C team ass squad

Gilbert Arenas called them the F team

I know he laughing his ass off right now

You have 6-7 NBA all stars on this team plus from what im hearing from Laker fans a future ALL NBAer in Reaves no excuses son....this was very lame and set american hoops back 5 years...

Lakers fans are delusional

The wings are one thing. Guards, they'll be fine. The rebounding is a problem.

Last year's league leaders in rebounds per game, 9 of the top 11 were foreign bigs. Randle was the only one in the group that's American.

They better holler at Loon or Drummond.

This ain't the 90s anymore


Cant keep sending your B or C team and expect to win easily. These other countries ain't scared anymore

These other countries also sent their B-Team. We lost to Stevie Ray and Horace Hogan.

If we send our best squad tho it usually evens out the chemistry issues. But the question is if that's possible for anything but the Olympics.

The Olympics are important. But the World Cup is also really important for world rankings.

Getting bronze for USA would be a step up from the disaster of 2019. At the same time, each cycle before the next Olympics, Grant Hill and Steve Kerr need to have his best 7-8 players commit to playing in multiple tournaments/events in the years before the next Olympics. Just like Coach K did after the 2004 Olympic bronze.

Perimeter defense and rebounding are huge problems.

Don't you get it? It's apparent Kerr wants nothing to do with that diaper booty fukkin injury prone Hornet.

fukk him and his vision. He had us out there watching Josh Hart. I don’t give a shyt who he wants.

 

[StatUS]

Reeves was ballin on O but he has absolutely no lateral quickness on the perimeter and no strength on the block.

AD doing the lords work in LA, no wonder he can only play half a season

Let's not diminish Brother Hogans talents. He has good fundamentals

 

[Henry Orbit]

C team ass squad

Coli posters could compile a better roster. Get Grant away from all roster decisions. Get me Ja/Zion at the next Olympics. I don’t care about PR
