[apalisoc_9]

Lottery

[Spurtacular]

Pity Post.

OP is a faggot

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

OP has probably had this post saved on his browser since the beginning of the World Cup, just waiting for a USA loss.


This US team is not really built correctly for international play. The Spurs roster would have fared far better than this group. They actually did better than I expected them to, although I did expect them to beat France.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pop had Kemba Walker, Donovan Mitchell and Kris Middleton and couldn't win with them?

[apalisoc_9]

couldnt gameplan againat Evan Forunier and Frank ntilikina

im not saying he's a faggot, but he probably enjoys the sexual company of men

Indeed. But why couldn't Myles Turner handle Gobert? That is the question. Gobert is an average at best offensive player. Obviously a good Defender, and good rebounder. Nobody on Team USA could handle him. If Team USA had one competent big man, this probably would have been gold. I don't see this loss as being Pop's fault. It's more an idictment of how overrated Turner is.
Let's not pretend like Middleton isn't horribly overrated either. It's comical the contract he was just handed. Giannis is screwed if that is the Bucks number 2 option. Expect him to demand a trade within 2 years.

Pop with an NBA all-star/high level players losing to a Frank Nitlkina carrying team, what a disgrace, Knicks fans don't know who's laughing at them!

[FkLA]

Pop will always be the GOAT, tbh.

Without Duncan Pop is a fart in the wind

This was a 3rd tier US team, and I'm being generous. Very average talent and some players just shouldn't have been there at all.

[tbdog]

That trio wouldn't make the west playoffs.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Phil Jackson, Jerry Sloan, Red Auerbach. Name an NBA coach who has a dominant record without at least one of those kinds of players. Hell, where would Steve Kerr have been without his super-team?

Sorry, but OP's little factoid is about as meaningless as he is. Almost as meaningless as offseason FIBA competitions.

[DMC]

That trio wouldn't make the west playoffs.

Then they could have played 6 years as starters on the Lakers.

[jjktkk]

OP and her alts are faggots.

[Arcadian]

I mean, he still won 47 and 48 games the last two seasons. Not bad at all. And this year should be an improvement.

Pop had 8 NBA starters in his roster. 8!

How many does France have? 1.
Australia? 1.
Serbia? 1.
Spain? 2.

Are you serious or fooling yourself? Even Derrick White who all here flying over him calling him second best player on the team, he is like the USA 12th guy on the roster and would be die to have by every other team in this tournament, Pop had a dream team of a roster compare to all other teams, stop sucking him hard!

and ?

Euro players are playing together for years, they know fiba rules... US roster would be good enough if they had time to get used to rules and time to gel.. sending a C team and expecting the only overall talent will make the difference don't and won't work anymore

you are an absolute dumbass if you believe main reason US lost is pop

[Brazil]

IF Kawhi was on this Team USA they would have no problem winning Gold

Same with AD or KD.. :lol If

[Play Boban]

Poop didn’t have a MVP caliber player in 2014 tbh.

If I had two johnnies I’d have no problem doing two at the same time.

I didn't say this. I simply stated that this roster is still nowhere as weak as some of you act like.

[TheGreatYacht]

Thank god Kawhi had enough of carrying the white mediocre man to NBA rings and plays for an elite head coach now.

I don't know why you think NBA players is the be all. We've been :lol'ing at Today's NBA all the time.

[Arcadian]

Not even close, dumbass. I think Pop is somewhat overrated. Yet, I also think it's ridiculous to claim he's as bad as the OP suggests. Of the posts you quoted, mine doesn't even fit with the rest. All I said was "48 wins [without a superstar] isn't bad." :lol But your approach was just, "Durrrrrr, anyone who defends Pop even the slightest is a Pop sucker! Dur!" With such a dichotomous view of things, you can't appreciate a more nuanced opinion.

Again: 3rd or 4th tier team. Being NBA starters doesn't mean shit or being talented.

Here are some players who were NBA starters: Thabeet, Kwame Brown, Okafor

Sadly, it's clear if the US would really want to win another FIBA championship that they will need to send an A or A/B team. I'm expecting any US team to destroy teams by 40-50 pts such as Argentina, Serbia and others were doing this championship. Sadly this team wasn't doing any of that and some of the games they won were actually very close. You could see there wasn't enough "talent" to go around

So go ahead and blame Pop for all of that

hahahha a dream team
jesus even Patty Mills was better than that whole lot

[Yogatti]

Same with AD or KD.. :lol If

AD? The guy who's been in this league for 7 years and only made the playoffs twice?

KD? The guy who had to join a 73 win team to win championships and still being a emotional bitch about it the entire time?

[SupremeGuy]

Shit. You give Luke Walton our 2000s team and we might end up with one more.

[Brazil]

AD? The guy who's been in this league for 7 years and only made the playoffs twice?

KD? The guy who had to join a 73 win team to win championships and still being a emotional bitch about it the entire time?

yeah those 2, any one of them in this team and US wins.. no need for freaking Kiwi emotional bitch :cry Spurs have been mean to me :cry I cannot play back to back :cry quiter pos

BTW you look like a tool after this loss bro... :lol euro scrubs
