nothing but dumb iso ball to end the quarter meanwhile Kerr has Hali sitting on the bench with Antman playing mindless hoops. Again, dude needs to be a one and done Team USA coach.

Too much one on one from USA. Not looking great. They need Hurley as coach to teach them how to play as a team.

End of 3rd Q, USA down by 3 to Germany.

Yup. And rotations and substitutions have not been on point.

If Hurley isn’t going to the NBA anytime soon, becoming coach of USA to be thought of as the best coach in basketball still like a Coach K would be a great next move.

It would continue to take us to another stratosphere too.

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

It absolutely is. It's more equally distributed now, that's all.

Of course, South Sudan was a 43-point underdog for a reason and that was almost an upset of historic proportions.

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

That was entertaining as hell! USA almost got run out of the building, made a gigantic comeback, choked it away, then needed LeBron to score and the team to play D for one last possession.

It certainly wasn't a good game for the US by any stretch of the imagination but if that's not entertainment I don't know what is. Beating teams by 40?

Although maybe the US should focus on trying to avoid making things "interesting." Up 3 on Germany.

Bron has taken over. KD is gonna mask so many of the deficiencies like he has done in every FIBA comp he has played in

 

[aceboon]

just let Bron do everything in the final minutes of these games, he's the only one not wetting themselves

 

[nomar]

A little tight but LeBron the USA pulls it out again

 

[CardiacAndre7]

It’s honestly crazy a 40 yr old is their best player still. Kerr can’t coach outside of the perfect system, and US’ defense is pretty awful.

A. If Hurley were a college coach and put in charge of pro's on team USA, the NBA stars probably ain't listening to him
B. If Hurley was coaching USA while still at UConn it'd be too much of springboard to the NBA, no thanks

Even though Kryschglky used his team USA bonafides to help recruiting and NBA connections, Hurley has already proven he doesn't need it.

Coach K was able to do it. But maybe Hurley hasn’t had enough longevity to garner the respect he did? Idk.

Coach K recruited just fine before team USA too. It just turned into him having his pick of the litter afterwards.

I’m sure he would love the challenge and to bring his system and coaching to represent the country.
