Y’all need to shut the hell up with this bad roster crap

Our idiots play the game like it’s an all star game, taking turns with iso ball, instead of breaking their man down off the dribble and either getting layups or wide open 3’s, which is how every USA team has beaten the crap out of everyone.


At least for me, these two things go hand in hand. Jerami Grant and Zach Lavine do absolutely nothing that the rest of our team doesn’t have at a better level. Kevin Love has no purpose.

I mean, obviously our players are still more talented than the people they’re playing, and I want to blame them being in Vegas, but the roster set up doesn’t, and hasn’t, made sense to me at any point.

Lol. Popovich is a miserable bitch. Losing like this is pathetic and would have never happened under Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim.

Former LSU Tiger Duop Reath scored 9 on 4 for 4 shooting and grabbed 3 boards for Austalia in only 13 minutes.

Looks like he outplayed everyone om the US but Lillard, Durant, and Beal.

This is starting to remind me of Larry Brown’s tenure with the Olympic team back in the day. Brown like Popovich is an incredible NBA coach but strict disciplinarian coaches never work well at the international level.

I love how they needed a PG and didn’t even invite Ja morant

Nope, you need guys like Mike and Jim that can teach on the fly, assign roles, build team play and keep things happy and loose. Pop's team is gonna tighten up like a sphincter and keep losing.

Good. frick 'em. I'm tired of spoiled American basketball players, and how the NBA won't even allow anyone to criticize China.

I think it's great that Nigeria and Australia won. Keep on losing, Gregg Popovich.

Yes it is. Very tasty. Spoiled athletes don't eat it enough.

Could have even brought DeAaron Fox. Someone else who can break a defense down.

With Lloyd Pierce on staff I doubt they were going to invite Trea

Y’all are such true Americans rooting against the US because you disagree with people’s opinions, and instead want China to beat us in the medal count.

You don’t sound at all like the liberal snowflakes you make so much fun of.

I wouldn't argue that much. Anyone who wants to represent the USA cares about the country's athletic image, at least little.
