Another slow start of course. But KD will take over when it matters...seems like the whole team knows it too. France is gonna need to put up like a 20+ lead at the half as a cushion to have a chance
 
I just don't understand why we come out sluggish and slow against teams. I know the tournament is over after this game, but how do you address that as a coach, with THIS collection of talent?

Establish continuity, which won't happen.
 
france got a nice group of basketball players. think US will prevail with their hoopers
 
a) Gasol - undeserved, was just anonymous in Memphis but was consistently excellent
b) Metta- Great player coming off of strong winning contributions to the Rockets, obviously shot himself in the foot with some of personal behavior but consistently excellent in his lane on the court.
c) Dwight- Top 5 player for years, led his team to the finals dropping 45 in a close out game. Crippled by injury back half of his career and became a limited role player.
e) Russ- Bad defender, can’t shoot, bad decision maker and one of the worst playoff/clutch performing stars of the last 20 years.

It’s not really the same as far as “changing narratives” goes.

Like I said NT can think whatever ya'll want but that's not how the media works. They jump on bandwagons, they love storylines. Everything you said about Russ most people not gonna care about that if he wins and don't let him make some clutch plays. :lol

You’re not wrong I just feel that most of the guys you listed didn’t have the questions about their play that Russ has…. They just hadn’t won yet. Wasn’t a narrative to change in the same way.
 
Bro soon as I turn it off, the international team ghosts. France might go scoreless the rest of the game.
 
I can’t wait for Lillard to finish the Olympics so that he can come back and request a trade…

To Philly
