[@jaya6329]

The issue is the defensive play calling and execution. The other major issue is the substitutions. Subbing out the hot hand has killed momentum streaks for the team a lot. Then letting under performing line up continue to get minutes. Some egos need to be checked and the coaches arent willing to do it.

[@homer23422000]

Some of the big issues is that among the best players in the NBA right now, the usual MVP candidates, 4 of the top 5 are foreign players with Jokic, Giannis, Luka, Embiid, and Tatum. I agree that Kawhi needed to be sent home, this past season was the only season that he played more than 65 regular season games since his injury back in '17-18 with the Spurs. Then, he had a nagging knee injury that crippled him in the playoffs. Edwards worrying about being the 1st option can also hinder USA from winning if he presses too much, damaging team chemistry, and team USA could have brought on big, young wings like Evan Mobley and Paolo Banchero on the team to have good young wings that can be on the team for at least the '28 and '32 Olympic teams at least.

Because I've seen so many situations where a team has too many ball dominant guys and would be better with one of them running the second unit so the team always has a scorer on the court, but they don't, because pride and egos (and money, check out Andre iguodalas interview with Carmelo on coming off the bench).

Embiid had 14, 7, & 3 in 18 minutes. He was a team-high +15 but yall have fun running w/ ur narratives. Yall don’t see the Embiid screens and passes opening up wide open looks for Lebron & Steph!? Notice how the team is always up big when Embiid goes to the bench in the 2nd half and then AD goes in to close the game and the lead vanishes every time.

Talent is never the problem for Team USA. It's the massive egos, players who don't care nearly as much as other teams who are proud of representing their country. If it were purely a talent contest Team USA would win every game by a landslide. Also Embiid wasn't insulting LeBron or anything. He was warning everyone that just because the names on paper make is seem as if this team is unbeatable, you shouldn't think that you've won before the competition starts.

Embiid watched porzingis get a free ring and thought, "yeah, i can do that for gold!"

[@ligidobastian9245]

"Expedition games". Wtf are you on bro?

[@randumo24]

This is just flat out wrong. The only big issue with the starting lineup is Booker, who clearly has no idea how to be a role player. You probably should have waited to make this video until after all of the exhibition games because he made everyone questioning him look stupid after the Germany game.

[@oreoakalaperoji8314]

What are you talking about Embiid isn't playing because the offense doesn't revolve around him that's it. Lebron curry embiid all got their own systems with their respective teams and on team us they are mostly setting plays for curry or lebron is doing whatever he wants.

My biggest concern was always gonna be coaching. Expecting NBA coaches to learn the meta for FIBA in a few months is pretty insane. Kerr also said he would only head coach one Olympics just like Popovich. Our players have played far more games in the last year and have far more accessible footage than any other team in the tournament. We have to be far better than everyone else just to stand a chance.

[@thenotoriousmichaeljackson8938]

Embiid used to be so good defensively bruh. It's the coaching, lack of communication, and lack of trust. The bad offensive scheme.

[@KlutchKris76]

Embiid had 14, 7, & 3 in 18 minutes. He was a team-high +15. He might not get blocks and steals but he shuts down the lane from easy attempts and makes layups and drives hard for the opponent still. Notice how the team is always up big when Embiid goes to the bench in the 2nd half and then AD goes in to close the game and the lead vanishes every time.

The Sixers and Embiid hate is out of control. Dude was a +15 in a one point game. He has literally gotten better every single game. Embiid always starts slow and works into shape. He made several game changing plays in that Germany game. Go kick rocks man

[@Nightmare-we8vm]

Embiid may be this year's Brandon Ingram. As talented as he is, the coaches should be drawing sets to utilize the most effective rotations. Unlike the NBA, many of these teams will be putting out multiple starting lineups depending on the matchup. I hope the coaches and players' egos don't limit there potential.

Not rely on older players? Bruh, Steph and Lebron play more and are less injury prone than Embid

Believing in Joel Embied in late big 2024 is CRAZY 😂. This isn't a surprise. Anyone who didn't see this coming is either lying to themselves or a foolish believer in fantasies

Kobe has said is, Lebron has said it, Gil has said it, KG has said it etc. these kids don’t know how to actually play basketball anymore. They’re not learning the why, just the how. The rest of the world is learning both
