France was my pick for silver. Almost their entire team plays in the NBA. Also, thanks for spoiling this as YouTubeTV wasn't recording it until it was on NBC at 4PM. Was it on somewhere else before that?83-76
Just 5 players on their team are on an NBA roster.France was my pick for silver. Almost their entire team plays in the NBA. Also, thanks for spoiling this as YouTubeTV wasn't recording it until it was on NBC at 4PM. Was it on somewhere else before that?
Now why would you goJust 5 players on their team are on an NBA roster.
OK but 3 more players played in the NBA. There is no excuse to lose to France but the point is, most of their roster is NBA quality.Just 5 players on their team are on an NBA roster.
It’s hard for me to see how they medal. I was wrong about Pop and this job.I already said that Team USA is definitely not winning the gold. I'll say now that they're gonna struggle to even medal in the Olympics.
Pop lead Team USA to 7th place in the world Championships two years ago
Does anyone know how the quarterfinals are set up? It surprises me that there are only 3 groups of 4. Does no one care about basketball worldwide? I thought it was a big deal. In any event, looks like the US will be the #2 team out of their group. I have no idea what that means for a quarterfinal opponent. Maybe some who are following this can speculate?It’s hard for me to see how they medal. I was wrong about Pop and this job.
The excuse/reality is the US loses whenever the roster doesn't have enough time together to build a cohesive unit. Rolling the ball out isn't enough no matter how good Durant is.OK but 3 more players played in the NBA. There is no excuse to lose to France but the point is, most of their roster is NBA quality.
But why? I assume because the pool isnt as deep, the other countries are used to playing together a bit more?The excuse/reality is the US loses whenever the roster doesn't have enough time together to build a cohesive unit. Rolling the ball out isn't enough no matter how good Durant is.

Pathetic. What a disgrace, maybe they should worry about playing basketball and wasting time on social issues. Nobody give a F*** anyway.
You care. Why else would you post in every NBA thread telling us all how you don’t care?Pathetic. What a disgrace, maybe they should worry about playing basketball and wasting time on social issues. Nobody give a F*** anyway.

Yes other national teams tend to be more consistent, across multiple tournaments, even multiple Olympic cycles sometimes. Team USA was adding players as of last week.But why? I assume because the pool isnt as deep, the other countries are used to playing together a bit more?
NBA quality and NBA All stars are 2 different things. This team should not lose to France.OK but 3 more players played in the NBA. There is no excuse to lose to France but the point is, most of their roster is NBA quality.
Well, its not like it's Trinidad and Tobago....This team should not lose to France.
Plus the other countries are more accustomed to the international rules.But why? I assume because the pool isnt as deep, the other countries are used to playing together a bit more?
It gives me no pleasure being right. What a debacle. Lots of big names that just can’t finish Games. InexcusableFor those who suggested that Pop’s time has come and gone, you were right and I was wrong.
Hey Pop is a sure fire Hall of Famer but his best days are behind him and his post game arrogance is ridiculous. Damn right the media should question how your collection of high paid, proven NBA talent continues to lose game after game and can’t close out games up late to inferior teams.It’s hard for me to see how they medal. I was wrong about Pop and this job.
BS - this false narrative is exactly why the National team concept was rolled out and perfected by Coach K for years up until that crusty old Geezer Pop took over. They train and play international ball together prior to the World Championships and Olympics to avoid what you typed above. Call it what it is: baffling and unacceptable with the talent assembled on that roster.The excuse/reality is the US loses whenever the roster doesn't have enough time together to build a cohesive unit. Rolling the ball out isn't enough no matter how good Durant is.
I think that guy plays the 5 for Team Japan.
Napa Valley says hello.They kicked our ass in winemaking too. Bastards.
You never cease to flash “hey I’m an idiot” on this board. 🚨OK but 3 more players played in the NBA. There is no excuse to lose to France but the point is, most of their roster is NBA quality.
🙄🤔If you're gonna unnecessarily involve politics into the discussion, at least be accurate. He did go to the white house this year, however he did not show up for previous trips.Do like Tom Brady did, he showed up to the White House and didn't stay at home to protest his feelings.
