    I’ve never been so unimpressed with so called stars in Tatum and Bam. They look so out of place here.

    typical Spurs fans... USA lose, Pop is done USA win, but but Durant, Argentina wins against USA but but FIBA rules... smh
    I am consistent in my belief Pop is an average level at best coach these days who in past also cost Spurs a le benching Duncan at end and has not developed Spurs young talent. If he wins Gold it is only due to fact he has by far best the talent but if game close he may we’ll screw it up

    Only because he is riding a hot Durant. No signs of great coaching. He wins gold give him credit but don't overly credit it to him - they were and are still heavily favored.
    Popovich is so hated by some on here that he could out dollar bills for some of people around here and would still be wronging people.

    Man that was some block by Batum. Now to beat France. The US team is not off the woods yet. This team so far poses the best threat with their bigs. McGee needs to know how to stick with his guy and not get caught in a switch.

    Happy also for France. I don’t like Doncic with his arrogance, but might just beat Patty and company for the bronze.

    That's what superstars do... And it's not as if he's making bad shots or not playing defense. KD was the best player on the court.
    ballhogs miss most of their shots and continue to shoot anyways at the detriment of their team. KD put the team on his back and was on fire and had some good defensive stops. Give him his credit.
    similar arguments could have been made for lamarcus on the spurs

    Pop pretty much telling all the haters to off at this point.
    Oh really? Unless Durant got hot in the third, Aussie was cruising to a victory.

    i also think that there's a faction of posters who hate on pop because his political views don't mesh with their own red, white and blue hypocrisies. they just use basketball as a front for their antipathy.

    KD was great, he was playing the hardest out there, playing defense, blocking shots. But you have to give some to Pop. They were playing TEAM basketball. Look at the switches, the ball movement, even KD’s shots were not just ISO’s. And that in 2 weeks of preparation. Stop the hate, and give Pop his credit. No other USA Men’s Basketball practiced as hard. Again watching For Ball and Country, the underlying theme before was, “bring your ego with you.” Because with ALL the great players, Kobe, Carmelo, LeBron, CP3, Wade. It was easy to just let them loose and dominate. This year, with just KD as the only true 1st Tier Superstar, it’s crucial to play TEAM. 2 weeks? And 6 days before, Pop only had 7 players in his roster. Going against NBA players who’s been playing together longer. Give the credit where it’s due.

    The Aussies just had one really bad quarter and it cost them dearly. They also needed Patty to play better but he doesn't have it in him anymore.
    aussies had one really good quarter and thats it

    You don't win on just offense. Did you see how they covered Patty? Switching like he was Curry out there?

    Aus got whatever they wanted early... for the whole first quarter and half the second quarter. Patty was getting penetration against everybody they threw at him early. But yeah they clamped down near the end of the first half and the rest of the game

    meh, it's a wash, if they win in 13 they aren't winning in 14. I doubt they remake the offense the way they did that season if they were the champs

    Pop's a great coach but it's a lot of things. One he's a grumpy old man now and all that implies. Two, if anything maybe he's not as hungry to win as he used to be. But I don't think that applies to the effort he gives coaching, I'm sure he does what he can do. But I also think other coaches have probably evolved as well over the years. But if Pop had the great Spurs teams right now that he's had in the past I don't doubt that he could still make them look like all world teams.
