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

[im not you]

These players getting paid multi-million dollar contracts struggling to beat a non defensive ass team. Why even go there? Were they forced to play?

Avoided Spain, serbia, Australia, slovenia, etc. Literally one of the easiests paths to the finals and they can't do shyt.

germany is better than all those teams

Trae should be there too tbh

Why he would be picked on worst than hali and brunson and he can't shoot

 

[Damnshow]

Why are there so many empty seats? Stop having these tournaments over there

Don't worry, next world cup will be in Qatar. Fiba is a scam

Because it's semis. They had easy road to semis without any strong team tiring them. And they look lazy as hell.

Canada losing to a Jokic less Serbia team - not shocking in the least (Serbia can play), Canada had a good showing relative to their past history

Germany is better than those teams, Germany's basketball program is light years better from the Dirk era

USA can't secure these important rebounds. It's stuck at 10 points because of it.

JJJ is so pathetic

NBA doesn't play defense anymore

Everybody on the same level now

 

[SchoolboyC]

All this focus on 3 point shooting and length has led us to build a team without size or adequate rebounding for international ball.

Well it doesn’t help that Kerr has basically refused to play the best rebounder all tournament

They are in the same tier as those teams. My point is they had no challenging team to face until Germany. They should have been rested for this game and they look tired and will allow more than 110 points.
