Team USA Basketball 2024

[Who]

Selfish midpost play by Tatum.

Seen that a fair bit in these games. He hasn't looked comfortable creating his own shot from anywhere else on the floor. Looks overeager to prove he deserves to play. Overdoing it looking for his own shot.

[Who]

I have warmed up to Booker as the tourney as gone on. He generally makes the right play on offense. Stays within his role. Takes good shots. Makes a good number of them.

Not an important part of team but he has probably been the best player of the back-end of the roster = Steph, Booker, Tatum, Hali, Embiid.

[Who]

Great job by Bam hitting the offensive glass. Wemby & Yabu do not defensive rebound well. Bam can get a lot of joy if he diligently attacks the offensive glass. Good to see.

[Who]

The team did not do well with Tatum on the court. He was 1-3 FGA with his only made shot being a dunk.

The team has looked better off without him today.

[Who]

I'd like to see Team USA drop Tatum in the 2nd half and play D White instead.

[Who]

These LeBron coast-to-coast moves remind me so much of an older Magic Johnson in the late 80s early 90s.

LeBron doesn't have the freakish speed anymore but his bulk and size is so difficult to deal with once he builds up a head of steam. Much like Magic.

Celtics still have the rights to Yabu?

LeBron makes me want to puke. Has spent the better part of the past decade shilling for China now wants to act like he?s some great American role model.

If your bingo card for this game had Yabu putting Lebron on a poster, take a bow.

Where was this Yabu in Boston?

Yabusele getting MVP chants and posterizing LeBron in a gold medal game?I?m sorry am I in some sort of alternate dimension?

[Who]

France struggling.

Fournier & De Colo are too old. They have no perimeter creation after their drop-off. No longer quick enough to create off the dribble. The others (Cordinier, Strazel, Ntilikina) are all too limited from a skill point of view.

[celticinorlando]

I?d like Yabu on this Celtics team

[Who]

Yabu is their 2nd best offensive player after Wemby.

He has been doing this for France consistently throughout the tourney & warm-up games.
