I feel like a starting 5 of Lebron, Steph, KD, Bam, & AD gives you space, size, switchability, & championship continuity. Then a second unit of Jrue, White, Ant, Tatum, & Embiid to basically create the upgraded Celtics. Book and Haliburton are great in pickup style line-ups. (I know book plays with KD but it hasn’t proven to be as winning as the other teammates)

I watched this game in person. Although the US dominated the first half, Australia's pick and roll offense really could not be stopped, and as the game progressed the went to this action over and over. Their guards were able to get in the lane and repeatedly made good reads to their bigs (thus the 68 paint points mentioned by Windhorst). In the second half, the US turned to ball over way too much, especially in a key run in the third (and early parts of the 4th) when Australia cut a double-digit lead down. In my opinion, this game was way more about the US team's lack of defensive execution than it was about offense production. I think if they improve their rotations on pick and rolls and communicate better on off-ball screens and misdirection by their opponents, then they should do well moving forward. Furthermore, Australia ran several impressive ATO's which led to immediate scores (I think 3) in the second half. I know everyone wants to see dunks, threes, and an up and down game from the US team, but they can only do that if they can control the defensive end of the court.

I know it's only been a few warm up games but the two players who have looked a little "lost" on the court are Curry and Embid. And it's no coincidence that - of the whole squad of 12 - it's Curry and Embid who have spent their WHOLE careers as the overwhelming number one options on their NBA teams where EVERYTHING goes through them. They expect to get the ball in EVERY play. At international level, you simply can't play like that: it's so much more a TEAM game than the NBA. This is why those two look a little uncertain on plays where they're not directly involved. Probably best that that Curry and Embid come off the bench : Curry to provide 3 point spark , Embid to provide offense/ defense spark when needed.
@trellwhitehurst6670Ай бұрын
For Curry it's been a minute since he's played international ball (10 years to be exact for both him and AD and 12 for Lebron). With Embiid its obvious. He's never played on the international stage before.
