All of the players genuinely seem to relish the opportunity and want to play for each other - they all seem to grow an extra 6 inches in international tournaments. They work hard and they play smart and to their strengths. So good to see. Unfortunately we will be in Pool Of Death in the Olympics. I know the US is a FAR more talented team and not suggesting they need to learn anything from the aussies but it’s a good wake-up call for them. The good teams won’t be intimidated - they will come at the US and rise to the occasion. US be ready.

I think the rotation strategy in the 1st half was brilliant from Kerr & Co. It’s better to keep the distinction between starters & bench so they can get more reps together.

Really never understood the hate for book. He’s chill, great scorer, fun to watch, and a very adequate defender if you actually watch him play. His shoe line is sick, cool dude and all the players respect him. Yeah he’s talked some trash to players but since when is that a bad thing. He’s loyal and a baller, I’ll never get the hate

[@ericlytle2209]

It’s he talks trash only if he’s sure he’s winning, and can give and not take. Also kinda just has a punchable face

[@BIGgamez78]

He gets the hate mostly because he plays for Phoenix and also I think because of his trash talking. When he was clowning Luka that angered all the Euro fans. Also he always kills the L.A. Teams in the postseason and L.A. has the biggest fanbase so there is a lot of fans in L.A. that hate him. The people that know basketball know he’s legit.

Friendlies are hard to judge. Our 4th place team in last year's World Cup was undefeated in friendlies, including beating Germany who then beat us when it counted. On the other hand our gold medal Olympic team from 2021 lost it's first two friendlies to Australia and...Nigeria! And then the Nigerian team was not able to win a single game in the Olympics, not even against a weak German team with no Schroeder or Franz Wagner.

I'm SOOOOO happy Jason T. & Jalen B. GOT A RIIIIIING!!

[@OfficialJalenSmith]

Sheesshhh chilll

[@nydibs]

In order to beat Germany in the friendlies they had to have a huge comeback and were carried by Anthony Edwards. They ended up losing to Germany by 2 points in the tournament so the friendlies were a good measure

[@kingmoreorless2810]

​@nydibs This team is the deepest roster ever the only true litmus test will be against Serbia on Wednesday.

[@gabepizza]

@@nydibs yeah you're right. the 8 points victory against Germany was really closer as they had to come back form like 15 as opposed to this 6 point victory against Australia as the US was up by 16 and then let down at the end

[@bobfole4781]

The ball movement for America is beautiful There is no selfishness at all & it makes their games flow beautifully

Bruhh imagine giddey and simmon playing together 😳🔥that duo would be crazy

[@regulardude2981]

Simmons and Giddey on the same court would be a disaster the other teams would clog up the paint knowing Simmons won’t shoot and Giddey poor shooting percentage.

Just wow, Australia. I was starting to lose hope at some point, thanks for comming back in this game, this is a huge step for basketbal as a sport

With such a strong squad, Australia truly played exceptionally well, forcing the USA to earn it in the end.

[@RT-xj3of]

It's truly amazing how far the international game has come since the dream team era. Like, you'd think this USA roster would be blowing teams out even with a 60 yr old LeBron and Habitually hurt AD, but these games are close. Just great basketball being played all around. Great to see

[@Jeronique]

Add to this note that these international teams are stocked with NBA players (former or present) and I’m sure that helps evens the playing field and adds the unstated to your observation

[@abemartin8095]

Australia really played super well making USA earn it at the end with such a loaded team.

Sometimes I forget men usa basketball team isnt the only team with nba players 😂. Giddy passes were pretty impressive. The difficulty of the passes he was making was like a needle in a hack stack. He tried to defend. My bulls got one.

Dudes who think that wasn't a steal for Chicago are fools. Look at in ten years when OKC still won nothing and Giddey has had a great career.

[@babybenj52]

​@@johnsomerville5138 it wasn't a steal it was a trade, a good trade for both teams. Giddey is the best playmaker with horrid defense, has good to great potential, but it's not guaranteed he'll blossom like you think. Don't forget, OKC just drafted a Giddey prototype in Topic who also has good to great potential. Unless you can read the future, then you have no clue what OKC will win in the next ten years.

[@lowelljustice5969]

Say what you will about Giddey but he looked good today. Honestly both the Bulls and OKC won that trade

[@thegymspot1250]

It all changes when he has the ball in hand. Creator. Bulls got a baller.
