RJ Barrett sucks. If we have to trade KAT, please reroute Barrett somewhere else.


USA
Slovenia
Germany
Lithuania

all are in the quarters

DR vs Serbia
PR vs Italy

Canada vs Spain
Latvia vs Brazil

ALL knockout games on Sunday.

Underlying thing to look at:

if only one of DR/PR/Canada/Brazil advance, that team and USA clinch Olympic bids (2 from the Americas can qualify in this tournament, 2 from Europe, we don't know who, 1 from Africa, 1 from Asia-- we'll know that tomorrow, Australia as the Oceania bid and France as the host).

Actually 35. kek...and terrific defense. His on-ball defense looked spectacular to me. But you're right...this team can't rebound. When did JJJ forget how to reobund? It's amazing this game was so close with a 16 rebound differential and Lithuania making 14 of 25 three pointers.

I don’t know why Kessler is on this team if Kerr can’t give him extended minutes in this matchup. Like JJJ never been a great rebounder but he couldn’t risk picking up fouls on rebounds because he was the only guy who could defend the post. You are right Ant D was special!!!

I love the international game by the way. So much fun watching post play be effective
