As an Aussie, our team always does our country so proud. All of the players genuinely seem to relish the opportunity and want to play for each other - they all seem to grow an extra 6 inches in international tournaments. They work hard and they play smart and to their strengths. So good to see. Unfortunately we will be in Pool Of Death in the Olympics. I know the US is a FAR more talented team and not suggesting they need to learn anything from the aussies but it’s a good wake-up call for them. The good teams won’t be intimidated - they will come at the US and rise to the occasion. US be ready.
I think the rotation strategy in the 1st half was brilliant from Kerr & Co. It’s better to keep the distinction between starters & bench so they can get more reps together. Our 2nd unit is clearly better defensively and allows us to maintain or extend our leads. Unless we get into foul trouble we should keep the 2 units separate for better chemistry.
AD works better with the 2nd unit. Embiid on the bench wouldn’t work. He not only draws more attention than AD but he’s also a better perimeter shooter to compliment the 1st unit. He is a big presence in the paint on defense & once he learns to knock the shots off the rim then it’s over
Love games like this, where players like Landale are playing a bigger role and show their actual potential. Even if they’re “only“ on an nba bench these guys are so skilled.
The aussie center was completely trashed by Davis on a rebound and he did not even flinch when going down. It's refreshing to see. NBA players would want a wheelchaír in that situation :)

Most people don't have the attn span for my career anymore. It's not just nba 2k. Gamers barely play story modes at all anymore. It's all about connecting with their gaming friends in open world environment.
This USA team is scary. Most of them can have an off day which would be very rare but any one of the superstars (the whole team lol) can catch fire and it's over. They can win games just by individual talent and little teamwork. When they really start to get in flow as a team it's GG
I don't watch cricket but after reading about this tournament and seeing the celebration of India after they won, the sport of cricket has a new fan in me!
Really never understood the hate for book. He’s chill, great scorer, fun to watch, and a very adequate defender if you actually watch him play. His shoe line is sick, cool dude and all the players respect him. Yeah he’s talked some trash to players but since when is that a bad thing. He’s loyal and a baller, I’ll never get the hate
He gets the hate mostly because he plays for Phoenix and also I think because of his trash talking. When he was clowning Luka that angered all the Euro fans. Also he always kills the L.A. Teams in the postseason and L.A. has the biggest fanbase so there is a lot of fans in L.A. that hate him. The people that know basketball know he’s legit.
Friendlies are hard to judge. Our 4th place team in last year's World Cup was undefeated in friendlies, including beating Germany who then beat us when it counted. On the other hand our gold medal Olympic team from 2021 lost it's first two friendlies to Australia and...Nigeria! And then the Nigerian team was not able to win a single game in the Olympics, not even against a weak German team with no Schroeder or Franz Wagner.
In order to beat Germany in the friendlies they had to have a huge comeback and were carried by Anthony Edwards. They ended up losing to Germany by 2 points in the tournament so the friendlies were a good measure
@@nydibs yeah you're right. the 8 points victory against Germany was really closer as they had to come back form like 15 as opposed to this 6 point victory against Australia as the US was up by 16 and then let down at the end
Simmons and Giddey on the same court would be a disaster the other teams would clog up the paint knowing Simmons won’t shoot and Giddey poor shooting percentage.
It's truly amazing how far the international game has come since the dream team era. Like, you'd think this USA roster would be blowing teams out even with a 60 yr old LeBron and Habitually hurt AD, but these games are close. Just great basketball being played all around. Great to see
Add to this note that these international teams are stocked with NBA players (former or present) and I’m sure that helps evens the playing field and adds the unstated to your observation
Sometimes I forget men usa basketball team isnt the only team with nba players 😂. Giddy passes were pretty impressive. The difficulty of the passes he was making was like a needle in a hack stack. He tried to defend. My bulls got one.
@@johnsomerville5138 it wasn't a steal it was a trade, a good trade for both teams. Giddey is the best playmaker with horrid defense, has good to great potential, but it's not guaranteed he'll blossom like you think.

I hate that 2k don’t take MyCareer seriously, imagine qualifying and playing in the Olympics
Most people don't have the attn span for my career anymore. It's not just nba 2k. Gamers barely play story modes at all anymore. It's all about connecting with their gaming friends in open world environment.
@@JHeezy93 actually think people would embrace and love it tbh
This USA team is scary. Most of them can have an off day which would be very rare but any one of the superstars (the whole team lol) can catch fire and it's over. They can win games just by individual talent and little teamwork. When they really start to get in flow as a team it's GG
Is my music heat 🔥🔥?
No they wont LMAO
the amount of HGH and steroid use is scary
@@joe3009 sadly it's the truth, no one beating USA sorry to spoil it to you bud
I don't watch cricket but after reading about this tournament and seeing the celebration of India after they won, the sport of cricket has a new fan in me!
USA can supercharge their talent whenever they feel threatened I feel like haha
Really never understood the hate for book. He’s chill, great scorer, fun to watch, and a very adequate defender if you actually watch him play. His shoe line is sick, cool dude and all the players respect him. Yeah he’s talked some trash to players but since when is that a bad thing. He’s loyal and a baller, I’ll never get the hate
It’s he talks trash only if he’s sure he’s winning, and can give and not take. Also kinda just has a punchable face
He gets the hate mostly because he plays for Phoenix and also I think because of his trash talking. When he was clowning Luka that angered all the Euro fans. Also he always kills the L.A. Teams in the postseason and L.A. has the biggest fanbase so there is a lot of fans in L.A. that hate him. The people that know basketball know he’s legit.
Friendlies are hard to judge. Our 4th place team in last year's World Cup was undefeated in friendlies, including beating Germany who then beat us when it counted. On the other hand our gold medal Olympic team from 2021 lost it's first two friendlies to Australia and...Nigeria! And then the Nigerian team was not able to win a single game in the Olympics, not even against a weak German team with no Schroeder or Franz Wagner.
I'm SOOOOO happy Jason T. & Jalen B. GOT A RIIIIIING!!
Sheesshhh chilll
In order to beat Germany in the friendlies they had to have a huge comeback and were carried by Anthony Edwards. They ended up losing to Germany by 2 points in the tournament so the friendlies were a good measure
@nydibs This team is the deepest roster ever the only true litmus test will be against Serbia on Wednesday.
@@nydibs yeah you're right. the 8 points victory against Germany was really closer as they had to come back form like 15 as opposed to this 6 point victory against Australia as the US was up by 16 and then let down at the end
The ball movement for America is beautiful
There is no selfishness at all & it makes their games flow beautifully
Bruhh imagine giddey and simmon playing together 😳🔥that duo would be crazy
Simmons and Giddey on the same court would be a disaster the other teams would clog up the paint knowing Simmons won’t shoot and Giddey poor shooting percentage.
@@regulardude2981 To be fair colgging the paint would help free up shooters on the perimeter.
Just wow, Australia. I was starting to lose hope at some point, thanks for comming back in this game, this is a huge step for basketbal as a sport
With such a strong squad, Australia truly played exceptionally well, forcing the USA to earn it in the end.
Good to see Giddey hooping without the drama.
yooo Kerr just watching the 14-2 run like
Team USA is unstoppable!! Let’s go Steph Curry , LeBron James and KD! One last dance 👏👏👏👏👏
It's truly amazing how far the international game has come since the dream team era. Like, you'd think this USA roster would be blowing teams out even with a 60 yr old LeBron and Habitually hurt AD, but these games are close. Just great basketball being played all around. Great to see
Add to this note that these international teams are stocked with NBA players (former or present) and I’m sure that helps evens the playing field and adds the unstated to your observation
Australia really played super well making USA earn it at the end with such a loaded team.
And Australia is ranked 7th out of all the teams in the olympics
u ppl sound so goofy lol everyteam is loaded with the best players not just usa
@@needatag That doesn’t mean much though lol, Australia legit won the bronze in the last Olympics, they’re obviously easily a top 5 team at their best
@@mrhaz8939 They lost to slovenia in the worldcup
@@mrhaz8939 3yrs ago
I'm not a curry fan but looking at centres shooting threes when steph is standing right there is hilarious
Sometimes I forget men usa basketball team isnt the only team with nba players 😂. Giddy passes were pretty impressive. The difficulty of the passes he was making was like a needle in a hack stack. He tried to defend. My bulls got one.
*Giggly
Don’t say “got one”
Don’t say “needle in a hay stack”
Dudes who think that wasn't a steal for Chicago are fools. Look at in ten years when OKC still won nothing and Giddey has had a great career.
@@johnsomerville5138 it wasn't a steal it was a trade, a good trade for both teams. Giddey is the best playmaker with horrid defense, has good to great potential, but it's not guaranteed he'll blossom like you think. Don't forget, OKC just drafted a Giddey prototype in Topic who also has good to great potential. Unless you can read the future, then you have no clue what OKC will win in the next ten years.
Say what you will about Giddey but he looked good today. Honestly both the Bulls and OKC won that trade
It all changes when he has the ball in hand. Creator. Bulls got a baller.
Josh Giddey with a jumpshot would be a force to be reckoned with
The world has closed the gap in nba talent.
Putting Ant Man on the thumbnail with Giddey is nasty work 💀💀
Bron and Edwards back-to-back threes is splendid 👌
Mills, Ingles & James still around since '08 olympics, WOW!
I don’t miss a day a week kislux This show..
Giddy goin stupid wit the finger rolls😂😂
