Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5048381, member: 12414"] I understand they will be prohibitive favorites which is part of the reason I think they will get beat. They will walk into the gym with the completely wrong attitude and a team will jump them to start the game. There is a history of this and that is what happened yesterday. I understand the talent level with AD, Ant, Tatum, Durant, Curry, LeBron et al is not comparable. But with one open position they bring in White. To me that was a tell on what management thinks about this team. They were not looking for more talent they just wanted less drama, availability and effort. Hoping maybe it will rub off on the team. As for the teams that could bet them: Serbia because when it matters Joker will make everyone on that team better when they are on the court with him. France who knows maybe this is where Wemby controls every aspect of a game or two but as currently constructed if a team plays defense against them they may have trouble scoring. Canada has a very good roster with SGA and he could go off. Barrett nice complimentary piece and they will bring effort and Barrett always plays with a chip on his shoulder and has gotten better since leaving New York and that pressure. And they have ten nba player on their roster. Greece is the Freak playing? If so he is also capable of making everyone else on the floor better when they are playing with him. Australia has seven nba players on their roster. There history against us sucks but maybe they are due. But I am not basing my opinion on any of the other teams. I am basing it on what I see or don’t see when I watch this group of great players play a basketball game. Now maybe everything picks up a notch when the games start, but let’s say AD gets hurt which you know has been known to happen….and they lose an early game. Can they deal with the conflict and let’s be honest the rest of the world rooting against them…without fracturing. [/QUOTE]
