Reminder: Last chance to watch Team USA today!

[90sgoat]

Playing France right now.

Get in and watch your netball heroes before they go home tonight.

[Doranku]

Watching the ESPN2 stream. These announcers are dreadful. Golf level enthusiasm.

[90sgoat]

Gobert really improved his FT shooting.

[ImKobe]

Kemba's giving us a preview of the 2020 Playoffs.

[Doranku]

This game is over. Turner already has 4 fouls and he's the only one who can even bother Gobert.

As long as France keeps going inside, it's over for the USA.

[90sgoat]

I just realized Lebron had Joe Harris, but never even made an effort to develop him:facepalm

[Manny98]

Replace Kemba with Kyrie and US win this easily

[kNIOKAS]

Kemba's looking pretty awful tonight, wonder what he's been into last night

[AirTupac]

Boston Celtics look awful vs some NBA rejects + Gobert

[Doranku]

23 year old Mitchell straight carrying team USA. He's sooooooo overrated though, right ISH? :rolleyes:

[ImKobe]

23 year old Mitchell straight carrying team USA. He's sooooooo overrated though, right ISH? :rolleyes:

Lakers - Jazz in the WCF, calling it now.

[90sgoat]

Gobert getting mugged by Brown, but refs not calling it due to size difference.

[superduper]

I just realized Lebron had Joe Harris, but never even made an effort to develop him:facepalm

Bran has had some of the best 3pt shooters the NBA has to offer and some of them from their rookie seasons like Joe Harris, Danny Green, etc. He had those PLUS shooters like Ray Allen, Kyle Korver, JR Smith, etc.

Bran has had some of the best shooters on his teams that the history of the league has to offer.

And LMAO @ Bran developing anyone :oldlol:

[90sgoat]

23 year old Mitchell straight carrying team USA. He's sooooooo overrated though, right ISH? :rolleyes:

Played well.

Not a fancy player in FIBA terms at least, but yeah, steps up, plays well.

[ImKobe]

Barnes making a three in an elimination game? :kobe:

[Manny98]

2 easy

US out here dominating with their E team

[Doranku]

WTF is Kemba doing? Give the ball to Mitchell you idiot.

[AirTupac]

Danny Ainge did good getting Kemba for max :roll:

[Xiao Yao You]

Kemba's looking pretty awful tonight, wonder what he's been into last night

he's been ill I believe. Might have ate some kabobs off the street in China. That got me before! :cry:

[Manny98]

wtf happened i switched off because they were up by 8 now US is down by f*cking 4

[90sgoat]

Kemba is the most skilled on the team, but he isn't a floor general and that's always going to be his problem. He is a poor man's Kyrie Irving.

[stalkerforlife]

2 easy

US out here dominating with their E team

:roll:

[ImKobe]

leave it to bransexuals to jinx the game..

[Mask the Embiid]

Cant wait to watch Boston in the playoffs :roll:


Bucks in 4
Sixers in 3....(forfeit)


Kemba is caged hahahaha

[Bosnian Sajo]

Boston Celtics costing the USA a gold medal.


Kemba jacking up dumbass shots he can't hit, Smart of all people switching onto Gobert...

[AirTupac]

Imagine being a paid GM only to max out Hayward and Kemba and lose out on 12 1st round picks :lol


Where's "35th best player in the NBA" Tatum at?

[AirTupac]

Smart 0/4 FT. :lol

[Manny98]

Celtics :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[90sgoat]

You really got to wonder why Euro national teams make their "scrubs" play like stars in FIBA.

Could it be something with the suboptimal style of playground basketball in the NBA?

Pop's been playing "FIBA style" for years, getting the same kind of results from "scrubs" like we see here in FIBA.

[Manny98]

I've seen enough Gobert > EmChoke & Jokic :bowdown: :bowdown:

[90sgoat]

:confusedshrug:

Knows his role, plays his role, isn't arrogant.

[AirTupac]

Manny stop jynxing you stupid retard :facepalm

[Xiao Yao You]

:confusedshrug:

Knows his role, plays his role, isn't arrogant.

great at both ends of the floor

[Doranku]

Garbage ass Celtics players. **** off.

[Manny98]

Walker is a f*cking choker :roll: :roll: :roll:

[ImKobe]

[90sgoat]

He isn't "great" on offense, but he knows what he can do and what he can't.

But on defense.. WOW!

[Bosnian Sajo]

I hope Boston invested in a shooting coach....****ing idiots.

In the 4th quarter, Smart is 0/4 FT and Walker is 1/3 FT.

A combined 1/7 from the free throw line. A BIG **** you to the Boston Celtics.


AND JAYLEN BROWN MISSED A LAYUP.

[Xiao Yao You]

He isn't "great" on offense, but he knows what he can do and what he can't.

But on defense.. WOW!

actually he is. The Jazz offense is built around him as is France's if they are smart. You'll see it this year even more with Conley and Bojan keeping defenses honest and Ricky and Favors elsewhere

[90sgoat]

Yes, he looks much improved, but still lacking a shot and still not very good back to basket.

[Dr Hawk]

France had both the teamplay and individual accuracy today.

USA had the individual accuracy in the 3rd quarter coming from Mitchell. Did not have a glimpse of teamplay, as always. The whole 4th quarter consisted on Kemba grabbing the ball and going 1v5.

[Doranku]

Awful coaching from Pop tbh. Not going to Mitchell at all in the 4th, not playing Turner enough to match up with Gobert, playing Jaylen ****ing Brown in crunch time.

Not surprising this team loses in the quarterfinals though. We all knew they would be garbage.

I honestly don't know what Pop was thinking playing Plumlee, Lopez, and Turner a combined 15 minutes against France....Gobert feasted playing against no centers.

[AirTupac]

Worst September 11 in American history

[kentatm]

Can't even get an inbound pass in. :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[90sgoat]

Worst September 11 in American history

:lol

[Bosnian Sajo]

Worst September 11 in American history


Yo :oldlol:

[Xiao Yao You]

Yes, he looks much improved, but still lacking a shot and still not very good back to basket.

He set a record for dunks. Should top that this year easily. Best vertical spacer in the world.

[AirTupac]

Pop is a retard too. Overrated piece of poo.

Jaylen Brown is Team USAs best center

[90sgoat]

Euroleague is going to love this when he wakes up from his drunken midday stupor.

[Sakkreth]

As expected.

3 teams in the same group(France, Lithuania and Australia) would win vs USA.

[Xiao Yao You]

As expected.

Already beat Australia badly

[Wally450]

Oh no! we're going to suck now aren't we...

:rolleyes:

[Sakkreth]

In preparation games? :oldlol:

[Xiao Yao You]

In preparation games? :oldlol:

Australia supposedly had their biggest win ever in a preparation game :lol

[Sakkreth]

Australia supposedly had their biggest win ever in a preparation game :lol

Nah they won vs better teams than USA in this tournament. The hype was because they played at home. Stop being salty :oldlol:

[Xiao Yao You]

Nah they won vs better teams than USA in this tournament. The hype was because they played at home. Stop being salty :oldlol:

The hype was that they had never beat the USA

[Sakkreth]

The hype was that they had never beat the USA

USA is just worse than multiple teams in this tournament. Had rather a lucky drawing early on too. First actual competition and they lose. Should had lost vs Turkey too which isn't even a top 10 team.

[Xiao Yao You]

Only one team beat them.

[Sakkreth]

Only one team beat them.

Cause they played only one good team.

[Xiao Yao You]

Cause they played only one good team.

Serbia and Greece were supposedly better too. Where are they?

[Xiao Yao You]

Enjoy it while you can. The A team will be back next summer

[Sakkreth]

Serbia and Greece were supposedly better too. Where are they?

Only Serbia. Yeah they ****ed up.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Oh no! we're going to suck now aren't we...

:rolleyes:


Trust me man, you didn't need this game to prove that.



Your defense is shot. You have 0 low post defense, teams will abuse the Celtics this year. You'll still make the playoffs though, which is not bad at all...but any championship aspirations yall had are completely gone. All those picks, all that leverage...gone. Your team is stuck in mediocrity for the foreseeable future, when just 2-3 years ago I couldn't think of a team with a brighter future.

[Andrei89]

Worst September 11 in American history


Broo :lol :lol :lol

[Xiao Yao You]

Only Serbia. Yeah they ****ed up.

So now Greece isn't good. It was all about Greece and Serbia until they got beat multiple times

[r0drig0lac]

Worst September 11 in American history
cmon son

[Bosnian Sajo]

So now Greece isn't good. It was all about Greece and Serbia until they got beat multiple times


Everyone had France and Spain over Greece...and if you knew basketball, you yourself would have had them over Serbia as well. Bogdan Bogdanovic chucking the ball isn't going to get you anywhere.

[bigkingsfan]

Best of 7, we will get them next game.

[Xiao Yao You]

Everyone had France and Spain over Greece...and if you knew basketball, you yourself would have had them over Serbia as well. Bogdan Bogdanovic chucking the ball isn't going to get you anywhere.

No they didn't. Everyone was saying Giannis and Jokic would wipe the floor with the USA

I don't know basketball because I don't know teams I don't see? I'm not the one that think McGee, Cousins and Howard are good

[SamuraiSWISH]

Garbage ass roster of American players. **** them kids for ending the streak that much better players with better competitive spirits started since 2007. Absolutely pathetic.

[Wally450]

We'll see how things go. Best of luck this year man. :cheers:

You sure do comment on them a lot for not seeing them...


And I guess if everyone else was saying Giannis and Jokic were going to wipe the floor...I was one of the people who saw past that bullshit. Serbia was gunning through Bogdan for a while and that obviously was not going to last. imo, France was always our biggest competition in this tourny with Spain being the 2nd biggest. Serbia and Greece did not have me worried one bit. People were making threads about Serbia winning it all and saying it's a sure bet, I dared them to put up money against me that it wouldn't happen :confusedshrug: Right here on ISH.

[Bosnian Sajo]

You have to remember how Milwaukee built their team around Giannis. Greece simply does not have the quality of players to replicate that.
