Official 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup Thread (August 25 - September 10)

[Damnshow]

Never seen Team USA allow opponents score over 100. This is really embarrassing lol.

 

[Mister Terrific]

If there is one euro cac team I don’t mind beating the USA it’s Lithuania. They live eat and sleep basketball as a nation.

 

[Nero Christ]

Brunson kicked his leg out

 

[In The Zone '98]

30pt qtr and 4 threes for Lithuania.

Not gonna win like that. On to the next.

 

[Flight]

They've all gone. We feel like as a country we can shuttle players in and out whereas the Euro guys gotta commit every other summer of their lives to make sure their countries advance.

I said we might need to go the Canada route and make guys commit for multiple years. They want the branding of playing in the Olympics but don’t wanna do the World Cup and other shyt.

and for anyone who thinks Evan Mobley might be an option, he might join the Bahamas and tool up.

Is BI injured or something? Dude is glued to the bench

Gotta start doing what Coach K did and require players to commit for multiple tournaments if they want to play

If you want to play in Paris for 2024 then you need to show up for Manila in 2023

But stars run Team USA like they run the NBA so that won’t happen

 

[CarltonJunior]

Didn't watch, just came in ready to blame somebody but it looks hard to point to any particular player for this.

Getting outbounded by almost 20 boards seems to be the culprit

 

[dontreadthis]

how tf is this game still going on they should have lost 15 minutes ago lmao

Canada lost two of their top players too
Players don't wanna play every Summer

 

[Mister Terrific]

Lithuania out rebounded USA 42-26. My God. Send the fukking Iowa Hawkeyes to this shyt next time. They’ll box out and rebound.

 

[im not you]

these spanish players do nothing but bytch at every call

 

[papa pimp]

and for anyone who thinks Evan Mobley might be an option, he might join the Bahamas and tool up.

lol believe that hype if you want.

mobley/chet/flagg the future of the US center position

 

[hitmonlee]

Bobby Portis is on the team. That’s all I have to say about this years team
