for all the shyt Zach has taken about his defense, I want to acknowledge just how good his man defense has looked on team USA



I watched every defensive possession closely and he is crowding ball handlers, applying pressure, staying in front of ball handlers & contesting shots - its why you can tell Pop prefers him over Lillard on the floor and trusted him checking Rubio for long stretches

Pop just needed time to get these nikkaz to gel and buy in to playing defense.

Common sense

first time I saw Scola I thought "who is this Razor Ramon locking guy?"

then I saw Walter Herman and thought "Fabio can hoop? "

It really ain’t. Slovenia has Doncic but at least his teammates like Dragic put in work. Spain had one guy do pretty much all the scoring. They were up in the first half cuz they had other contributors. They didn’t get much out of the Gasols at all. The closest thing to a 2nd guy was Ricky’s backup.

Its silly and its just flat out stupid, if we're giving everyone time machines then I guess we can somehow bring the 2008/2012 USA teams back. They're washed because its 2021, it ain't the USA's fault that Spain hasn't developed a better pipeline of talent to replace guys that have been on their main roster for 3-4 Olympic cycles.

Doesn’t “stack up” to that Bron, Melo, CP3 team Are you fukking SERIOUS


Any of them nikkas would tell you that the 92 Dream Team is the greatest Olympic basketball team of all time. You put that prime group up against ANYBODY and they whipping ass.

another 90s nutlicker who cant read. i said STACK THEM UP against each other not the dream team cant stack up. this dude really tried to list off magic as if he wasnt washed by 92

cant have a basketball discussion anymore without dudes being in their feelings.

I see everyone else praising Zach for his performance, but on thecoli he gets shyt on. I wonder why?

I know what you were "referring to". I was just correcting you on who the actual best team USA has ever assembled was.

The Dream Team is absolutely the best USA team ever. Listing the players on the 2012 team isn't going to change that.

2008 and 2012 have better players.

dream team slaughtering a bunch of farmers and plumbers 30 yrs ago doesnt change that

because every highlight has shown him getting cooked (he's Scottie Pippen on D compared to Lillard though)


Zach has yet to take a bad shot this whole tournament, even when he misses.

Bronsexuals are hilarious

dont quote me unless youre gonna talk hoops I don't do that lame ass stan wars shyt

 

[Lakerman0834]

We need a Luka vs Team USA finals....

If Luka leads his team to gold it might get spooky

Semifinals should be interesting. Australia is enjoying basketball, they are more dangerous than France. US better not half ass 1st half that shyt was inexcusable.

HOFer but it’s time for him to go home and be a family man.

He can still play for Barcelona. He looked decent in some crucial games in Europe.
