Terrible officiating in the first half of this France game IMO but also sluggish play. The US needs to get a transition game going if they want to put teams out of their misery in 10 minutes. Lebron getting a lot of playing time

I don't think the officiating was that bad. Game was boring for the most part. A few nice lobs and dunks, I think one of the more impressive plays was LeBron's ridiculously long bounce pass to Durant on a fast break.

Well everyone knows they cannot win a track meet with this team so they'll slow it down as much as possible. I don't wanna know what this team is gonna do to Lithuania, Tunisia and Nigeria thoughFly4Fun;1236405 wrote:I don't think the officiating was that bad. Game was boring for the most part.

Not sure why you would say they cannot win a track meet? This team has some of the best fast break finishers, probably the most athletic and also a relatively small line up.Classyposter58;1236407 wrote:Well everyone knows they cannot win a track meet with this team so they'll slow it down as much as possible.

Or is there something I'm missing?

Yes, that makes much more sense! I don't think France really had a shot though as they really don't have much of an inside presence either. France is pretty much a less talented version of USA.Classyposter58;1236410 wrote:I'm saying opponents cannot win a track meet with them lol

Yeah. The only team that has a minimal shot is Spain because of their outstanding scorers and big men. The US won't be able to drive all day on themFly4Fun;1236412 wrote:Yes, that makes much more sense!

We'll come back and blow them out but early on the US trails Tunisia 3-2.
The US is favored by 55 points.

James and Bryant combine for 9 points, and we still win by 47--crazy deep.

The thing with this team is they really don't give a fuck who scores. I know we always hear that about Team USA. But this team really doesn't care.
