is one of the greatest defenders to ever play.

Which one is it?

dray is basically the only reason this team can switch at all :dead: dude is covering for everyone on our perimeter and still our only consistent inside defensive presence. he's earned his check

we got guys who are accepted as the best scorers on the planet who can't hit open shots and are terrified to do any sort of work that isn't a shytty iso shot between the 3pt line and the painted area

if you trolling then my bad for fukking up your rhythm tho :hubie:
