just saying...maybe we can cut down on stupid turnovers and make life easier for our wings if a real pg was running the showEverybody can't play.
Clippers told Kawhi to sit downThings would have been way different if a healthy Kawhi and KD was playing. I still don't understand why they kicked out Kawhi because of injury but not KD also.
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 OlympicsThe Washed Avengers
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.

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.The only worldly competition that matters

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.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.
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.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.
