Coach Pop Named USA Men's Basketball Head Coach for 2017-2020

[Larry O]

WOW! Clutch Patty Mills is carrying the Aussies, and with 42 seconds left, they are up on the USA by three points, 97 to 94. Thriller finish incoming!

[Larry O]

SPOILER ALERT: Mitc just fouled out and Mills just hit clutch free throws to ice the game and beat the USA team in 13 years... under Pop's watch... Final score: 98-94. Let the conversations begin...

[jbspurs]

Wake up call for Team USA

[Degoat]

Team USA looked so bad tonight lol

Can't win without Duncan

Panic? Well, it's just an exhibition game, but with a new, young FIBA group of guys who have just been assembled together for the games, and are learning a new system and building chemistry in a short time, compared to the Aussies, who have been playing together for a number of years. The Aussies! They were acting like they won Gold in China! It was an EXHIBITION GAME! Oh well... moving on to face Canadians on Monday at 4:30 am, central time zone, in Sidney Aus. on NBA TV. Should be a good bounce back win for the Yanks.

Why can't Fatty play this well for the Spurs? Instead we get his lovely 3/13, 6 point nights. smh.

[benfti]

It’s because every Australian appreciates Patty, not every spurs fan does

[cjw]

CIA Pop just trying to increase Patty’s trade value

This is an epic moment for Aus basketball, just like if USA beat Brazil in Soccer, it would be a great achievement. So they deserve to celebrate.

Patty going to be able to eat free at Outback for the rest of his life.

I did not watch the game but I would guess it is because Wombat played 2 guard (his natural position) and not the point.

[superbigtime]

Appalling. WTF losing to Patty.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

lets face it the usa roster is not exactly super talented

[Dverde]

and you can’t slurp without Nephew’s dong in your face

[Nathan89]

Must be contract year down under tbh

[Mr. Body]

This USA team is pretty bad. It seems whenever a Spur player/coach is involved, the team just has crap players.

[GusT15]

DW made the WC team.

[Degoat]

So kuzma got cut?? Lol

[Genovaswitness]

wow awesome performance by the greatest coach ever did he kneel before the anthem

[BatManu20]

D-White made the squad

[Degoat]

Not that he wanted to lose but I think pop was okay with it, he really experimented with different lineups in this game, wanted to see what he’d have

[ace3g]

[MultiTroll]

Have any other coaches been able to stop Patty?
