Why do players look like stars in the NBA but suck ass in international play?

NateB -- Almost every time you make a comment you make yourself look more and more silly -- just stop -- PLEASE -- thx and have a good evening

Might I remind you of the stupid comment you made about trading Dame to get pieces to win a ring the other day -- that comment in itself disqualified you from having a credible opinion -- ROFL

Thanks random dude on the internet!

refs call the game differently, the game is played different internationally, and the NBA is about individual vs team.

The USA really need step up and play some

What in the world was Tatum doing his guy cut to the basket right by him and he doesn’t even react, giving up a easy basket.

Tatum don't play any D and his offense more less a know show.

Weak ass shit. USA should withdraw from Tokyo. Terrible.

Dame needs to stop being modest and shoot

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Man, that Popovich is a great coach....

 

[Chris Craig]

Draymond telling Dame too...he needs to shoot that shit

 

[Chris Craig]

Man, that Popovich is a great coach....

He's slippin

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Lillard very much appears to be the best player on either team.

and they go away from him in the 4th.

He kept passing the ball

Because there not use to playing team basketball. Plus I think what there having trouble with size of the court. The much smaller and where there use getting space there not getting that so far. But this team is not great passing team either most of these are iso type players.

Want Dame to get a gold medal...don't see it though.

That last shot was a good pass. But three other fuckers didn’t want to shoot and they turned it over.

Thanks for the game lads, better luck next time.

Not enough time to gel offensively, which forces team USA to employ a simplistic iso heavy offense.

It’s their shit defense and rebounding though.

Simply not enough firepower on this team.

 

[Natebishop3]

Overall this is probably one of the least talented teams I have seen from USA basketball.

They got along ways go there's playing team that plays together a lot. Tomorrow is another game to get better.

 

[illmatic99]

problem is defense

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Australia is always a medal contender, but Nigeria? Are you friggin' kidding?

Nigeria has a lot of NBA players now. And an NBA coach. I wouldn’t be surprised if they sneak onto the podium.

 

[Natebishop3]

problem is defense

And guys being too passive. But I don’t know what’s going on with Beal.

 

[AldoTrapani]

So Any team dame touches they lose? Fuck lol

 

[Blazerreynolds]

Been saying this....and getting stanned for it...

My big concern with Dame is can he play with other superstars, being efficient while not jacking up shots. So far, the answer is no......And he aint even playing NBA players.....

They have not been scoring well, pretty low. They have no rhythm and look confused on offense.

Saying that, they still wins gold, cause they are the usa.
