Team USA's main strength is transition basketball, nobody can keep up with them, not even close. It becomes impossible tho, when they're getting outrebounded hopelessly by pretty much any team they play. Ad the fact that defensively they were getting exposed on regular basis. Especially A. Reaves who at times made someone like Harden look like a defensive juggernaut.
Btw, coaching staff also seemed incapable of reacting and making adjustments to anything not going to plan, and just have their team play thru it.
Im not sure what talking head you listen to but the US out rebounded Canada
https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2023/game/1009/USA-Canada#tab=boxscorein fact USA was second over all in rebounds for the tournament.
https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2023/teamstatsSo not sure what bullshit you are saying about how USA is getting out rebounded... Literally just saying shit to sound like you know anything
Austin Reeves also is a plus defensively. Austin also was literally he best player for the US in the loss to Germany. with a +4 boxscore (Cam Johnson doesnt count) Reeves went fucking 21 pts in 24 minutes on .700/.600/.1000. And you are Blaming Reaves? Hello?
I know you kids don't like it. But Austin Reeves is what Peak Physical Performance looks like.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY WATCH BASKETBALL IDK
