Olympics Basketball

[Bboy Lace]

Team USA took every second to beat South Sudan. WTH?

 

[UConnSwag11]

Not good. Talent isn't what it used to be

 

[aceboon]

Kerr is an international debacle waiting to happen. He got a pass with the World Cup team even tho he still had plenty of talent to medal, if he screws up the Olympics with the "real" roster he should be one cycle and outta here.

 

[Marat]

What's going on here? Wow.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Kerr sucks. Keeps changing lineups and sub patterns suck. Edwards and Embiid really only look for themselves. LeBron was amazing and Steph is great. AD, Steph, LeBron, KD and Jrue should be the starters.

 

[HooperScooper]

Doesn't seem like the players are taking these tune up games very seriously. We'll see if they can turn on the switch when the real games start.

 

[Lefty2one]

South Sudan was a 43 point underdog.

 

[mauconnfan]

Are we seriously going to blame Kerr with all these supposed hall of famers? lol how about they just play hard enough to win easily? The ncaa kids should still be playing and who cares anyway.

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Fun game to watch. It's incredible how good LeBron still is at his age, especially when he's motivated like he was down the stretch today.

 

[Scoe]

Shouldn’t have to rely on Leold to carry you to the gold medal.

Worried about the US taking gold.

Watching that Redeem team doc those guys were locked in and Coach K was a great motivator with 10x the talent of this team. And it still took a heroic last stretch against Spain to win.

Between Kerr, the age of these guys who’ve hardly played together, and how much better the world is. Things may be shaky.

Yea good luck sending college kids against teams like Germany and France stacked with NBA pros, it ain't the 70s anymore

If this is what we're putting out there every game, bronze sounds about right.

He was great. Him and Steph are the best until KD is back

 

[Bboy Lace]

Maybe

I know right.....lol

 

[uconngb]

I’d rather watch curling than this sorry group. Zero entertainment factor.

 

[awy]

lebron wasn't happy with kerr. time for lebron to replace kerr with hurley

No shirt it’s not the 70s but it would be more enjoyable watching those kids try harder to beat them. Only issue these days is your best college players leave too early to grab the bag in the NBA so it’s not the same in that regard.

 

[UofCT]

How about Jrue getting totally beat on that last possession? I thought he was supposed to be good at D?

 

[alexd]

That's okay... the women's US Olympic team lost to the wnba all stars 2nd team.

 

[cohenzone]

That's okay... the women's US Olympic team lost to the wnba all stars 2nd team.

Which is better than most of the rest of the world Olympic teams.

For the 2nd time in a row I might say. They went on to win gold then too lol

 

[Drame]

It is primarily Kerr's fault. Its his job to prepare and motivate the team. IHe admitted the coaches did zero scouting. And people said this was the greatest team ever assembled. Could never be this generation of players. They make way too much money to care.

Even South Sudan was filled with NBA guys.
