Olympic Tournament

US has no inside game. If the three and mid-range ain't falling, they're toast.

France is going to be even better once Wembanyama starts feasting future Olympic teams.

I hope he gets one tourney with Gobert in his prime. That's a scary frontcourt.

They kinda need the replace Heurtel and Batum though. Need some ballhandlers.
 
The US simply plays awful as a team. No sense of team really as they just iso - wouldn't shock me at all if they didn't even medal.
 
De Colo is stepping up, was playing subpar for his standards.

France need to survive non-Rudy minutes, they kinda did in the first half. These 3s are helping a lot but I expect USA is going to come out firing. 6 point cushion is good but not a lot.
 
USA in the penalty. Luwawu is out of his depth. 3 fouls in the 4th.

Collett is keeping Rudy on the bench. That could bite them in the ***.

That was backcourt, if Fournier's was. Bad call. Lucky bounce for Holiday right after.

Holiday is ready, lol. USA up 6.

Rudy went bananas to contest that Durant middie, lol.

Batum making things up for his foul ob 3pt attempt. Hit a three and forced a foul.

De Colo with the steal, Yabusele with the hustle, Fournier with the 3! France is up! Rudy forces Durant miss. Lavine misses after the offensive rebound and technical issues with my channel. ****!

It's back! De Colo makes both. Up 4. Free throw game. GO FRANCE!

Lillard slipped, lol. What a choke. Steven Gerrard style.

Also Lillard tackled Fournier there. Should be unsportsmanlike foul.

4 of Durant's fouls was on Gobert. Defended him well too. Makes both clutch free throws.

Oh, I forgot about Vincent Collett. Not many good memories about him as the coach of France. He had some success, though.

Popovich said, they have been preparing for France for 2 years. What a punch in the face it would be if they lost. They are the favourites, though.

Right off the bat, Gobert effect in first possession. Adebayo blew a wide open lay-up because Gobert was trailing lol.

Nice of Batum to immediately feed Gobert with Durant guarding him. Gobert draws the foul.

I would like Batum on the Jazz for the high IQ, quick plays but I don't think he is a good defender anymore.

Tuning into Popovich if possible lol.
 
France ended the game on a 16-2 run and made Fournier look all-world.

They play undisciplined and poor team ball and it killed them yet again.
 
What's funny is ESPN will write things such as 'stunning' that the US lost and all I can think of is 'Haven't you been paying attention?'

Losing to Nigeria, France and Australia isn't shocking when you actually watch them play the game. They're simply not used to a smaller court, getting hand-checked and relying on touch fouls and throwing yourself around to get FT's.

Does this silence those who blamed Gobert for our second round exit? The dude dominated.

Maybe the issue is that we need to surround better players around Gobert? Maybe Q Snyder needs to change his coaching?

because all I heard was that rudy was the cause for our loss.

Thoughts?

Rudy supposedly looking like **** was a Quin problem.
