[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I hate to say it....

Gil's right.

Oh, I know you hate to say it.

Lamelo gone have to redeem us in 2024.

Also. Lavine is not a good player. He completely fukks up their rhythm. Book was terrible this game. It’s just bad

USA thought this was gonna be a Lavine lobfest all tourney long.

France don't give a fukk. That roster got guys who don't care that it's KD.

If Jan Vesely plays a part in eliminating USA from Group Play, @mastermind is trading in his passport.

France ended the game on 16-2 run and weren't even hyped when they won

 

[MikelArteta]

every player who has torched team usa so far has been a guard, having only one guy (holiday) out there who actually plays defense in the backcourt

Once de colo or fournier got that switch there eyes lit up

watch satoransky go for 25 and ish

 

[Amor fati]

also this what happens when you don't send your best players

it gives the other teams a better chance of winning

Yup, also the other teams have been improving as the years have gone by.

 

[Stinky Diver]

Because a lot of those points were off fast-breaks.

As much as US players have seemingly declined in quality, the international game has also improved.

That ‘08 team had players to lock you down when needed. These dudes are nowhere close to that team in IQ.

 

[Alpha Dog]

The lack of true playmaking paired with defense is shocking. Jrue right off the plane was more effective and filled the role better than dudes who have been playing together for 6 weeks. LaVine, Dame, Booker and Tatum should dominate and they looked overmatched against Nana De Culo and Evan Fournier

Weak Ass Squad, We Better Bring The Hittas Next Olympics I’m Tired Of This

czech got an annoying squad
they beat us (canada) and beat greece

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Imagine prime Kobe or prime Bron blowing this.

KD

And no excuse either. Nikka only played 50 games in 2 years

This board is tryna be slick and pass the blame to Dame (who is also at fault of course)... this is Durant's team and he was horrible today.

 

[Cole Cash]

looking at the domestic gaurd france had and even on his best day, durant needs to gameplan and have a plan of attack with everyone on the same page to deal with a guy like Gobert let alone adding Fournier and Batum. Honestly our guys look fukkin sluggish and like the season, and year has taken alot out of them. i legti not mad at them for losing/not medaling. this shyt is a mess not of their making

 

[RammerJammer]

Going to get some French toast

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

Dame must’ve had a hangover

 

[10bandz]

Jrue fresh off a title and leads the team in scoring off the bench
