    refs call the game differently, the game is played different internationally, and the NBA is about individual vs team.

    The USA really need step up and play some
    Tatum don't play any D and his offense more less a know show.

    Because there not use to playing team basketball. Plus I think what there having trouble with size of the court. The much smaller and where there use getting space there not getting that so far. But this team is not great passing team either most of these are iso type players.

    That last shot was a good pass. But three other fuckers didn’t want to shoot and they turned it over.

    Not enough time to gel offensively, which forces team USA to employ a simplistic iso heavy offense.

    Overall this is probably one of the least talented teams I have seen from USA basketball.
