Hopefully they get together. Down 15 in the 1st half to South Sudan š®
Team USA should be embarrassed
- Thread starter STL_Cat
- Start date
It's La Famiglia B Team vs Wenyan Gabriel and Co. WG & Co. stealing our lunch money and making us apologize.

Does āVegasā take wagers on these games? If so, thatās the reason š
Embarrassing display, without AD this team would get beat. Carlik Jones is cooking world class guards. Honestly the US needs more Derrick Whites. Guys who play a role. Almost too much talent, everyone is the dude and they donāt know what to do being another option.
He tried to draw a foul instead of just making the basket. Should have gone straight up instead of leaning back to try and get the foul. Hard to fault a guy who gets a triple double though.
Entire team, except LeBron and Anthony Davis, should be arrested for inferior play.
AD contested the shot to make it somewhat difficult .
Watching it live I thought he was going to make it though
LOL at all the comparisons to the Dream Team.
Game has not meaning, just like the NBA regular season. If they play like this when it counts then worry.
These guys are multi millionaires. They are playing against friends. They do not care.
An embarrassing performance like this may be a good wake up call for the actual Olympics.
USA thinks they can just turn it on when they want to. It will probably cost them in the Olympics.
South Sudan is coming along and they are in the infancy stages of where that basketball program has the potential to be. We can give props to South Sudan, while saying we should have played better, but this is nothing at all to be embarrassed about. That program is going places.
I doubt it. They may lose an irrelevant round Robin game like in 2020 but probably will win it all still.
There should be no excuse why the 12 best NBA players on the planet shouldn't win these games by 40, especially against Sudan. So what happened?
Kind of tells you that sheer talent doesn't always win out. Experience and cohesion matters. Just because these are the best players on the planet, doesn't mean a whole lot with a new coach, and many of them playing together for the first time these last few weeks.
You can draw a lot of parallels to 1AD recruiting IMO.

World basketball was a joke back then but those guys knew How to play together. Still the best team I agree.
Thatās what always gets us in trouble, we honestly should never lose. If we played up to our capabilities and defense hard every game but we coast and it costs us a lot more the past 16 years. We still win most of the time but we shouldnāt lose often at all.
It doesnāt look good anytime USA is in a close game but I like when the games are close .
We get to see how they perform when the pressure is on them late .
