Team USA Basketball 2024

[perks-a-beast]

Part of me is glad Tatum is not playing. Conserve your energy for Banner 19, big fella.

[#1P4P]

USA is shooting 66/65/33, while Serbia?s shooting 48/26/89 with only a 12 point lead with time left in the third quarter.

I expect this gap to close, a tough finish incoming.

Spoke too soon, haha! If any team can keep up those shooting splits on both ends it is Team USA.

[Who]

Durant & LeBron = 41pts on 16-19 FGA 3-3 FTA

LeBron now 18pts 9ast 8reb. Almost a triple double.
Durant 23pts

Jokic 20pts 8ast 5reb 4stl

Steph is such a D Bag. Jeez.

[Who]

Good game. A bit like the warmup game when they strolled to victory against Serbia then too as well.

Sit all the Celtics so they are fresh for banner 19

[blink]

Steph is such a D Bag. Jeez.

yeah that was a bit embarrassing.

also what is up with lots of these commentators saying that Booker is some great defender.

[celticinorlando]

Just asked Jayson Tatum if he was sick, he told me, ?No, I?m good.?

Lol right? Booker is the worst defender on the team by a pretty wide margin. Haliburton isn?t great either but at least he has elite length at his position to disrupt passing lanes.

[blink]

Dawn Staley kind of embarrassing as well.  C Clarke wasn?t good enough to be on the women?s team until a couple of months ago.  What?

[hodgy03038]

So I guess Tatum isn't good enough to play for this team?

[celticinorlando]

Take the rest of the summer off JT. You deserve it

[Atzar]

He kinda played his way out of the rotation imho.  With Durant coming back, somebody needed to sit.

[SparzWizard]

Tatum does have his finger or fingers heavily wrapped.

I?m pretty sure he wasn?t playing today because of sickness or injury

Well that finger(s) better be healed by opening night in October

[SparzWizard]

LeBron and Davis finally beat Jokic but with a superteam smh
