    That photo is super misleading. JT was clapping and smiling on the sideline quite a bit. I think he understands how that everyone gets their shot to play when it's the right team and time.

      I feel the same way and I was kinda pissed when I saw the title because I'm so exhausted of people are stupid on tatum and I'm glad as well it didn't turn out this way, thank you.
      But in the same time you're saying that those other guys just have the little touch more... I think if that's the case, then it's really a very small gap and actually no, I don't think that those 2 guys are still better then Tatum. Yes, KD and lebron are still very good, in fact Lebron is the best player at his age, nobody even got close to those performances at this age and he's doing it consistantly. but I don't think those 2 are better then Tatum, maybe there where better in the past but...
      I guess Kerr wanted to play KD, because of the past in GS and I guess Lebron just had his impact on saying, hey I'm joining the team but I'm always playing no matter what, "le GM" has an impact even there xD.
      In those kinds of games you shouldn't bench a player which was consistent and always available as Tatum was. And the other strange thing is to put someone in the lineup who didn't play not even a single minute... but I agree, giving him garbage minutes in the end would make it even worse.
      In terms of derrick white, in my opinion that shouldn't be mentioned from anyone as a reason why Tatum didn't play, that has nothing to do with it.
      But what I also see is, media and people are just making an elefant out of that. relax, it's just one game and we don't know all the background and all that stuff. people overthink those things.

      No, but the point isn’t to be honest, it’s to manage egos and maintain team buy-in. They don’t give a shit about being honest. If it were up to him, the Draymond punch would have never seen the light of day. They could give a damn about Poole. Personally I think it’s embarassing that he and the Warriors have placated that douche, but they just care about winning.

    I personally think the lineup should have been : Steph, Tatum, KD, LeBron and Ad
    Jrue, Ant, booker, Bam and Embiid.
    And if they didn't bring Embiid to this event, they could have maybe tried to add Chet, as someone who can play the 4/5 alongside Bam.

NBA is the WWE, OLYMPIC BASKETBALL is like Olympic wrestling, It's the real game rules. Defense matters. Jayson Tatum Is one of the best NBA players on this team. He is not one of the best Basketball Players on this team. He is slow defensively in Real Rule Basketball, can't cover the back screens, and can't guard European Post Players. Offensively he settles for Jumpers, and does not know how to post up at his height. He does not dominate the boards, or block shots. He is not involved if he is not scoring. And he is not physical enough, BUT!!!!! He is perfect for NBA ruled Basketball.

    Didnt he say the 24 celtics would beat team Usa?! DON'T believe me , look it up!!!
    So if he didn't play game 1, then why do we really think that is 🤔
    We humbled him... we can win without you...

    There weren't minutes for him? He couldn't take Ant, Jrue, Derrick, Embiid, or Booker's minutes? You don't think he could guard any of their positions at least as well? Tatum guarding the 5 in the NBA Finals is the main reason the Mavericks went from having like 3x the playoff record in lobs of any other team to only completing 2 across a 5 game series. You don't think he could score at least as well as those guys? You're high brother

    Dumb analysis. If you don't get to play, you don't get to show yourself, so to say someone played better, well, we don't know. Against Serbia tonight, the US looked like the Lakers playing a play-in game to the NBA tournament by the skin of their teeth, as opposed to the Celtics dominating everyone all season and the playoffs. Sad part is the US could have put four players from one of the most dominant team in NBA history on the floor and augmented them with a few choice players, but instead it chose a generation past it's prime. Thankfully, Curry showed up finally after a poor run, but one has to ask whether Tatum would have done the same if Kerr played him.

Both are better shooters than him (well, better shot-makers than him anyway... he's great at taking lots of shots, just not making them), both are far far superior defenders to him (both are all-league defenders, and he has a deserved rep for coasting on D), both are better passers than him, both screen better, box-out more, hustle more, and excel in 50/50 ball situations whereas he does not, both are better in the clutch... actually self-correction Tatum is a slightly better rebounder and an incredible dunker

    Here's the other weird part of the analysis. JT led Team USA to an Olympic Gold last Cycle as the number 2 or number 3 player. Heck KD said he's the next best Olympic player. This isn't about not being able to play with this talent in an international setting. It's largely because Kerr has a hardon for playing three guards and prefers to go small.
    Kerr's own messaging here has been mixed to say the least. On one hand he's said "we spoke to him beforehand this would happen but ALSO I feel like an idiot for not playing him. " So which is it Steve? I do think some of this is because he felt JT wouldn't raise a stink about this. If it was Ant or Book you'd need a tent to cover how much shade we'd see from either of those two.

    Tatum not playing (or otherwise getting more limited minutes) isn’t a surprise to me.
    Team USA learned last year at the FIBA World Cup that they need to bring more bigs and legit bigs at that (so not Tatum) - and that there would be many occasions where it would be more appropriate to play two of them together.
    Tatum may be versatile, and an easy to fit guy - but he is a distant third (on this roster) at his position to LeBron and Durant, would have been fourth had Kawhi stayed with the team.
    On top of this you have Kerr being a small ball guy, would likely be playing three guards often.

      Tatum is a much more effective player than KD, KAWHI & Lebron. At this point, he's a better defender than all 3, he's a better playmaker than anyone on the team not named LBJ or Haliburton, & he's a better rebounder than kawhi, KD & LBJ. Not playing tatum doesn't matter in the grand scheme bcuz they should win but sheesh.
      I'm just surprised that Kerr is still coaching the GSW team instead of this team. Running out 3 guard lineups when the strength of the team is wings & bigs. This makes Kerr seem one dimensional. Why not dominate with a lineup of of AD, BAM, LBJ, TATUM & Curry? Or AD LBJ, TATUM, ANT & CURRY. These lineups seem to accent the strengths of this team more as opposed to JRUE, CURRY, BOOKER, LBJ & EMBIID. I guess, why adjust when you can dominate?
