  • After watching and breaking down the first few exhibition games for the 2024 Team USA men's basketball team, I can confidently say, I'm nervous. Can Team USA win gold as the entire world is gunning to dethrone the favorites!?

    Mate loved your breakdown here and I think you're right. Team USA will give plenty of opportunities for open shots and if a team can get how then they're in trouble. Here's hoping for a Team USA v Aus Boomers final!

    Team USA played better and caught up when LaBron was on the bench. His game winning shot he should've been flagged for blatant offensive foul and he was a defensive liability. I didn't notice this till I had muted the game and bias LaBron simp announcers didn't influence my POV. Then his flaws and inadequacies immediately came to light. It's going to be an issue and be the decisive factor why we get eliminated. The only question is who will be the team to upset Team USA

    I may be the only living soul who places a higher value on Holliday than Lillard. Two-way play is a massive advantage.
    Not to say Lillard is not elite at what he does. Love to watch him play.

    USA Basketball believes that they can send a team full of shooters to outscore the opposition.
    Other than maybe Jrue, White and AD nearly everyone else is a liability defensively.
    The close game with South Sudan should be a wake up call that things are more dire than everyone is letting on.
    I predict that team USA fails to win the gold.

      @@themidrange I think you were spot on in your assessment. Players of average talent or better, that are committed to play within a system can and often times will beat great talent that play without one.
      I believe the fact that there are so many offensive skilled players on the US team without clearly defined roles is what will create the environment for a loss.
