Grant Hill.

Who did you want that he didn’t get?

They need more speed and athleticism, I know ja and Zion be fukking up but what about fox, davion Mitchell, dude from the knicks who just got traded to the pacers, the center for the knicks, Marcus smart, Jabari smith, jalen Duran, jaden Ivey, the shooting guard for the rockets, Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, and other nikkas I’m forgetting right now

The point is I think these last couple of international teams been shying away from what should be a strength of team usa, speed and athleticism, it’s a reason why them 08-12 teams was lethal

 

[42 Monks]

The fact they turned down people who wanted to play in order to give spots away to Josh Hart and Cam Johnson

but but but but but all the best bigs are international

Nic Claxton watching JJJ get hoed at home like

What time is the US/Canada game

 

[Box Factory]

Latvia beat Lithuania by 36 points in their classification game

Lithuania beat the States by 6, and Canada beat Latvia by 26

So let's do some math here. 36+6+26= 72

So realistically, Canada is a 72 point favourite heading in to the bronze medal game against the States

Ant had more rebounds these 3 combined smh

As a prop bettor during the season, I already knew how underwhelming of a rebounder JJJ was lol

[Big Boss]

Anybody watching the game

 

[Voice of Reason]

need a link

 

[Voice of Reason]

zero defense

 

[Voice of Reason]

They are picking Reaves on defense.

 

[Illin Degenerate]

in general reaves needs to transfer his flopping from offense over to defense when hes getting posted up. all the sites leading up to the game were saying it would be on espn2 and suddenly its only on espn+. 2 point guards, reaves, mikal, and portis on the floor, no way in hell that lineup works.

 

[Illin Degenerate]

10-0 usa run, game tied, 6:59 left. how long until kerr switches from the lineup thats working

 

[MikelArteta]

Oh Canada
