    Lebron's and Chris Paul's vision cant be understated...they get wing players better shots...They have no one that can do that...

    Klay thompson( espn and charles barkleys best 2 guard in the nba). has been a ghost in these olympics.. this guy is media hype. a glorified 3 point specialist, nothing more.

    lol draymon i knew i would be proven right, david andersen is schooling this guy. dmo would too if they called the fouls in the nba( pushes in the back that they are calling this game)


    did team usa think they bring the entire warriors team sans including their announcer ros gold onwude and they would beat any team in europe

    im pro team, but i hate the warriors cockiness.. ive never hated a team this much

    I love Harden...but him on this team wouldve had similar issues...Same with Curry.

    The Aussie bigs have been terrific. And their guards are fiesty. Andersen carried their bench... And they compete on defense.

    The USA team has to play better defense in order to win. I am serious. The Aussies played very well and deserve to win this game.

    Lebron James is probably the only guy that could really help that's not playing.

    Glad to see Chris Goulding get a run (from Melb United). Didn't get minutes against Serbia. This is one hell of a step up from the Aussie NBL! Good on him.

    Come on now! I Don't actively root against the USA in any sport! My hate for the Warriors is clouding my patriotism. I still want the USA to win! I just wouldn't be mad if the USA Basketball team lost, especially since they can still win the gold with one on the record.

    I'm disappointed in you...

    Probably? Most definitely the person who could help. Have him and they can play small ball right now and get him to orchestrate the offense and have shooters everywhere.

    not at all, harden played outstanding defense under thibs in fiba and in the 2012 olympics... harden basically has a european skillset. klay just like draymon are gimmicks made for the nba. fiba is real basketball

    Harden, Paul, Curry or LeBron would help. This team doesn't have one elite distributor.

    They have Lowry... But Harden would have lapses on defense against this Australian team. He would be spinning.

    Bogut trying to injure Kyrie Irving

    That Thib defense is garbage. Harden not on the team, so who will they blame? I bet they still blame Harden.

    Lowry isn't elite at anything.

    Houston should have done something or anything they could to acquire Bogut. I dare say that if Bogut remains healthy, him alone with the playmaking ability and blunt force trauma makes the Mavs a better a team.
