Best part of that boxscore? You see everyone's whole names. Jerami Grant's first name is Houston!?! Bam is really Edrice? Worst part? Dame... kinda sucked
I wondered why Durant didn't play more and then I saw he had 5 fouls? In 20 minutes? International refs are harsh! Was he fouling people with his big feet? Team USA were ahead when I checked in, late in the fourth. Must've been some collapse. EDIT: I guess it was:
I don't even have Disney + but I know what this means: Ouch: Double ouch (I guess Dame slipped at a crucial moment): Here's The Slip ...and the final seconds
Pop didn't have his team ready to play! There cannot be excuses anymore, if they want all super stars on a team, they must learn to play as a team and be ready. Its the coaches job to get them ready and in sync.
Maybe Batum is recruiting Dame.....to play for France. Joking aside, this team hasn't been impressive and Dame is supposed to be one of the leaders.
He'd have to come off the bench behind Fournier. Plus side: maybe other teams will stop trying to trade for him.
I'm pretty convinced that the poor showing so far is because the U.S. didn't seriously consider Becky Hammon for the head job.
Seems like no one wants to be the alpha dog on this team. They need someone like MJ, Lebron, someone who no matter what is going to go out there and try to dominate. This team seems like most are worried about stepping on others toes. Dame needs to take charge and take shots, not worry so much about getting everyone else involved all the time.
