Slovenia looks like they’re going to be in the gold medal game. I know it’s one game, but Luka on a mission. The US winning the gold looks like having to go through Luka :picard: :sadcam:.

*deep gulp*
Overreaction. This is a crappy Argentinian team. A smart team would make it impossible for him to get as comfortable as he is right now

Luka's hot start also has the rest of the team playing with confidence...seen them hit some tough 3s you can figure wouldn't drop

Either way win or lose shyt is about to change for Team USA. The player's reps are at stake. There's not going to be any more willy-nilly hop aboard Team USA for a quick and easy gold medal and a vacation to a foreign country. Now the stars are going to want to know who's joining them, who's the role players, who's the guy that's going to cover them on defense, do we have a pass first point guard, what's the offense being ran and who's the coach, etc. These dudes already sensitive as hell during the regular season so this added pressure and scrutiny for the gold is going to get tossed in the bushes quick fast. After Tokyo the superstars will vet and put the whole entire process under a microscope.. they have to because after one loss everybody is questioning their entire playing career all the way from High School and AAU to if they actually work on their game as a pro. It might even have to come back to playing all college players.

I rewatched that US France game tonight :patrice:

That save that French player made to get Fournier that go ahead 3 was the difference :manny:

Dame had way too many stupid turnovers and a them 30 footers are nice when they go in but when they lead to a bucket on the other end :patrice:

We might win gold but a team like Slovenia with a locked in Luka and spot up shooters is pushing this US squad if that's the gold medal game ....we have too many all stars to be looking this vulnerable:snoop:
