How will this team do?
>watching NBA Olympics hype commercial
>first name they say is Harrison Barnes
kek'd pretty hard
>>69404836
Terribly, they'll only win every game by 10 instead of 20.
>>69404836
>have American blacks
>other teams don't
Gee OP, I wonder.
why isn't paul george smiling
and melo too sort of
>>69404903
Real niggas don't smile in pictures
2004
>lebron
>duncan
>iverson
>carmelo
and they still lost to argentina
this will be a nightmare
>>69404875
Pretty much, the past two gold have been pretty cake walks. The players are pretty much in offseasom mode and just chillin, the Olympics are like a pickup game.
>Cousins
>Barnes
W-H-Y
Any guesses for the starting five?
>>69404938
lebron & carmelo were rookies
and that team didn't give a fuck
US basketball is prepared
>>69404875
>>69404889
>being this young
how the hell did harrison barnes get in the team
>>69404938
That team lost because it had too many superstars.
Iverson iso-ball doesn't work when the rest of the isn't a bunch of literal whos
>>69404968
Irving, Thompson, Anthony, Durant, Cousins?
Note international basketball is different so what works on the NBA won't necessarily work here
>>69405033
I doubt they're gonna start anybody over Green. Not because he's that good, but because they think he's that good
>no whites
this is racist and problematic
>>69405084
Experience plus scoring puts Anthony and Durant over Green
Remember the arc is closer in
>>69405131
>no whites
Klay thompson is squinting his eyes in his picture because he can see his own white ass reflection
>>69405223
>>69405263
Take another look at klay and tell me he's not white
>>69404987
>he thinks this team will win gold
lmao, who hyped for bronze again
>>69404983
This team is still way better than 2004. They had fucking Carlos Boozer and Stephon Marbury.
Just get the ball to Jimmy & KD & get the fuck out the way.
Gold!
>>69404836
>no lebron
>no wade
>kobe retired
unless Anthony and Durant play like mj a win isn't guaranteed
>>69405214
>the arc is closer in
lmao, seriously? Just pass the ball to Thompson every time and watch him get 40 points per game
Not sure. Let's wait to see if they don't get killed by police first.
Lose to Spain in the finals
>klay not playing for the bahamas
>>69405347
He's not
>>69408508
Not that much
Like halfway between college and NBA
But having a strong outside shooting game is important
Part of the reason the US struggled in 02 and 04 was the bad shooting
Despite absolute memes like DeFrozen, Lowry and Barnes you'll still walk it. Not even debatable
Spain really might win if Statpad Cousins is the only center the US has.
The Gasol brothers care more about this tournament than anything else. They know it's their best chance to finally get a gold medal.
>>69408805
>Klay and Buddy playing for Bahamas
>all those fucking 3s
they wouldn't medal but they would go down guns blazing
>>69409989
I wouldn't mind seeing Spain win just to end the stupid fucking Cousins meme once and for all
>>69409908
Lowry is actually pretty good, and great when his shot is falling. It's DeFrozen's insistance on going 8-27 every game that makes him look bad.
>>69410077
>Choosing personal interests over America
Get out you freedom hater
