*USA Basketball* WOMEN EARN GOLD v. ESP (101-72)! MEN EARN GOLD v. SRB (96-66)!

[Vincent Van Goat]

Wait, so if Irving doesn't play they just have one point guard in Lowry?

 

[lawdog1]

Slight upset Dame didn't make it but I can see why

Pretty sure Dame declined. Read that he's rehabbing from plantar facitis (which I have and is painful as ****), so he doesn't want to additional stress on his feet.

Mike Conley is also in the Team USA pool. Unless he already said he's not going, he could also be a possibility.

 

[Clyde Frog]

LeBron is out. darn.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lebby need to rest. Let the other guys flourish

Surprised melo is playing tbh

 

[jumpman cbt2]

LeBron is out. darn.

It was expected. We won twice gold and participated 3 times at the Olympic games. Let others shine is right.
But that Russell Westbrook doesn't go is sad.

 

[slick vitale]

If Kyrie Irving declines they may have to go outside the pool to get another point guard

 

[big j 33]

I completely understand why so many guys are declining.. but it's still a bummer.

We'll still have 08 and 12.. but I wanted to see one more run with Lebron and co

 

[k town trash]

if kyrie is out its either conley or wall

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Wall dropped out a while ago.

 

[antidope]

Maybe now it won't be forty point blowouts.

 

[johnson1]

^ possibly

but we will stilll likely beat the crap out of everyone until the semis or final

 

[pmatic]

I wonder who the backup PG(s) are if Kyrie or Conley decline.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

I wonder who the backup PG(s) are if Kyrie or Conley decline.

Luke Ridnour & Jamaal Tinsley

^^^ Wall dropped out a while ago.

oh did he? i don't remember him dropping out

Harrison Barnes made the team per Woj.

 

[ill steelo]

I kinda wanted zero a-list guys on the team for the sake of competition.

Wished we were sending a D-level team honestly.

The scrimmage will once again be our most competitive game.

 

[Retroballer]

Barnes is 0-7 from the field already

Would've been fine with that as well. I'm more interested in seeing competitive ball rather than the US bringing home another gold. I want us to win the gold, but I also would have liked to see us challenged on the way to getting it.

 

[picasso swerve]

They need another PG asap, a pass first dude at that.

Conley would be perfect.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Harrison Barnes made the team per Woj.

He still got tension with Coach K ?

 

[buc em]

Harrison Barnes made the team per Woj.

My brain isn't ready for more missed wide open jumpers from Barnes this soon

 

[antidope]

Harrison Barnes about to show out against Nigeria and Slovenia and get his max contract money byke

 

[pmatic]
