its the players fault they lost
Pop only has 10 all stars while Nigeria had the great Chimezu Metu
its only a friendly
They're already making excuses in the other thread.

Coach K lost 1 game as Team USA's coach. Poop has 4 already
Seems problematic. USA winning the gold is not guaranteed by any means with the Crypt Keeper leading the way.
In fairness, Coach K had way better teams. The team headed to Japan is not as talented as the ones Coach K had. And the ones Pop had two years ago were easily the least talented team since the US started sending pros.
Against Chimezie Metu and Mike Brown’s Nigeria though? While you have Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum, Bradley Beal, and Bam Adebayo?
I’ve seen better ball movement coming from Scott Brooks’ teams. No excuse whatsoever for that atrocity we saw last night. Also that late game play call vintage Poop
In fairness to me, I didn't see that the US had lost to Nigeria until now. Yes, there is no defending that.
That was Lloyd pierce play. Pop has a fault for allowing it. But that's not his drawn play
ing pop. you just knew this was gonna happen
not surprising at all. Went as I expected
13-5
Losing to the wombat
Worst coach in the world
Ok so Australia is a very good team with a lot of NBA talent. But yes, you'd think after losing to Nigeria, they would have taken this one personal to send a message. Maybe they just aren't very good. And maybe there is no official leader on this team. There is no one that has taken on the responsibility of being the team leader.
It's just a game. This is a wake up call for the guys. There needs to be more compe iveness. - Gregg the coach pop popovich
Pop been outcoached by Mike ing Brown and a random Australian dude
Is Becky even around to change his diapers
this huge embarrassing failure tells me more about dominoes than popasnitch tbh
Just wondering but why is there even exhibition games anymore? We should really go back to sending college kids tbh. Pay them like 20k each in sponsoring and 50k if they win gold. Cheaper and really necessary at this point as the pros no longer give a about they Olympics
Cannot be happier despise Pop these days as he is a s of the coach he used to be and so full of himself
Love Pop, but simultaneously hate for him to come back for another year. I’d also hate to see his reputation get dragged through the mud, but this will get interesting.
what's the venn diagram for
1) people who say coaching at the nba level doesn't matter because the players are so good
2) people who say pops is washed up and needs to go
3) people who say team usa is losing because of pops' coaching
Some dudes just don't know when It's time to walk away , even when the writing on the wall has been their for awhile now. Just look at Don Nelson , Phil Jackson and to an extent Jerry Sloan. as an example where they tarnished their career at the end.
Pop is getting outcoached by even scrub coaches these days and I really hope Pop doesn't come back.
Team USA being beat in exhibition games by two teams full of NBA players is not an embarrassment. I'm sure Nigeria and Australia will both have deep runs in the Olympics. This is not Angola in 1992. These rosters would give '92 dream team trouble.

Don't forget that a bunch of college players beat the '92 dream team during exhibitions.
