a Serb is out due to kidney being removed after opponent elbowed him.
serbs won semi over favored Canada anyway. bogan bogdanovic is their scoring leader
ingram out today due to upper respiratory issue.

what i love is that this is like America’s C team and we’re in the semis.

Ingram out today due to being a bitch.
He has been a huge disappointment. Should have been him and Edwards as the stars.

care to suggest the USA Olympic team for next year?
some older guys might be best for one game but wont last the month of ball.
some a-hole hit a serb in the back with his elbow in the quarter finals. serb had surgery. kidney removed. serbs will be finalists without him.
some Olympians have no respect for others.
i remember a Bulgarian front line thug 6 8 245.
im not sure you can throw Davis out there.

Guards: Curry, Booker, Lilliard, Mitchell
F: Tatum, Brown, Durant, Leonard, Butler, Williamson (if healthy) Ingram
C: Davis, Adebayo
No one on that team is older than 35.
We had 9 players on the 3 all-NBA teams and 0 were in this team.

Serbia’s B team v Denis Schroeder and the Wagner bros in the final.
Turns out becoming world champs isn’t so easy. Noah Lyles somewhere having LOLz right now

It can’t be all on Anthony Edwards or one guy to do all the scoring. Kerr refused to give anyone the green light except him and made everyone else role players. I think letting another guy take shots in the starting lineup would have helped

USA lost due to a key fundamental basketball, they as a collective don't box out. When the ball goes up, International players find a man to box out and secure the ball, American players continue to watch the ball and attempt to position themselves for the rebound. Germany and Lithuania killed the US on second-chance shots.

Is he, though? Take the 2 finalists, Serbia and Germany. How many NBA teams can they beat? How would they fare against NBA playoff teams? Conference finalists? Finalists? Champs?
I'm not convinced they'd be favored against any playoff teams.

Honestly, they need fresh coaching. Kerr has done nothing to adjust.

Most overrated coach of ALL time

Hell yea he is! Erik Spoelstra is a way better coach than a guy who rode the back of two of best shooters of all time as well as had one of the best scorers of all time.

not sure this was true.
i do think the small population countries do this (for example take latvia which lost in round of 8 to Germany by 2.
latvia has one
nba guy. slovenia. just luka.
kerr was asked about using same team to get more continuity and role playing. like Serbia.
he said other guys should get to wear the USA uniform.
we have depth those countries do not."

Down 6 in the 3rd to Canada

Lost to Canada by 9 in OT. USA basketball has become a joke.

The FIBA tourney is wholly irrelevant.
