    He and Edwards were the only two Team USA members to score in the last 6 minutes.

  2. hgdeathstroke

    He played his heart out. They had JJJ at center such a bum

  3. Top-Consequence-911

    He’s so good x 4. But he and DLo will present problems defensively for a championship contender. Trading DLo needs to stay on the board.

    # Caruso, come back, bb

    How was his defense this game? I wasn’t able to catch it.

  5. clintoy911

    That game felt like the losses against the nuggets. Everyone was panicking while reaves kept on making the game seem alive for his team.

    JJJ is a fake DPOY. All the blocks/shot alterations in the world don’t matter if you can’t secure defensive rebounds.

  7. Alert-Towel-263

    At least we still get to see USA vs Canada 🍿

    Dennis out playing haliburton, I’ve seen enough give Dennis the 200+ mil max instead/s! Pretty embarrassing tho he the media hyped top 20 nba player haliburton and “dpoy” JJJ were so ineffective but nba Reddit focuses the blame pie on reaves for some reason…

    Reeves has to work on his low post defense if he does gets selected for 2024 olympics. Proud of his effort. He and Edwards I think were the 2 players USA that played the whole 4th quarter.

    Mfers on r/nba acting like he lost us the game. Like wtf? DPOY can’t play any defense, antman playing hero ball, literally no one else on the team doing anything but somehow AR getting the blame?? Crazy

  11. jecomoria

    brunson jjj was ass, only reaves and ant tried last minute

  12. goatnxtinline

    And yet they stopped passing him the ball until the second half of the 4th, AE and Brunson took over smh

  13. kiminobukogure5

    His last shot should have won it for them had the wide open 3 from Germany didn’t went in

  14. AR didn’t even get the ball on the offensive end for like 10minutes in the second half and he still ended with 21. Also how did Edwards shoot all game but chooses to pass at the end there lol

    I am ready for Reaves to cook the NBA, all this talk about his defense when we’ve already seen him play in the NBA and be fine, but now it looks like his offensive game has gotten to another level.

  16. ghoney04

    they really gave that dickhead dpoy for 7 more games

  17. Bruinrogue

    They lost in the same way the Warriors lost to us (and us to the Nuggets), out-sized. That’s what you get with Kerr.

  18. sadberto

    If only AR answered the German coach phone calls he would be in the final lol

  19. lazyass133

    Reaves played well and made timely plays. There was so much iso ball from Brunson and Ant that it was hard to anyone else to get going. Hali made a nice drive and dish to Ant for a slashing dunk. Reaves just took what was left.

  20. cozyonly

    Offensively he was great, but Germany was hunting him on defense. And the same thing happened the game prior

  21. dongerlord456

    I didn’t watch the game, but Twitter and Reddit have mentioned that Reaves was getting cooked on D late in the game. How true is that? No bias.

  22. CabbageStockExchange

    When will Reaves get some help. He can’t win with scrubs

  23. 20190229

    Reaves didn’t have a touch of the ball from middle of 3rd till end of the 4th. I really thought that was a key factor to their loss.

  24. blacPanther55

    He got roasted on defense and was a massive liability on that end. We have to tell the whole story.

  26. El_Chile_Amarillo

    He’s really him carrying the team in his back

  27. Holiday_Ad2638

    Is the US eliminated then from FIBA? This is the 2nd time this has happened in the last few years.

  28. _PointOfView_

    I watched the game, Germany were just much more composed all game and were in attack mode and were fearless, US played without much sense of urgency, just the last few minutes when they made a little push but Germany definitly were determined to win from the tip-off, as for AR he made some nice and timely shots, he shot with confidence.. he has more room to grow he is shaping nicely into becoming a pretty impactful player for the Lakers..:)

    I woke up to watch…

    and then remembered spectrum and disney are fighting so I have to suffer.

    charter made 5 billion in 2022 in profits, disney, 28 billion.

    insane they can make that much and then pass their BS onto us.

    CUTTING SPECTRUM TODAY

    …the Lakers have 41 nationally televised games anyway.
