Damn shame! He should’ve been the second scorer in the starting lineup instead of putting it all on Ant man.

He’s listed as out with an upper respiratory illness

Well it's very clear that he just doesn't give a shite to play good defense. He might try the first 3 seconds of the possession, and then he reverts back to lazy don't give a shite D. He doesn't block out and lets guys go around him for rebounds constantly.
Hopefully he recognizes his laziness on that end of the court and has an awakening going forward. He should be embarrassed that he's getting the least amount of playing time, other than Kessler, than guys like Josh Hart and Austin Reeves.

Meanwhile we lost to Germany, gave up 113 points, and got out rebounded. Anthony Edwards had 17 shots and only 3 assists, Reaves had 0 assists, and we couldn’t stop Daniel Thesis and Dennis Schroeder.

What did BI do wrong again and why is it his fault we lost? I look forward to y’all’s rational and thoughtful answers.

USA lost to Germany because of weak-azz effort on defensive end. Scoring was no problem. Doubt BI woulda helped us much...on the defensive end. Giving up 113 points in 40 minutes is pitiful. Very few played hard (or smart) on D. Bridges and Hart & that's about it. Reaves played hard on D but he was just overmatched physically & was constantly "targeted" on the defensive end. JJJ was amazingly bad, considering his defensive potential.

both teams shot well.
the half-time stats were 50% from 3 for both.

Germany moved the ball and guys hit open 3s.

the German forwards were Nba guys and bigger.
Celtic legend Red Auerbach: " good big beats good small".

its good damn thing he doesnt have this loss to deal with on top of being demoted to 2nd string.
i hope he cant play in the bronze medal game.
if usa comes home with no medal the drama will be awful.
Canada is without jamal Murray.
i hope we see serious defense.

hes just not "guy#1 on the western champ."
he was dealt away along with picks and players for davis.

here are some recent western champs guy#1.
jokic
davis
steph

you may see zion or morant on the guy1 western champ list some day.

ingram is not a guy1 on champ but unlikely to ever wear USA again.

Michael McNamara is a career failure. Hell, his own mother considers him a failure.

So, we shouldn't expect a nauseating number of posts from Lakers fans anointing Reaves an MVP candidate after this game?

Get that dick out of your mouth and stop trolling. Davis isn't even a #2.

You actually think Davis was the Lakers #1 and not James when they won their bubble title??

For sure, painful to watch. International players move the ball inside and on the perimeter. This causes adjustments for the defense. US can adjust one maybe two times and then just hope for a miss that they can gather. AAU system sucxs.
