Jim

fournier and augustin are both buckets but no one knows they exist because they play on the magic. not surprised by this outcome, the us deserved to lose. great video alch

Ezra Abbey

Haha ... true true!

It was clearly not as important to most of them. Thank you for the sample.. still playing with the graphic concept.

Athletic Alchemy

Nice production, nice commentary, nice length. Just the right balance all around. As usual. Now, I do of course want the US team to win, because that holds my interest and enhances my learning. But I think the US loss is good for world basketball. And good for the US too, which too often takes winning for granted. In this game, where was the zip, the thirst, the hunger, the lust? Just not apparent. Which you, too, noticed, as per your remark that the players seemed to want to return home. Also, now I not only understand, I also SEE why the Warriors let Harrison Barnes go. He's better than he was, but he could be a lot better still -- he just lacks the will. Anyway, thanks for another enjoyable and edifying video.

OK Alch - I seem to recall someone pimping on poor ol' Ru-Dee last season for being too soft. Well, while I will acknowledge that his poot-backs in this game weren't exactly rim rockers, but he did KICK OUR ASS in this game! Spot on the coaching critique and Kembra's playoff future. OUT

Dan Doerge

He takes much more after Pop than Phil doesn’t he...

Athletic Alchemy

This is my main issue with Kerr's coaching, like Pop, they both are stubborn in their rotations.

John Z

Not enough shooters! I really like Mitch, his character and mentality stands out amongst his peers.

Athletic Alchemy

I didn't realize Thon was Australian! I really like Exum, but at this point looks like he is never gonna be healthy. My money is on yall to win it all.

Athletic Alchemy

Had a feeling this would be the end result. That said, S/O to Mitchell for at least trying to show some pride in this game.

William Mitchell

LOL... "Att Boston fans this is what you will see in the playoffs with Kemba" made me smile. Being from Sydney im hoping we beat the spanish tonight, going to be tough, would prefer to have Simmons, Maker and Exum in the squad but so be it. Mills has been on fire, would be a handy back up to Curry.

Luke Smith

We have seen Gobert get taken out of countless playoff series.....IDK I got a theory I'm get off in a pod here soon.

Athletic Alchemy

Not too sure why Miles Turner wasnt given a little more time at the end to counter Gobert. I mean maybe they dont match up well but Gobert was singlehandedly destroying the US on both sides of the court. I dont feel any type of way for the FIBA tournament. It wouldve been nice to still have more games to watch (I think they have like one consolation game right?), but its not as important to me as the olympics. The US got served right. Too many mistakes and not taking advantage of their opportunities. And the lack of talent/playmaking really was exposed here. If youre only counter to a 7footer dominating you is to go at him with your althetic PG......well then youre gonna have a bad time.
