BEING TAKEN TO OT BY ING TURKEY
where are all the d white fanboys
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
honestly though if pop can win with these garbage ass players it cements his GOAT status
Turkey missed 4 straight FTs to ice the game.
It was exactly the type of game the Americans feared. Their offense tightened up, their big men were outplayed and the opposition had no fear of them from the opening tip.
Walker, Mitc and Tatum were 8-of-32 shooting in regulation, a classic formula that will give this team issues because of its general lack of firepower.
With the game in the balance in the final minute of the fourth quarter, Gregg Popovich was so unsure of his big men that he took them all off the floor and left undersized Tatum and Middleton to play center. Ersan Ilyasova, a power forward in the NBA but taller than any American, made back-to-back baskets, including a putback.

Don’t forget, this guy took Duncan out of a game 6 finals clinching last minute play.
every team will run a zone against this team and dare them to hit the threes, which they did not, today.
Seems like pop is resorting to his Spurs ways of coaching by letting the enemy beat themselves...
Yeah, you can definitely recognize the "Spurs' System" with the way this team is playing. Don't know if that is good or bad. Hmmm... wonder if Pop could win a NBA chip with this FIBA roster if they were with the Spurs.![]()
Without Duncan Pop is dust in the wind
Example of racism? What race is Islam? Lmao
The A list NBA players will return for the Olympics. We've got a lot of scrubs out there. And we're getting brow beat with the international rules. The NBA is training today's players to be a bunch of pussies out there. Guys can't make a shot when someone touches them anymore.
oddly enough, tatum managed to draw a foul with his legs kicked out and that last second three point attempt.
If Tatum goes down with an ankle injury, this could spell trouble for the FIBA team. He, Walker & Mitc are the top scorers on this team. When Kuzma went home due to his ankle injury, I think, that took away another key scoring option. If Tatum doesn't play or come back, Jayen Brown will have to step up into the starting lineup & be that next scorer or perhaps it's Joe Harris or Khris Middleton to add to the scoring punch for this team. GO TEAM USA!!!
Eh...he kicked the leg out but Cedi still made hip-to-hip contact. That's a foul every day of the week.
