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

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.

its because no pure point guard
 

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!!!

NBA teams rely on shooting 3’s and trying to draw fouls, teams spend the whole possession swinging the ball around for a three and/or flopping, snapping their necks back, kicking legs out, screaming “ahhh”, doing that arm sweep movement and other moves trying to draw fouls. They will stop playing waiting on the ref to blow the whistle, they are trying that bullshit in the Olympics and while they are waiting for the whistle the other team is getting the ball and going up the court. I hope they don‘t get a medal so hopefully the league will see that they have made the players soft and change those dumb foul calling rules
 
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? :lol:

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. :dunno:

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. :smh:
 
This is what happens when your league get soft. The fruitcake commissioner rather jack off to the Negro Balllet Association than bring back what made basketball popular in the first place.

Fruitcake lets these niggas play pussyfoot for 82 games a year, then will act surprised at results like this. Go look at the NBA rebounding leaders. The only American in the top is a 6'3 point guard.

Only in the USA do we allow people from othe countries to use our resources against our own athletes, then play dumb when we lose. For year, they've been fattening these dudes up for the slaughter .

Go look at how these weak MFer train. Rubberbands and 5'9 white shooting coaches. LOL! Pops ass needs to retire, he getting his ass whooped in international ball just like his mentor Larry Brown.

Until replace Silver as commissioner, the league will continue to be a joke and Team USA will be ass.
 
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
 
I dont see it with melo

Probably not but I think he was the exact kind of player veteran you wanted on this team EARLIER...

to help set up the roster recruit kinda player coach

Grant Hill should hire him NOW

so they can establish a strong foundation moving forward

instead of the rush job Mish mash recruiting
 
The Team don't have enough playmakers... Holiday and Draymond are the 2 best playmakers...

They need to start Holiday and move Dame to SG and Zach to the bench....

or make sure this is their closing lineup....

Starter | Bench
Holiday | Booker​
Dame | Lavine​
Durant | Tatum​
Green | Middleton​
Bam | McGee​

LOL. 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.

Funny Wade had no problem balling the fuck out and leading the team in scoring in the Olympics

Dickriders embraced the whitening and softening of the NBA just to have somebody to root against LeBron with. Think of how much criticism he took for having 2 L's in the Olympics at age 19 and 21. The first of which he barely played, the second was in FIBA. Self hating black men like LordSinister even nicknamed him "Bronze" and called him that for a decade. Based off losses as a teen, very hateful and anti-Black behavior. Kevin Durant is a 32 year old man and has 3 L's just this Olympics, but AlexW, large bills, Gay_Carver and all his stans go out of their way to not hold him accountable. Talkin bout the team need a true PG. :lol:

Then next regular season when he strings together 2 big scoring performances they will say he's the best player in the world, he got a jew agent, yada yada. It's a joke. There's no accountability for the superstars in this era that are "rivals" of LeBron. Their faults and weaknesses are ignored even when they choke.

Golden State ruined the NBA, competition, and future generations of NBA players making that Euro bullshit seem like the be all end all. Bring back the dogs from the projects who play physical bball, not this soft gated community nobody darker than a paper bag shoot 3s all day Steph Curry bullshit. :smh:
 
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.
Zion could have been a perfect fit Trae young still got the ankle issue that he need to chill out for a minute
