That 3 pointer on the left wing with 3:30 left was killer.

The USA bloke played that perfectly. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge that it was a freakish shot

Slovenia tanked and got smashed by Germany

Lithuania and Latvia through to Quarters. Not bad for 5 million people between the two countries

Seems the USA are always beatable either at the Olympics or the WC

it was the loss they could afford

Lithuania did it missing their best player as well.

Worth noting that next years draft features an American Lithuanian as a favourite for a top 3 pick, and a couple of Frenchmen and a Spanish bloke highly rated as well.

The days of America being unbeatable are long gone


Sadly for us it’s strong inside players, outside shooters and fundamentals that kill USA.

 

[bourbons]

Pffft wasted tournament

Yeah pretty frustrating watching them create good shots and hit them last night. What could have been (vs Germany especially).

Lack of Reath minutes in 4th quarters this tournament one of life's great enduring mysteries

To he fair, USA missing a lot of their best players too lol...
They basically take whoever volunteers to play for the USA team from what I can tell.

I'm really concerned with some of the chatter about Goorj. He's going to keep the job isn't he.....

Tbf its long gone because they dont take their best squad anymore. If a combo of Steph, Booker, KD, Tatum, Jaylen, Jrue, Jimmy, Bam and so on went i doubt anyone really gets near them still

olympics is their priority internationally. But those who've played and have other priorities will cede to others

That's the one, hope and a prayer and many years of practice!

How much credit to you think the coach is taking for that one?

Just reading an article where Goorj explains the lack of Daniels/Goulding minutes last night (no comment on why no Reath in the 4th all tournament tho ) - TLDR is they wanted to win even though it was a dead rubber, must make those guys feel great lol;

“My thought process coming into this, and I said it to Joe and Patty, I met with them and said, ‘I’m playing you just like I did the last night. I’m playing you just like I did the last one and we’re coming here to win this game’ and they scared the s*** out of me,” he said.

“We were 18 points up going into the fourth quarter and won by one, the kid got hot we had a 20-point lead and now we’re playing with that 10-point (lead).

*one by one

Although 'won by one' makes about as much sense as anything Goorj has said or done over the past month.

he's basically saying we were cruising, up by 18 late in the 3rd, then McFadden hit 3 3's and all of a sudden we were back to a 10 point lead.

I wanted to play them, but got scared because the lead had reduced and I trusted Mills and Ingles to get us over the line, but not Daniels and Goulding.

 

[Neese]

Ugh GTFO now Goorj

Know whats funny?
Goulding and Daniels probably would’ve increased the lead and restore momentum.
Ingles and Mills had no confidence in doing so. Any other rotation would’ve been better. Every time the two came in, that’s when the offence fell apart
Ingles was playing his age and ACL injury this tournament. Ain’t no way he was getting the ball to shoot 3s.

Bloody hope Gorj doesn’t go to Paris. He ll keep that same mentality.
By then Daniels would be mature and perhaps developed.

Gleeson mentioned on the broadcast he spoke to cotton 2 weeks ago and it still hasn’t gone through.


How ducking long is it meant to take?




If he was duttons au pair it would have been done by now.

They screwed up and cancelled his work visa before they applied for an athletic visa or something which made him in the country illegally for that period = inelligible for everything for eternity.
