I’m confident we won’t be as cold from 3 against Spain. At least we had this let down in a non-elimination game.

My fellow Canadian brehs overreacted for no reason after that Brazil game. This generation is different.

American fans are so fickle with their teams lol

Did you see Canadian posters after the Brazil game?

I was one of them lol.

I'm just being a dikk because all the USA fans were talking so much shyt yesterday, only to come out and lose the first game they played against a halfway decent team

 

[Voice of Reason]

Other than Ant. Who on the current squad will be at the Olympics next year?

These cacs wanted it to be Austin Reaves so bad.


I like the guy but the overrating is unbearable.

Why in the fukk is Ja Morant not on this team

USA fakkit small ball coming home to roost

NBA players got way too comfortable for the rules diminishing the influence of the big man and to be so much in favor of wings and guards
When you get to the World stage with FIBA/Olympics you start to see how much other teams can take advantage with Size against the US. They just straight abused NBA small ball play by pounding in the paint, crisp paint passing, high elbow jump shots, etc

The US coaches have some blame as well. Making Walker Kessler a bench warmer, JJJ only being used as a screen setter and roll man, etc. Even when they were down big, they still stayed with small ball. NBA's neglect for the Paint is coming back to haunt them

AD is the only hope and even he can't guard Jokic.


The US needs another big body at center.

The foul trouble that JJJ is gonna be in

 

[Voice of Reason]

Andre Drummond been talking cash shyt about his rebounding. Well the US team might need it for 2024.

Him and AD

 

[SchoolboyC]

Banchero to me is the only other guarantee

JJJ will probably be back as Bam’s backup unless AD is healthy enough to play by some miracle
