Obst means “fruit”, in German.

They got beat by a dude named “Andy Fruit”.

There are some pretty threatening fruits out there.

Bad look for the clowns over at Team USA. Awesome stuff with Reaves getting picked on by teams all tourney. He should be a 12th man, not a #2.

Welp. Got whooped by Dillon Brooks.

And SGA!

Watching this World Cup makes me even more pissed off we lost to the freaking knicks, Brunson and Hart beat us… that shouldn’t have happened

Turned into Ant hero ball down the stretch.

Not a good way to win an international tournament

Ants not a winner and honestly shouldn’t be invited to an international tournament again. FIBA basketballs a team game

And SGA!

SGA has been incredible for Canada. What he did to Team USA (RIP Mikal Bridges) in overtime was something

Thibs is a good playoff coach. He is very good at emphasizing weaknesses of the opposing team. He is also lucky that Donovan was 3 of 17 on open 3's.

Cavs will shoot better next series almost no matter what

I'm not sad that Mobley didn't play on Team USA, but I think if someone like him did, they wouldn't have lost. There are just some guys that would have out done the other teams. Like, Lebron wouldn't have let them lose, even if he had to do it himself. They didn't have anyone like that on the team this year and it showed. Despite the playoffs this past year, I do believe Mobley is that kind of player that just wouldn't let them lose, and I guess that gives me good vibes (he's that annoying guy that always practices "too" hard, like all the greats).

Anyways, what a shit fest. Will be interseting to see what they do in 2 years, will the US stop the pro league thing, or will they stack the team?

Is it crazy that I think the two best guys that fit that description are Reaves and Brunson from the roster that made it? Ant can absolutely catch on fire but his shot selection is...not great. And his contributions outside of that area are limited.

I wish Mobley was the kind of player who wouldn’t let the Cavs lose to the Knicks in the first round…that would have helped!

The problem with team USA was starting Brunson at the point. He is never really a traditional pg and not a good defender. If they had a trae or garland who can set up an offense and a threat to pull up anywhere, they would be better off. Lack of size when most teams played traditional line ups is a fail of the scouting department.
