You're legit maybe the worst poster in thecoli

Shut the fukk up with your terrible takes. You're a moron who has no idea what he's watching

Tatum had a couple good scoring games in games that didn't matter. Didn't start a game and was inconsequential the whole tournament and especially when it mattered

The mistake of USA basketball was not getting enough guys who will play in 2028

Any organization has to succession plan

Kerr has alienated Tatum
KD, Bron and Steph won't be playing in 28
I doubt Holiday & White play in 28
I doubt Biidy Biid & AD play in 28

That leaves Ant, Book, Bam & Hali...and Hali not even playing

Steve Kerr is a fkn terrorist
Bro, they have a deep pool of talent and world championships in the middle of it all. They will be fine.

28 they will have Tatum JB Ant Hali Paolo Ja Fox Booker, Chet, etc. And they will have a lot of defensive wings to throw out there - the issue will be bigs.

NAH HE HISTORICALLY
DISAPPEARS IN BIG PLAYOFF
MOMENTS.

BREAUGH MANNED UP TODAY
ON THE BIGGEST STAGE KNOWING
HE WAS GONNA GET ALL THE BLAME
IF HE LOST TO JOKER.
:devil:
:evil:





fukk no... That nikka balls the fck out and is one of the best players in the league when healthy.
If kawhi don't hit some crazy unbelievable shot, bro would more than likely have a ring.
Narratives be having y'all fukked up. Lol

LeBron had a narrative of disappearing in big moments, isn't clutch and needed help. But nobody even remembers that anymore cause the narrative changed.

All that disappear talk goes for players who have the ball in their hands and have opportunities to make their own shot.
And even then, context is important. But nobody really cares

That team is struggling to win a gold medal

Wouldn't have it made sense to have Fox on this team instead of Derrick White?

Put all the marbles on the table for 24 & 28 will be a struggle

White has been insanely good and filled a huge need

Fox is not playing over Curry, Jrue, Booker, Ant etc

It's shocking how much so many ppl on here look at these teams the way a little kid would

Yea it’s weird, Jalen brown is athletic as hell and is seemingly just hitting his prime, but idk he moves like an old man. I have a hunch he’ll age a lil more rapidly. If not then yes he’s in

But if healthy Lamelo is in there and a key piece. Him , Ja, and Hali are the only guys I see as legit PGs who could set the table and that’s critical in this format.
