These stats prior to today's loss against Serbia. Can't expect to win anything when the results are this poor

"Dating back to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Team USA had averaged a monstrous eFG% of 58.7 in its previous five international tournament appearances. In China, Team USA is posting an eFG% of just 51.2, and the team's six most active shooters are all shooting below that 58.7 baseline.

Over its past five international tournaments, Team USA converted a ridiculously strong 39.7% of its 3s -- a number so high it would've been the best such mark by any team in the NBA last season. But this version of Team USA has made just 33%. That ranks 18th among World Cup teams and would've ranked 29th in the NBA last season.

But Team USA also has struggled inside the arc. Over the past five international tournaments, the senior national team had converted 58.2% of its 2-point shots. That figure has dropped to a measly 52.6% in China, which ranks 12th overall, marginally better than Tunisia."

Team Celtics losing games for Donald Trump’s America

What. A. Time.

Frank Nitty took team USAs soul yesterday. They weren't able to mentally recover from what they experienced at his hands yesterday

This whole experience was a waste of time for everyone involved. Don't think anyone gained anything from this

Would have been nice to have Slovenia there. Canada and some of these Asian teams had no business participating

Guess he wanted to get in on the social media training video wave...

If we aren’t sending our all NBA guys to the olympics, any 2/3 of Jrue, Beal, or Booker should/need to play

Playmakers.

Same result

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Beal and Booker declined invites for this tournament so it'll be interesting to see if they choose to pursue the Olympics next summer

They're definitely needed

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Devin Booker will teach these guys how to win. Yup

 

[alchemist iq]

7pts in the 1st qtr to Serbia 32pts?

[Vincent Van Goat]

Same result

More or less I agree with you. Hoping to replicate these other countries team play and chemistry in the span of one summer training camp is a long shot. Sure, it is ideal to get a team that fits well together and can shoot, pass, dribble etc. Realistically they're still going to be behind the curve because of the lack of playing together compared to these countries who've been teammates for several tournaments

If they don't get some of the best American talent for the Olympics, a gold medal seems like a reach
