Now I understand that Middleton, Holiday, and Booker have not yet joined the squad due to the NBA finals going on, but I still have no idea how this team managed to lose games.
Now the competition has been filled with great professionals such as Achiuwa for Nigeria or Patty Mills on Australia, but the fact that team USA is playing with no less than one top 10 player in the league on the floor at a time should be translating to much more convincing performances.
The USA were approximately 29 point favorites over Nigeria and they were 15 point favorites over Australia. They lost BOTH of these games...
I really hope that when the three players join the team they will change the outcomes of the games, because I can't handle team USA getting knocked out of the Olympics early this year.
Let's hope for a change. This was awful
