Bogut, Patty Mills, Ingles and Delli giving USA a fight.    Getting chippy.....

Looks like Bogut has some left in the tank.   There has been some talk about them (Dallas)  making the playoffs.  I think they might make it if he an Dirk stay healthy.

KD was awful, doesn't look like he cares much about this game

Didn't catch the game, but that's an absurd outcome. No doubt just effort-related. You essentially have an NBA All-Star team beast mediocre NBA players by 10? If they played tomorrow, they'd probably win by 30.

Remember when USA Select (maybe another name for them back then?) beat the Dream Team in their first scrimmage? The following day, USA Select gottwhipped by 50+.

It wasn't effort related at all. FIBA is a different world, man. That's why USA has lost to smart and cohesive international teams in the past. If it weren't for Melo Australia would've won.

Watched 26 mins of highlights, US had absolutely no interest in defense -- it's an all star game. 80% lack of effort. Do you think, under any circumstances, that AUS can beat USA?  That'd be fascinating.

we'll see, usa and aus are group 1 and 2, they will not  meet each other again until final, when it really matters.

by the way, 10 points is not the true difference of this game, team USA was playing catch up half of the time, AUS is only 4 points behind when there's 2 minutes left, and USA starts to run the clock down, they made no attack in the last 2 minutes of the game, smart, but very hard to watch.

Zero defensive effort, lack of a leader (Melo? ouch), and iso-ball. And yet there's no chance they don't win Gold. So, tell Serbia I said "ball game, weirdos."

didn't watch the game, have they played even worse than vs AUS? from the stats, KD played the most minutes but didn't shoot that much.

I mean if Serbia left 5 of their 6 best players back in Europe you might be able to compare the two.
