One of the most embarrassing showings ever, especially for a star

It was glaring that if his jump shot isn't falling, he can't really do anything useful. Can't score easy in the paint like Kyrie/Steph, can't facilitate like Harden, can't defend like Jrue. Thing is, even if you're that 1 dimensional there's still the expectation that you would shine in that 1 dimension that had people thinking you're a top 10 NBA player.

It certainly didn’t start off well for Popovich.

It is probable that USA won through sheer athletic ability rather than a combination of ability and the right tactics.

It is uncomfortable to be in a position to criticize Popovich because he’s an all time great coach but the result doesn’t always justify the means.

Of course we know what the hot takes will be here though.
