Will Snowflakes do as Snowflakes do and melt? It's sad to watch a once strongly patriotic and confident nation become "just like everyone other nation", "one in the world (ruled by China)"
Are they going to blame Trump for this, or Obama? Popovich is the coach too, how fitting.
I won't knock players who proudly represent their nation, I will knock those who bought into anti-Americanism and as I've warned, it will come at a steep price. Mainly ones potential...
The Olympics, they were supposed to be different.
They weren't. Going back to the World Cup in China two years ago, the Americans are 3-5 in their last eight games with NBA players in the lineup.
A 10-point U.S. lead in the third quarter was wasted, and so was a 12-point barrage from Holiday in the opening four-and-a-half minutes of the fourth quarter, as the Americans went from six points down to start the period, to six points up with 5:23 remaining.
The loss doesn't knock the U.S. out of medal contention, but it essentially eliminates the margin for error. The Americans play Iran on Wednesday and then the Czech Republic on Saturday in its final two Group A games; win both of those, and the U.S. will be in the quarterfinals. Lose another one, and the Americans might not even finish in the top eight of this 12-team tournament.
