It’s not the first time the US has been upset with France.

I am no longer surprised when the US team loses. The world has caught up. France has players like Rudy Gobert, Nicholas Batum, and Evan Fornier. All 3 of those players are really good at basketball. Winning a gold medal in basketball this year will be more difficult than it has ever been. Luka and Giannis are two of the top 5 players in the league and neither of them are from here.

Some of our most talented NBA players can't beat 3 pros and bunch of amatures. Embarrassing. |

I am going the other route and giving France credit instead of ripping our team. As Giants fans, we definitely know how an excellent gameplan can overcome a superior opponent. |

Let France go on an 18 to 2 run. |

I didn't watch it, and I won't. It's just not interesting to me anymore. I used to love it too.
Now they cry racism because Kevin Love made the team.

Love made the team because he is one of the best players in the world. Gregg Popovich is the last person anyone thinks of when it comes to racism. Rose tried to apologize, but the apology was a dollar short and a waste of time. |

Rudy Gobert would make it quite easily. He's one of the best big men and defenders in the league. He's a regular on the NBA all defensive team and has won the DPOY award twice. Certainly better than Javale McGee. |

They looked great against Iran. 120-66. A win against the Czech Republic will have them advancing out of the group

Glad they got it done. Got a little dicey in the 4th, but they held on this time.

I try to never blame refs, but my God every time someone so much as breathed on Fall or Gobert it was a foul, but when gobert full length armed washed out Lillard, nothing.. Speaking of Lillard, the dude was so much quicker and faster than anyone else on the court, U.S. team members included, hadn't seen him play much, but damn.. |

I saw the video earlier today. I honestly don't know how or why Kendrick Perkins is allowed to voice his opinion on a national platform. He is absolutely horrible at his job. |

He talks out of his rear all the time, the sports networks all love guys like this. Not because they are right, but because people are responsive to them. |
