Canada is probably one good center away to give USA some fits. Their center rotation Olynik, Powe and Birch work hard, but they dont scare anybody. Definitely not Aussie center Landale who feasted on them.
I read this before last year, and i have to agree: Dillion Brooks is a perfect FIBA player: Sets screen, defends, uses his fouls wisely and let the other player feels the foul, and hits the open jumper.
Canada will be much better with Clarke, Sharpe and Boucher. Too bad these 3 guys are missing, not to mention Wiggins. Could compete for Gold if they go full strength.
Jamal = Pang NBA lang.

Why Spain did not just spend their timeout after SGA's 2nd FT so they can inbound the ball on their own court? Kinda weird decision to have a hail merry shot.

Spain is out already... Spain's daddy right now is Canada.. last year's World cup also Canada booted them out... I'm sure their FIBA rankings will go down.. Germany, Serbia or Canada will likely take 2nd ranked team after Olympics or whoever team will upset USA will take the top rank team in FIBA rankings

Sleepy Eyed RJ Barrett is feasting more thatn Murray. But Murray also played good in previous games. Their Big 4 ( SGA, RJ, Murray and Brooks) is solid. It's the center position that's iffy, and Dort is the perfect 6th as he could sub SGA, RJ, Murray or Brooks, and shutdown the other team's best perimeter scorer

they gambled on icing SGA by substituting players and calling a timeout before SGA freethrows. bad decision by Scariolo.

Because SGA might deliberately miss the 2nd free throw.. so they use it already...

Then you got an upcoming NBA player Zach Edey whom you can use against physical stronger opponents in downlow. To think that Wiggins could have been on this team if not on GSW selfishness lol.

Nembhard was the magic bunot for tonight. Finally playing to his NBA standards. Hope Jamal can still contribute.

Zach Edey after 3 years of development in the NBA will address this issue at the 5 position. they will give Team USA some huge problems especially if they can't regularly send Avengers-type lineups while the Canadian NBA players stay committed every tournament.

Or like other NBA players who struggling in FIBA rules, Murray also having hard time adjusting to FIBA rules... Even Curry struggling in FIBA setting... That's why Luka, Giannis and Jokic statement about the difference between NBA and FIBA rules is all true...

That sucks, as in.
If SGA missed that free throw they will need to fight for the rebound that will definitely takes time on the clock. You just want Shai to make that free throw for sure. Icing him should be the last thing you want. Hell, It would even be understandable if SGA intentionally missed it so the clock runs down.

And within the 4 years span, they got some 5-star players coming to the USNCAA or overseas. I feel like if there is a team who can matchup USA lineup with just NBA names, it is them.

I'm sure if Spain didn't called time out, Coach Fernandez will tell SGA to deliberately miss the 2nd one... That's how coaching tactics very important in those crucial situation... Nothing wrong with coach Scarliolo time out.. he knew it already... Remember Taiwan and Ateneo 2018 Jones cup? Ray Chen didn't command their coach to missed his 2nd free throw.. resulting to Ateneo can use the time out and set a play and resulting for the win for Ateneo... That's how good coaching result to great results ...

FIBA showing us it's the Nuggets effect.
Murray not as effective now because he doesn't have Jokic type player in ball screen situations or inverted ball screen situations.
The same is happening with Jokic in Serbia right now. He looks good but doesn't look great. He doesn't have the help of big guys MPJ and Aaron Gordon both on offense and defense.
Just goes to show how more important it is for pieces to fit than expecting a superstar carry your team.
I won't be surprised if Westbrook revives his career with the Nuggets by how well he fits with their style of play.
