Team USA vs Germany on FOX
- Thread starter HoldThisL
- Start date
If the rotation don’t look like this they losing at least 1 game
Starters: Steph Ant KD Bron Embiid
Premium bench: Jrue AD Bam
Bench: Tatum Booker
Minimal role: Hali, White
1- in order to get starter level minutes for Ant, which he absolutely needs, Kerr had to play him at pg off the bench. Him at Pg is not working. So start him and let Jrue run 2nd unit pg.
2- Kerr is an idiot pigeon holing Ant ans 6th man. In his mind he’s thinking that’s too much firepower to start. But they aren’t even hurting teams with the starters . Ant’s young energy is needed to make the 4 30+ year old guys better. He would be a menace surrounded by them
3- Tatum and Booker are indicative of a generational thing. They are hoopers built in a lab. Mechanical trainer-built game. So outside of their element their value drops
4- Bron doin too much. It’s not his fault, but in this setting you should not need to play this way. They will lose if it turns into a bron celebration fest

USA basketball supposedly learned a lesson after 2004 by committing to a core group and letting them all play together at every tournament building up to the Olympics. They stopped doing that after 2012 and we get these all star teams culminating with the washed Avengers we have now.

this old hat for us. I'm not even annoyed at it anymore@Don Homer @CSquare43 the country finally finding out what a bozo Kerr is, how long we been trying to tell folk and all they did was hit us with the
in theory it should be easier to do now that the FIBA World Cup & Olympics happen in back to back years (have a roster commit to both events) - but USA players just dont value the World Cup like the rest of the world does. If they required 2 year commitments from players, it would likely just lessen the talent pool on the roster. These guys only care about the Olympics

The only worldly competition that matters
the rest of the world values the FIBA World Cup. Im not saying whats right or wrong here, but the players from Team USA dont put much value on it. Until they do, its going to be difficult to build out strong continuity on the Olympic roster.
Its always going to be B(or C) Team going to World Cup, A team going to Olympics (with a few players from the B Team making the A Team). Its hard to build perfect chemistry in two weeks, even with the best players in the world
Team USA’s Kawhi Leonard call left Clippers’ Lawrence Frank ‘very disappointed’
Kawhi Leonard won’t always have Paris, and Lawrence Frank isn’t pleased about it.

They stopped doing this in 2012, so it was an issue before that.
But i agree now since they won’t commit to the World Cup.
This team should get gold but I think it loses at least one game in group stages.
they are fortunate to have an 'easy' group to ramp up with -- I can see a tighter game with Serbia this time around, but I think after the scare Sudan gave them, they will come out to make a statement against them in group play. Realistically they should handle PR easily.

You know international ball better than me, but I see a team that ain’t clicking offensively and also can’t put together performances on short rest.
