OT: Wow, Popovich blew it w Team USA

Beaten by the likes of France ??

Come on, man.......

The roster is trash and the world has gotten better. Not Pop's fault.

USA may be down to lower tier All-Stars, but they blew a 7 point lead in the fourth quarter and lost by 10. Lose a game by a bucket or two, ok, but a 17 point swing? That's blowing a 9 point lead with 50 seconds left against a bunch of walk ons at Nebraska bad.

nobody that follows basketball at this level is shocked this team lost games.

Too soon.

Nice work, Pop. One of the jobs of the HC is getting the better/right players on the team. Coach K was able to do it. Pop - not so much.

Folks blaming Pop don't sound very bright at the moment. Coach K worked with the best of the best players available. Mason frickin Plumlee is on this roster not to mention 4th or 5th options at each position. The results of this tournament are hardly surprising and Coach Pop is hardly to blame for the result.

Take it up with the players. Only like 4 of the originally selected 35 stayed with the team. The rest dropped out. NBA dudes only care about money. Still this team had the most talent in the tourney but still couldn't win it. Lost to both France and Serbia. No heart in the NBA players anymore.

Lol did you even watch any of it? They had plenty of 'heart,' just not enough half court offense.

Saying they have no heart...typical college bball fan who knows nothing about the NBA.

That was meant towards all the players that dropped out. No heart.

Pop now embracing the suck and ripping the critics.

Oh, it could never be 'Pops' fault. He's such a genius.
Come on, man !!!
Well, Pop, at least you did muster a win against Poland.

Yeah he is a god awful coach.... sincerely no one

Worst ever showing for the US in a world cup or Olympic tournament. The US was the only team with 12 NBA players on the roster. But yeah, great job by the coaching staff.

Pop needs to concentrate more on basketball and coaching rather than his political bullshit.
