Olympics Basketball Thread: Team USA... Yo WTF??! seriously...Team USA falls to 0-2 in Olympic exhibitions after loss to Australia

And this is why they went with coach K fifteen years ago.

I think he'll be a solid pro but there's no way Keldon Johnson should be making this team over some of the guys who wanted to go. Homecookin
Facts
 
Funny Wade had no problem balling the fuck out and leading the team in scoring in the Olympics

Wade made floping for fouls popular with black players. One of the first players I saw back in 2005 throwing himself and creating contact into the defensive player and expecting a call.

Being that he and the commissionee are gay as fuck, there is no doubt these two sissies are the main proponents of this freedon of movement crap.

Wade probably got nudes of Adam Silver in a briefcase somewhere. Cus I dont see how he gets so much shine from the league without sucking some serious dick.

The dude is out here promoting child gayness which the NFL, NHL, and MLB wouldn't touch with a stick. How many gay kids play basketball? Who are you promoting the Wade family to?

I dont see Wade or his wife doing any numbers outside what the NBA promoted. So why all the love for a a nigga who got titles because he played with the two best NBA players of the last 20 year in Shaq and LeBron who both took five different teams to the Finals?

He and his wife go hard on the gay she because they dont have shit important to say except my son wanna suck a dick. Covid, racial tensions, aliens, global warming, international assassinations going on but his son being able to have as pussy is an important platform.

He part of the problem because hes got Silvers ear. His floppy ass wanted fredom of gayness and now we have a floppy Team USA who cant get calls outside of their coddled little league.

Tell his sissy ass to go lead the 2021 team in scoring and bring non fabby and sick Olympics Camelo with'em.

They are fucking up their own baf not mine. Once the American players lose the urura of being the best in the world the NBA will fold. Australia, China and Europe would have no problem picking up the slack and selling basketball to the rest of the world.

The NBA is slowly drying.
 
The 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.

100% agree on Zion and Trae assuming Trae ankle has mostly recovered.

Incredibly silly we have McGee and Lavine out there instead of those 2.

I actually think mcgee is needed. He's a 7ft athletic big that can defend and get easy buckets. He did ok today but pop benched him like an idiot. That small ball shit doesn't play in fiba basketball. They needed him badly. I don't see the value in Draymond tho
 
I made a mistake about Thomas Huertel. He came off the bench. I just saw the replay. I initially didn’t see him in the box score

Heurtel has a bit of a knock, that's why he's on restricted minutes; Ntilikina was left of the squad today due to some injury

and the two most creative French guards are not even on the team : Beaubois and Maledon

is this Roddy B that used to play for the Maverics?
 
KD can't be the be talking all that best player in the world, fouling out against fucking France with only 10pts:smh:

Popovich is burning his San Antonio career to the ground with this terrible performance. He sucks in this international format.
 
Trae wouldn't be an upgrade, because he's an average shooter, below average defender and that flopping shit he does wouldn't work

They could have used Jaylon Brown if he wasn't injured, they need a wing defender. I would have liked Bridges since Brown isn't available.
 
it’s all about confidence, you play better when you’re seen as the star of the team who the team relies on for offense rather than a role player who is a third or fourth option on a NBA team

You hit the nail on the head and I feel that’s exactly what the issue is. On their National team’s they’re the man and the best their countries have to offer.

On their NBA team’s they’re good, but not the man or respected as the man.
 
Cat is ballin. If a black American did this in international play they would be screaming that this individual showmenship is whats "wrong with the game" and how the Euros do it better tho.
Straight Facts

For example see Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor

Smh

Not at all, it appears that they’re using him just like the Mavericks. Meaning he’s the focal point of the offense and everything goes through him.

If a team makes it tough for him they lose.

Popovich is the weakest link on the team. He hasn’t done anything of note without Tim Duncan and now people are seeing it on the world stage.
 
I see a lot good points made. Personally I think the team chemistry just sucks. You had KD and Bam bickering over a ball in practice. Some say they were just playing around, both players looked a bit agitated to me. Plus who knows whats going on behind closed doors with KD sensitive ass. Dude is always upset about something. Hell..I forgot he having to play alongside Draymond again. No way in hell KD don't still feel some type of way about the shit that happened between them in Gstate. Then you got Dam worrying about trying to force a move out of Portland.

Think they figured they could show up and just win. These international teams aiming for their throats. And it's starting to look like this isn't the best group of players or coaches to rep USA this year.

Same problem they had in '04...

No true PG's / playmakers....

Iverson and Marbury were the PG's..... And Larry Brown wouldn't play LeBron...

'08... Kidd... CP3.... Lebron
'12... LeBron...CP3... Deron Williams
'16... K. Lowery.... Kyrie...

'21... Dame and Holiday...

I said this earlier in the thread. It's why they should've added Trae Young. Look how he made the game easier for his teammates in ATL. Dudes was eating off of him breaking down the defense and throwing those lobs or kicking out to his shooters. It's just a poorly constructed team without a true PG. And they had 2 chances to get him and he wanted to be there. Fucking idiots

I didn't think Dame was so bad as a playmaker/Floor General...

He basically useless if he's not scoring....

Holiday is at least an elite defender...

And Pop had Durant playing center again which got him in foul trouble...

That small ball lineup is not going to work in the Olympics....

With Grant Hill running the Olympics now... Trae and Zion will be there in 2024...

Yeah man they had a 10 point lead until KD got into foul trouble which is when they collapsed. Pop has to do better. That lost was mainly on him.
