Wednesday 9/11 FIBA game thread

Redeem Team 2 coming soon, eh?

Say bye to 90% of this roster.

Thibs commented 5 times on ESPN that they needed to give the ball to DM but they never did

did he? I was watching the french stream. dont got espn.

but yes, thibbs making sense. Kemba was totally off but he kept forcing mid range step backs.

Yes, it was on ESPN2 and Thibs was the commentator. In one case announcer even asked "why doesn't Donovan Mitchell have the ball" or such, to which Thibs replied "They're running different sets (in Q4), trying to put Gobert on P&R"

This roster would be a 7th seed in the west at best.

I'm not sure they make the playoffs...what's with all shlubs on this team?...I get the superstars sitting out but there are a lot of NBA players between LeBron and Plumlee/Lopez...and the hero ball, yikes...glad to see the Jazz players beasting though and can't wait for the season to start...

Gobert may end up King of the World

I just don’t get it.


Also, Thibs is almost as bad as players only. He’s more insightful, but no emotion.

Rudy was just interviewed on ESPN, said it was a win he’s been dreaming about for a long time.

Kinda sad that he beat such a crappy US team.

I wouldn't say they are crappy. They won every game before this one. They are still one of the best teams in this tournament. The rest of the world has gotten better.

Ya it's crappy compared to our Olympic team but in comparison with the rest of the fiba teams this team USA is actually still very good.
Good win for Rudy and France

It bugs me that USA lost, yet Gobert won it for France and Donovan played a great game. Take what you can get and move on.

Thibs on ESPN now.. comparing donovan Mitchell's play with Derrick Rose back in Istanbul 2010. He reminds D-Rose continued the momentum and won the MVP in the NBA. WOW

 

[NAOS]

Welp, DM made it through FIBA without an injury. Now let’s hope Joe and Rudy do the same.

Edit:
The USA has to play for fifth??! Damn this tournament is dumb.
