Team defense was bad. They got out of what worked on offense.
Feel like Kyrie's terrible PnR defense and his hero ball offense hurts the team. He makes up for it with great shots, but the US team should be posting Melo and Cousins more often and hiding Kyrie on defense as much as possible.
Also, Serbia is a good team. I said they and Aus would be good games, and it's shown. US team needs to work on their offense and involve more than just Kyrie and Durant taking pull-up 3s.

Don't think offense is the problem when they scored 94 points in 40 minutes.
They have to defend better if they want to win.

If he played for NY he'd get just as much press as Kristaps, but he plays for the fucking nuggets so no one cares.
Where'd quote go?
Anyways, they have offensive and defensive problems. They got shredded by great passing which is a rotation and ball stopping problem. Serbia also hurt their small ball a bit. Coach K may want to play more Dray at the PF, even though his offense has been terrible.
Their fast break depends on getting steals, but teams have started to punish their wings for going for steals. That final posession they gave up the one shot they didn't want to give up because two players went for the steal. They just got lucky that it missed.
So they need to play smarter defense, because they will have the rebounding advantage versus many teams and don't need to try to go for the steal. They also need better half-court offense to discourage teams from junking up the game.

Paul George occasionally just freelances for no fucking reason at all. Like, George and Durant covers half the width of the court with their arms, just fucking put your arm to the side and dare the other team to make a pass. WTH.
They still need Paul George though. There's nothing all that different from the way this US squad plays compared to the previous squads. It's always been pressure defense and fastbreaks but poor half-court. The balance was Lebron would bail them out in the half court and set up Melo a ton. That's the role George should be taking, the wing facilitator.
Ship Kyrie's ass back to Cleveland he's horrible for this team. Why is he even starting if they're playing through Durant?
yo, Jokic isn't a joke. he looks like he belongs in the big boy league.Lmao. Nobody gives a shit about the Nuggets.
Jokic is awesome. Laveurgne or whatever that plays for the French team is also a nice player on the Nuggets. Athletic, shooting semi-big man.
Rude Koko is a Nuggets fan here and that team has largely had similar if not a better record than the Knicks over the last few years.
Also, Coach K was clueless in this game. Had defensive issues and is yet playing Kyrie and Durant 30 minutes, with Butler and Lowry watching from the bench.
Plays for the Nuggets
Lmao. Nobody gives a shit about the Nuggets.I've only cared enough to watch how shitty Mudiay is.
what channel are you watching this on?been watching live streams on NBColympics.com
EDIT: was the game on I mean.
yeah and I think it's on one of the NBC universal cable channels
Apparently the only thing NBC shows on their home network is Michael Phelps.

It would help if Team USA had a Center that could play actual defense.
Or i guess if Klay was actually as good as he gets the hype for.
I didn't watch any of this im just talking shit

Wiggins easily
Embiid still hasn't played so who knows.. Gordon hasn't showed anything that is deserving of a #1 pick.
Jokic looked great as a rook though..

Who would you pick first:i dunno. seeing embiid's recent video and he's potential upside being monstrous, i'd have to go with him.
Wiggins
Jokic
Embiid
Gordon
Other player from 2014 draft.
guys... is it okay for a single guy to go out alone with a married woman for drinks? (From the ladies perspective) asking for a 'friend'
If you invited So long as you not fuck buddies after. But if she invited and you become the fuckboy on the side then that's okay.
Just make sure you don't ruin a family and marriage.
Go enjoy drinks.

Drinks / dinner with a married female friend is fine. I've done it numerous times.
Unless you're trying to get it in. Then... seek dy for help.

I think the fact that the question has to be asked is answer enough. It's shady. Maybe not super shady, but a little.
Oh dont worry I wasn't asking for permission, I already did it lolz...
I have this relatively new Russian co-worker (she's straight off the boat, really cute and I find her struggles with english expressions endearing) . She's only 28 as well so it's not like it's some cougar... We literally around each other the entire day due to the job requirements. She doesn't have a car so I drive her around to lunch and we have lunch together each day too. Over the past few months we've gotten closer and closer and the other day she asked if I wanted to go to a brewery with me.
I found this a little odd, not from my viewpoint since I was of course comfortable going, but moreso from hers as I was just trying to put myself in her shoes and think if that was an "okay" thing to do. (which is why I asked)
Maybe it's a cultural difference?
Still not really sure what to make of all this, kinda confused tbh.
For what it's worth, I have not met the husband at all and know very little about him. Gotta be honest, don't feel good about this.

Where's her husband?
EDIT: It's fine to hang out with her. I don't believe that a woman getting married means she's no longer allowed to have male friends, but you should probably make sure there isn't any misunderstanding between you and her.
Yeah, she's not his property, she can do whatever the fuck she wants, but you should make sure you're not getting into anything dumb.

I'll be honest, vire. Bail out. Her husband is probably some Russian mafia dude who will end you.
Dude, don't do it. Ain't right.

Adam, If I mysteriously stop posting on here ya'll know what happened at least.
(I have not done anything and don't really plan to... fuck off PSY). I just question what's going on with the marriage, like what if she's just using him for financial reasons or some green card visa shit? Why would you invite someone who you know to be single out for drinks like that? There's lots of other little stuff... there's just something fishy about the whole thing.
It would be much easier to ignore and lock it out of my mind if I literally did not see her for 8 hours a day 5 days a week.

Amusingly I think my boss knows what's up cause he came into our office (the door was closed) and we were laughing when he walked in and somehow the subject got brought up that she was going to buy a new Macbook laptop for her travels to specific clients... and he was like oh yeah I know your HUSBAND (says this word in particular very loudly and looks squarely at me) must have brainwashed you because Apple is overrated. (He apparently knows more about the guy than I do). I just gave a 'who me' look back.
No I'm not sure Hasphats, I'm pretty terrible at seeing this stuff.
