Gobert has such a size advantage and he does nothing offensively.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

They are abusing Lillard defensively

I know Lillard has incredible range, but that 35 footer might not be the best shot we can get.

The US have no answers for Gobert.

Stupid foul by LaVine.

Tatum and Durant have 32 of the 43 USA points.

Two man show.

I love that NBC still uses the Roundball Rock theme for basketball. Those were the good ol classic days.

Team USA needs to play a bit smarter.
We had a 13 point lead that looked to be getting bigger, and started getting sloppy on def and rushing shots.

Jrue Holiday the only non-Tatum non Durant Team USA player to have more than 1 basket with 2 baskets.

Lillard, Booker and LaVine haven't made a basket. And Draymond but that isn't a surprise. Middleton & Bam have 1 basket each.

Not exactly a sign of free flowing team offense. US has 6 assists on 16 made shot attempts. France has 10 assists on 12 made shots.

Have Durant and Tatum just been playing one-on-one?

And this is why I don’t want Lillard. He’s really struggling against larger defenders, has 1 point at the half... KD and Tatum are carrying team USA.
