    Popovic seems to be a terrible international coach.

    I don't think that's it...Popovic has been disappointing since taking over. The team never looks motivated under him. I don't care what the rules are, you have Durant and Tatum on your team...no business losing.

    Was a fairly even game. Lost by 3. Sounded like Nigerian team was more physical.

    He's 30, I'm not buying that he's too old. We see on many national teams guys who are in their late 30's playing major roles.

    Now, perhaps he sucks from the injuries? Or is injured, or just wasn't available or interested for whatever reasons.

    Is kissing your opponent to stop them considered a foul or maybe illegal defense in international play?

    Team USA didn't fall for a scam. They just lost. Maybe Trump supporters can rally around Team USA in the same capacity they can claim Nigeria stole the win! USA won!!!

    You should make a thread about this in the D&D and go back and forth with someone for half an hour about it
