      Spain was very good, had multiple nba stars on the teams, but this game was very poorly officiated in favor of Spain, bunch of calls and no calls, favoring spain, this game shouldn't have been close, US beat them earlier in the tournament by almost 40, poor officials kept spain close in this one

      The big problem is Colangelo
      He needed, like this team or 2012 or even that weak but still undefeated 2016 team, an actual Center
      The starting lineup should be:
      C - Myles Turner
      PF - Bam Adebayo
      SF - Kevin Durant
      SG - Bradley Beal
      PG - Jrue Holiday
      Dame, Tatum, Draymond should be first off the bench as, in order, offensive energy, post defense/scoring to slow the tempo, defensive energy and fast paced movement when on a run
      Julius Randle, Devin Booker/Trae Young (similar usage to how he was in the All Star game, but also would solely be a passer unless needed to make the big shot to spark a run) and Nerlens Noel should be in for situational purposes
      Jerami Grant...I guess just to be there
      The team they have now is filled with iso players, players that aren't gonna win a ring because they're style over substance (Dame, Tatum, Lavine, Beal)...I thought 2016 was like this but they had Deandre Jordan and Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler to balance things out (having Lowry, PG and Derozan instead of playmaking depth was such a terrible idea at the time for me, but it worked out somehow, maybe it was Coach K)

With a lot of absences, 99% of them due to injuries, Sergio Llull, Ricky Rubio, Sergio Rodríguez, Nikola Mirotic, Carlos Alocén, Alberto Abalde, Serge Ibaka, Alex Abrines, Santi Aldama...and remember, this was the best Eurobasket ever played. With four NBA MVP trophies, and a few Euroleague MVP trophies on court. Giannis, Jokic, Doncic, Schroeder, Markkanen, Larkin, Micic...
      Spain is the powerhouse in FIBA basketball in this century, by far. NBA is other world, but here you are watching probably the greatest NBA/USA team in the history, sweating blood to beat Spain without his best pg, Jose Calderón.
