Y’all was hyping Reeves. Dude was unplayable in this game. I don’t think in the history of US basketball have you been able to say someone was literally unplayable.

I have not watched all the games of this tournament but ain't this Austin only bad game?

The NBA philosophy of developing big men to play perimeter defense and play behind the point line is not going to look good at the world stage.

JJJ is the only player of note that can even resemble a center on the roster (kessler shouldn't be there) and yes he's a DPOY but he's never averaged double digit rebounds and doesn't play in the paint. So you got him going up against legit big men, of course we got outrebounded

fukk all that, box the fukk out. Basic basketball.

The best bigs are all international. America has done a piss poor job at developing bigs

AD and Bam is all we got

After that it’s what? Jarrett Allen, Myles Turner, Mitchell Robinson? It’s ugly

Dont matter Denver Nuggets are the World Champions anyway

Boxing out ain't gonna work when you got 6'4" nikka like josh hart trying to box out 6'8" and above sweaty nikkas breh what is you talking about

Olympics only have 12 spots why don’t they expand to 16 or 20? 12 is not enough anymore

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

it’s sounds wild but Andre Drummond would be more useful than some of these nikkas
