9/3 Games thread US

Team USA simply have no idea how to play team basketball. No basketball IQ. They escaped cause turkey couldn't cope with pressure. Hey team USA how about passing the ball to each other. If ingles played with team USA they would win the gold easy.
I dont think they would. Team USA has no roll man. Turner is a pop big and Plumlee isnt good. Part of what makes Australia good is those dudes have been playing together for nearly 10 years.
 
If Joe was more high usage with the jazz I honestly think he would be better than Donovan. His IQ is off the charts.

The irony
 
What you mean by "better"? That he would be a better scorer? He is definitely a better passer and playmaker at that point. But while I don't question that Joe is a goat, mvp and not from this world he is now fresh and plays against far inferior competition. I think there were moments in the season when his usage was on the contrary too high leading to too much fatigue and drop in efficiency.
Yeah you definitely have good points. Donovan is definitely a better scorer. Though Joe is better at nearly everything else. I do agree if U have a great athlete on him U could slow Joe a little. But Joe is so efficient so smart and great to watch the way he plays the game
 
running jumping rebounding Not looking like a slow 55 year old in the playoffs.
Yeah I agree he's definitely better at those things. The playoffs though he didn't get involved. Usage way down. Look Donovan is a really good player and has great potential. Though in the playoffs he tried to do to much and it backfired. With Joe put him in pick and roll Rudy and go to work. Donovan is really good though.

I think it’s quite the opposite. If Donovan could just be given the ball to run things during this it would benefit team USA and him. No one knows who’s in charge. It’s pass it, have no plan, then just drive in or jack a shot with no plan with Team USA. There’s just little to no chemistry and little to no method to what they’re doing. Give one guy the ball and let him be the guy. Donovan would do well but I feel like he never gets enough rhythm to be very successful. Too much passing that ends up with iso’s with no plan. I’m not sure it’s going to get better before they lose either. Unless Donovan can get into the 20 ppg category I honestly think Team USA will not do well from here on out.
