    It’s crazy to me that Anthony Edwards is clearly the most electric guy on the floor with team USA. Dude has IT.

  2. MatticInYoAttic

    Ant with the poster. That was dope

  3. Andy_Wiggins

    Germany’s really good. Probably the most well-rounded roster outside of the US.

  4. Andy_Wiggins

    Ant’s cooking on O, but the defensive focus has been lacking a bit.

  5. PCFUTPLAYER

    Haliburton isn’t built for physical FIBA play

  6. Andy_Wiggins

    Reaves is cooking. I hate how much media attention he gets because he’s a white guy for the Lakers, but he’s legit.

  7. Calinks

    Ant hogging shots now but Kerr told him he wants him to shoot, he has a green light.

  8. Andy_Wiggins

    USA’s offense outside of Ant/Reaves has been so lackluster.

  9. Andy_Wiggins

    Ingram’s had a really weird set of games so far. I thought he’d be an offensive engine, but he’s played really passive this entire run.

  10. PCFUTPLAYER

    Brandon Ingram is so insanely overrated

  11. Kindly_Athlete_5372

    Our guys look slow and congested on offense. We need to get a motion going, or we need to just hand the ball to Ant or Austin and let them cook. BUT make sure the others crash the boards ffs.

    I am very disappointed with how we are playing against the zone. We should be swinging that ball around the perimeter and looking for the inlet when the flashing guy is open.

  12. Andy_Wiggins

    I feel like I’m watching the Wolves right now with this stagnant offense/inability to break a zone.

  13. PlayInChampions

    US missed 10-12 average difficulty shots in a row. Feels like Timberwolves in 4th quarter trying to protect a double-digit lead.

  14. FlyingScissor

    Great help by Ant as the low man there. If that kind of defensive effort/awareness translates to the Wolves, this team is going to be elite.

  15. SpeeSpa

    We have no movement. Ingram needs to be an interior big right now. Having all our boys at the 3 point line gives this German defense serious life. No room to move. No space to cook. NO FUCKING MOVEMENT. Get the role players in so we can run a motion set.

    What an awful shooting half. They need to get more stops and get their transition game going.

  17. Eggy-Time

    USA is going to struggle more than they should bc they don’t realize that small ball isn’t always king in FIBA. JJJ isn’t cut out for the more physical older school big man game (and just plays like such a bone head). Ingram at the 4 isn’t big enough but they failed to properly stack the front court depth on the team.

  18. Andy_Wiggins

    I thought Ingram would be vying with Ant for number one scoring engine on the team. He’s been…kinda bad

  19. FlyingScissor

    Ant dunk draws the USA chant in Abu Dhabi.

  20. Smeltanddealtit

    Edwards to everyone else: this is how you play the basketball 🏀

  21. Andy_Wiggins

    Man, team USA outside of Ant has been **rough**

  22. irishace88

    Bridges doesn’t do anything out there. I’d rather runs plays for him than Ingram or JJJ
