Wednesday 9/11 FIBA game thread

[Rubashov]

hahaha, told everybody that this team is one of the worst, probably even worse than 2002. And yet some idiots here said they will win all games in double digits. Props to Rudy and France for dominating.

France have a good team and probably the second or third best player in the tournament. I'd rank them as 1. Joe Ingles 2. Giannis 3. Rudy. Personally I just think the gap is closing between the US and the rest of the world, a lot of countries can put out a 7 or 8 man line up that can compete with team USA. Who knows what happens come Tokyo.

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.

I'm comparing them to the competition in this event.
Like your post insinuated that the win for France isn't a big deal cause team USA sucks.

I disagree. I think team USA is one of the best teams in this tournament (maybe even the best team) and France and Rudy should be very proud of the win

While Rudy was super impressive vs USA it was Fournier and DeColo who got them to playoffs. USA really needs to get their best players for Olympics, teams with Plumlee level players will never get them medals anymore.

I felt bad for Donovan. Dude carried USA for 3 quarters and his teammates (specifically Kemba) didn’t even look his direction in the 4th. Inexcusable he didn’t get the ball more. Congrats to Rudy. Both our guys played great, Donovan just kinda got screwed imo.

No, Miles Plumlee is not on the team.

Who the **** plays for 5th place?

Fiba is garbage

The Olympics.

Placing likely matters in World Cup as these games are qualifiers for the Olympics.
