Bro needs to learn to pass, think he had 20 shots before 1 assist
He’s him
can’t win with these cats
But I thought Nba champions means world champions?
Ant and inshallah tactics don’t work today
US has a much better chance of winning if he passes the fucking ball more often
“Lithuania won’t be an issue” 🤡
The next step for him is making his teammates better, his playmaking needs to improve.
His defense was as impressive as his offense. The DWade comps look more accurate by the day
Which makes it even better. And yall are overreaching asf watch USA gets another medal soon

I thought Anthony Edwards isn’t worried about Lithuania
Lithuania was much better than I thought
Also Kerr is an idiot, play Haliburton.
Nephews on here: “not good enough. He didn’t pass to my favorite player. But he turns it over too much when he passes. He needs to Stop pas- no wait he needs to pass the b- no wait shoo- no wait pass.”
Will Paolo play against Italy?
This is what happens when you pickup bums like Austin reeves over actual talent like Trae young
Looked and played like the only player who cared
I get that Edward’s had a good game, but is there a reason the game plan is to have him shoot more field goals (26) than every other starter combined (22)
Kerr can only coach the warriors
Where is Larry bird …?
I mean Reaves … atleast Ant can defend even if he bricks.
Slow start killed them
Edwards needs to demand a trade. These other USA guys ain’t ready for prime time.
He shot over 50%, he defended like a madman, but when you get out rebounded 46 to 25 there’s no fucking chance you’ll win shit.
Lithuania was 8/8 from three at one point. They were hotter than piss today
No top post about Austin Reaves not doing shit then?
Imagine getting made at Noah lyles then coming right out and losing.
Man it sucks that watching Team USA means people hate on players and pit players against each other
Can we not just appreciate a good defensive and efficient performance?
Lmaaaao people acting like “its no big deal”
This is a 3rd rate team but even it has prime time players, 12 of them
These guys dont know what representing team USA means. Yiu gotta do better. The world is better now but you cant be letting no euro scrubs beat you. Prime Argentina beats you, ok, Manu is there, no problem.
But Lithuania??
By which argument is this team better than the 2002 or 2004 teams which were ridiculed.
Dont act like its no big deal…. it is
The DWade comps look more accurate by the day.
I’m actually kind of glad that they took this loss. They still advance to the next round and now they know they can’t sleep walk through the tournament. This may end up being a positive circumstance in the end.
Kerr doesn’t look so good when he doesn’t have Steph to bail him out.
No Tatum, Lebron, KD, Curry, Book, AD, Kawhi, PG, Trae, Dame, Harden, Ja. No disrespect to Austin Reeves, but he shouldn’t even be on team USA.
Would be a lot more entertaining if the actual best American players participated
Q
35 points is great but what happened to the pass first style of play we expected with steve Kerr? Seems like we gave up on trying to play the international game and just play iso ball with ant most possessions. I get he’s a scorer but it’d be cool to see him get his teammates involved
I love the inevitable meltdowns/overreactions when USA drops a game
