These officials with their flagrant calls are ridiculous.

There is no way we couldn’t find a better team for 3x3.

NBA players won't do it. G League guys focused on getting to the NBA to do the qualifying tourneys. College guys doing college and trying to get to the NBA.

These same guys finished 2nd in the most recent FIBA World Championships. Barry and Maddox were on a team that won the World Championships in 2019.

So we could probably find a better team, but these guys can also play better.

The US team came out in the first half and made a point about the scrimmage against SSD then just coasted in the second half. Really enjoyable to watch play. Like all the great US pro teams they just have extra gears no one else has plus the depth of the bench doesn't hurt...

Puerto Rico has several current or former/fringe NBA players. They have talent. Seems like they cheaped out on their coach though.

The Dream Team would beat this USA team by 100.

I’m so confused as to why Adebayo brings up the ball as much as he does.

Ant just goes hard. He doesn’t care who he’s playing with or against.

any idea who we may play next?

edit: maybe Brazil or Greece. Not sure if we can play a team from our group in the quarter final.

What’s up with Tatum and Embiid? They looked pretty good in the games leading up to the Olympics, but not so much when the games started.
