If we lose this game, I don't wanna hear any of you say "Ayatollah you so".

Anyone who thinks we are losing this game is a buffoon. We are favored by like 40 points and that's after all of the bullshit we've put out there lately. 

Maybe the Czech game could be bad but I doubt we lose that one either. It's the knockout rounds that might get hairy.

lol. I've got a substance cocktail working right now to be in the right mindset but also not fall asleep.

Z, crack open a beer.  Iran --> Ayatollah joke.  That was it.

Yes - I get the joke. My point was no one should be thinking "I told you so" if we lose this one. 

Mostly though - a little on edge and nervous after the France debacle. I want blood here.

On peacock? Theyve shown the women’s soccer game 3 times today and they can’t show USA basketball live.

Lillard already chucking. 

Please man...

our guys just do not care. they are not trying to play well. this is pathetic. we get on a 4 on 2 break and Booker is WIDE open ahead of the pack and under the hoop, and instead of hitting him for two KD takes a pull up three and bricks it. fuck these guys man.

Simmer down. These guys have barely played together. 

This game is already over. Just hope we put some nice stuff together going forward.

And hit 5 of them... 

6/11* now. This is over.

it's lazy, stupid play, and championship teams don't play that way, even against outmatched opponents. we lost to France by just chucking up threes ad nauseam, and we're out here doing it again. it doesn't matter that we'll win this game easily. we haven't learned from our mistakes, and any good team in this tournament will be thrilled if we play this way against them. our guys look like they're playing about as hard as they during the all star game. it's pathetic.

11 3PA in less than 9 minutes. this is exactly how we lost to France. if we keep doing this throughout these olympic i will be rooting against this team.

This entire roster is built around 3P shooting. I agree that against a better team it could turn out poorly but I'm not sure if there's much of a better game-plan to be had. We have one good back to the basket scorer in Durant (maybe Tatum and Booker to a degree). Against a poor team like Iran I think the idea is to play fast and shoot in transition. So far it's working. 

I also think our intensity on D outside the first few mins has really picked up.

agreed re: defensive intensity increasing. glad to see it. some of the guys were out there lollygagging. can't win gold with a bunch of lollygaggers.

Can we trade Tatum for Brenna Stewart?

I would much rather see Keldon than Tatum. Tatum doesn’t seem to give two shits.

Look... this should be an ass beating. Vegas thought it would be. On paper it should be. 

But Christ - it's somewhat refreshing to see it actually play out that way.

He's out there playing for himself. Has been since the first exhibition. Just a completely unnecessary player to have on the roster. 

3P shooting aside we do have 13 dimes. A lot of the treys have been assisted.

Also Jrue is badass. I’m becoming a huge fan.

my hope for the rest of this game would be that our guys take pride in holding Iran to the lowest score and FG% possible. we know it's blowout city- i just want these guys to try and make a statement on D.

ive ben a fan for a long time, but the guy was just never able to stay healthy. one of those guys who i love as a player, but whom i've never had on my fantasy team because his injury history scares me. he's been healthy for most of the last two years now and he's finally getting some recognition. i'm happy for him. i always feel for guys like him who have so much talent but can't stay fit.

Exactly what we needed. Best defender in the tournament by far.

lol Tatum nearly bricked that dunk. 

I swear I would have called up Galooli on that one.

as they're noting, the ball movement has been great this quarter. well, it's been pretty good all game, but this quarter the guys have really been clicking and looking smooth with the ball movement.

Dame is feeling it.

Shades of Melo 2012 against Nigeria.

Booker cmon man. Throw a better alley there.

I think the most positive thing I've seen is that we seem to be getting better in every game. Outside of the game against France - but that shit was kind of a fucked situation all around.

Of everyone on the floor we let Booker dribble it out into a shitty iso fade away. C'mon man. Still a little sloppy at times.

Any way we can naturalize him for the next go round?

Total leadership by Durant there in the first half. Vocal on both ends - great on defense - only forced about one shot that I saw - passed the ball well. 

That's exactly what we need from him to win this thing.

Bit of each (actually a lot of the left, splash of the right every once in awhile). Plus nicotine and... something else.

Durant is just taking these dudes to the clinic on D.

And the lone, cobra tat on his left arm is my favorite tat in the NBA.

They've never seen anything like KD
