he will be back for next years playoffs, Olympics will be way later, he should be good to go unless he does not want it.

I hope Donovan can be on the Olympic team, it will be tough to get on however though. I’d like to see him get a gold metal.

A dude who spams the board as much as you is the last person who can declare “enough”.

Reminds me of a street fight i was in once when a bloke was pleading 'enough! Enough!' And my boss said "no tap outs here' then a 200kg bin was dropped on the dudes head. Good times. No tap outs...

They are a crappy team by US standards. Probably would have been beat by the 2004 team.

Miles Plumlee is on the team. Miles. Plumlee.

It's looking like Gobert was the difference in this game. The talent level overall slightly favored USA, but they didn't have a big that could defend and rebound like Gobert.

Gobert dominates the glass + dominates the clutch = victory

I can declare enough any time

Declarations usually have an impact on what happens. You can “say” whatever you want, doe.

It's a crime that his highlights ended with the 3rd quarter. Stupid Celtics...

I knew the 5 position was going to hurt us in the tourney. Had we had a bigger center to wear down Gobert it would be a different game. But rock solid win for France. And great game for both our guys. Makes me more excited for the upcoming season.

Mitchell with 4 assists and zero turnovers.
Kemba with 4 turnovers and zero assists.
USA should have played through Mitchell in the 4th quarter.

Mitchell's offense carried USA in the 2nd and especially the 3rd quarter.

Agreed. I don't get why they went away from him. Other than hero ball, doesn't make sense.
