Do us a favor Kerr ,  DNP Tatum on the bench

Rev him up for the upcoming season.

I wonder if Kerr will let Tatum play today.  :blank:

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'm thinking the same although I would like to see JT have a great game and stick it big time to Kerr.

The big thing for France is whether they can get enough scoring & shot making from their perimeter players to be competitive. They are hit or miss / mostly miss.

Hopefully, they show up and we get a good game.

G: Steph
G: Booker
F: Durant
F: LeBron
C: Embiid

France benching Gobert. So Embiid vs Wemby is on.

Will Team USA get Embiid the ball inside so that he can attack & overpower Wemby? Or will they play perimeter ball instead? I am guessing selfish perimeter ball.

Dumb shot by Ntilikina.

He let Durant get into his head from the defensive possession prior when Durant got in his face.

It is amazing how slow the fastbreak is for Team USA. Most of the guys are looking to spot up for 3s instead of filling a lane to get a layup or dunk.

Take advantage of your speed & athleticism please.

Feels like France are slowing down after a hot scoring start.

Lessort & Gobert together is a strange combination. Both interior players only. They usually play alongside a skilled forward or big man.

Wemby. Yabu. Or Batum at PF.

Huge lineup actually. Massive on the perimeter as well.

Batum at SF. Coulibaly at SG. Fournier at PG. All 6-7 or 6-8. Alongside two big centers.

G: Fournier
G: Coulibaly
F: Batum
F: Lessort
C: Gobert

Feels like France are clinging on for dear life but USA are failing to take advantage.

Ant with great D. He has been very good defensively throughout the tournament. His speed & physicality has separated from all the other wings on Team USA. Best wing defender.

France's lack of ball-handling is killing them with this lineup. They need Strazel.
