Still forcing the square peg thru a round hole.

🇺🇸 Team USA Starters vs. Serbia:

Steph Curry
Jrue Holiday
Jayson Tatum
LeBron James
Joel Embiid

At least Tatum is starting at forward instead of D Booker.

Some progress.

Really sloppy play by Team USA so far.

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.

I don?t know if it is the contrast of European ball or what but Embid and Lebron look the slowest I have ever seen them. They are still effective scoring inside but the rest of it is kind of painful to watch.

That?s what I saw also at the start of the Canada game.

They got invited to the select team.  Hayes I think in part because he has been very successful in Europe and is more likely to play like the bigs the US tram will face in the Olympics.

I still think it?s odd that guys that aren?t good enough for the NBA are even on the select team.

I was really surprised also, but it made some sense, kind of like the scout team for football.

That was an interesting bench mob lineup

G: D White
G: D Booker
F: Ant Man
F: Bam
C: A Davis

Nice mix of interior D, rebounding and athleticism from the two big men. Two versatile offensive minded wings who can score, shoot and pass. D White as a glue guy.

Wenyen Gabriel is on South Sudan. Was wondering if they had any NBA players.

Never heard of him.  :laugh:

I looked him up just now. He?s going to be 29 in a few days. Really don?t understand giving him a spot at that age.

The hilarious thing is, South Sudan is actually going at Embiid. No fear against him  :laugh:
