Bam and Holiday played well.I can tell you the only player the French team feared was KD, besides him they were pretty sure they could stand to everybody else on that US squad

Seriously I have a theory why do United States basketball team is horrible at this point you seen plenty of comments on this board about how soft the NBA has gotten well the softness is showing when we play international games.
Still they are softits because no pure point guard
This isn't a team. This is a gathering of talent.
Take it to the rack with the intention of MAKING THE SHOT, not looking for contact and a foul call. A bunch of dudes at the the 3pt line waiting for the pass. I know these dudes grew up on the some of the same court we used to play on. Take it to the rack when shit gets close!!! Fuck this country club ball man!!!
The French team didn’t even have Huertel (who is miles better than Frank N and Albicy) running point
Damn
Spain can beat the USA too
What the hell is melo going to do?
Too old and he ain't going to play defenseYo real talk
Olympic Melo ain't no joke
He was like some type of point forward magician
And that mid range game is perfect for the international stage
Too old and he ain't going to play defense
Seems like the current squad needs anything it can get.
I think experience, floor generalship, a consistent mid range, ability to post and slow the game and spread the floor
Will supersede defense right now.
And Melo can still rebound.
I dont see it with melo
Yall celebrated that soft ass Euro ball that Golden State popularized the last few years. Now that the Euros are kickin our ass with it, how does it feel?
Too many superstars in this era are some finesse, shoot 3s all game, don't play defense ass mofos that are super reliant on officiating being slanted to jump shooters 25-30 feet from the basket. It was bound to catch up.
All I know is when we had Black people in the NBA that played defense and with physicality we never lost. Now we sending all the "greatest offensive players" ever and getting destroyed.![]()
Funny Wade had no problem balling the fuck out and leading the team in scoring in the OlympicsLOL. Didn't even read your post and I basically said the same shit. Curry ball was just as bad as Jordan one on one BS.
This is what happens when you dumb down the game to the point where playing defense is a crime. This is what they wanted. Until you clear out Silver and his girlfriend Dwayne Wade the league will remain soft.

Zion could have been a perfect fit Trae young still got the ankle issue that he need to chill out for a minuteThe team needs a pure pg who can shoot. It's absurd that Trae isn't on the team and they had a second opportunity to get him.
Zion should be there too. Someone who draws fouls and gets easy buckets.
