2024-07-12 06:25:02 +0000 UTCWith KD out, Kawhi no longer with the team and Derrick White just joining the team as Kawhi's replacement, team USA needed some bodies just for this game. I don't expect them to travel with the team. As for the 3 extra players who got into the game late: #16 is Micah Potter, who plays for the Jazz on a 2-way contract. #17 is Langston Galloway, who spent training camp with the Dubs in 2021. Last played in the NBA in 21-22 with MIL and is currently playing in Lithuania. #18 is Nigel Hayes-Davis. Only played 1 year in the NBA in 17-18 with LAL, TOR, & SAC and has been overseas ever since playing for a few EuroLeague teams. Fun fact about him: in a game this past season with Turkish team Fenerbahçe, he broke the EuroLeague record for most points in a game with 50 points. Doesn't sound like a lot compared to today's NBA, but considering his team averaged only 84.1 last season, it's pretty impressive.

2024-07-11 23:53:12 +0000 UTCnot a bad idea considering the two glass men at center

2024-07-11 23:33:44 +0000 UTCshits look craaaazy I had no idea.. he was built so solid and played on the ground id never imagined
Athletic Alchemy
2024-07-11 23:32:56 +0000 UTCgot to go AD over Joel imo.. but there is egos stoking involved no doubt.. hell Bron shouldnt start if we talking pure basketball
Athletic Alchemy
2024-07-11 23:32:09 +0000 UTClol nah I dont think he is that squatty
Athletic Alchemy
2024-07-11 23:30:04 +0000 UTCIm always nervous about Steph lol.. but yeah I cant front JT looks like he has an extra swagger too him
Athletic Alchemy
2024-07-11 23:29:44 +0000 UTCI think its the right mix, the gap between the young guys and OGs is so big age wise there isnt going to be an internal battle
Athletic Alchemy
2024-07-11 23:28:51 +0000 UTCYeah Canada didn't look as good as I thought they would
Athletic Alchemy
2024-07-11 23:27:42 +0000 UTCIDK they had some guys like Langston Galloway and others who are on the practice squad in uni
Athletic Alchemy
2024-07-11 23:26:57 +0000 UTCReplaced Derrick White with paolo banchero
Marco Doby
2024-07-11 23:22:45 +0000 UTCHe did it in the FIBA as well and cost them a medal; he's incorrigible.
Mike Peterson
2024-07-11 23:13:19 +0000 UTCWow, feel terrible for Tim Hardaway. Dude needs a knee replacement! Same for Kenny.

2024-07-11 23:11:35 +0000 UTCKerr relying on small ball even in the olympics is crazy. I thought starting would be Steph, Tatum, KD or Bron, AD, Embiid.

2024-07-11 22:29:25 +0000 UTCYo I had to double take if that was actually Kawakami 😂 it’s not right? 😂😭

2024-07-11 22:19:22 +0000 UTCMaaaaaan Alc this LeBron/steph shit is pretty damn fun. But I also can't think of anything more telling of them coming to grips with their own mortality than their excitement to show out together on this kind of stacked deck stage? I'm cautious of Steph's motor during this upcoming season tbh. Tatum looking like he might become 1A alpha dog of the league/world real, real soon. He got something to prove still
yan't get right
2024-07-11 21:30:20 +0000 UTCKeep it simple and play defense. If this squad can maintain that philosophy, they should walk away with the gold. In terms of comparing the different Olympic squads throughout history, one thing that cannot be debated is the level of international competition. The international teams are way better now than they ever were 10, 15, 20 years ago.

2024-07-11 21:25:56 +0000 UTCI appreciate you trying to get both breakdowns in today Alc. Thanks for today's breakdown and I'm looking forward the Dubs SL breakdown tomorrow. As for Team USA, like LeBron said they played like a team that just met 4 days ago, but overall a mixed bag offensively and defensively with Embiid standing out as the worst performer. Their next 2 exhibition games are against Australia and Serbia in Abu Dhabi and it will be interesting to see how they defend other teams that have better chemistry and shooting than Canada.
