Serenely watching every dirty screen set by Spain after watching Olynyk being whistled for a textbook screen

Unsurprisingly once lithuania came back to earth on threes the USA came back, but still a ways to go

Canada needs to learn that only their opponents are allowed to truck players to the ground after possessions

Canada getting worked in the paint. They need to force Spain to play at a faster pace.

Spain having trouble adjusting to refs remembering what fouls are

Someone check the books to see what the over/under on whistles was.

Team USA's undefeated record leading up to this bought them a reprieve, they had already qualified for the quarterfinals before tip-off. This match determined the seeding. Depth was supposed America's edge but Lithuania went deeper. Really leaned on Anthony Edwards tonight.

Canada is hot garbage defensively against Spain

Lithuania played incredibly. Sucks to lose but I feel like they would have smoked anybody tonight.

If you shoot 5 iso stepback 3s to end the 4th quarter while not rebounding, you deserve to lose the game. Team USA bigs really got exposed by the FIBA whistle in this one. Bad screens, can't rebound, lots of sloppy turnovers by JJJ before fouling out. And since the guards aren't getting as insanely wide open going over screens they can't get going like they normally do. And they're so loving talented that they still scored 40 in the frame while taking a host of absolutely garbage shots, so many ugly step back iso 3s. I hope that Kerr can get them cleaned up. I don't think Italy can beat them but they clearly have some problems to address.

All those problems have been evident since the first scrimmage a month ago, so i doubt much will change. —- https://twitter.com/StephNoh/status/1698345833299669466?s=20 Maybe i just haven’t noticed but i don’t think Jackson is doing the Lopez twin thing where they box out multiple players and let their teammates grab an uncontested board.

R.D. Mangles posted:so what now, is the USA out of the tournament? Yeah, notably USA didn't win their 2nd group which is kinda shocking. We'll play Italy instead of Serbia (Which Serbia might be the better team anyway) because of that loss, but we'll probably face Germany in the Semi-Finals which is will be a tough game. Although I guess if we won we would've probably faced Slovakia so honestly losing was probably the right move.

He's doing more than 0 but they still have a rebounding big problem. JJJ has been good at contesting shots.

Canada might want to think about making a 3 from the corner here.

Canada would be a much better team if Dillon Brooks was their 6th man instead of one of their premier players.

Jamaal Murray launching 3s would also go a long way towards solving the collapse on Shai defences.
