  1. They gotta pull rui. He’s killing possessions with bad shot selection and subpar effort on defense

  2. You just know Rui loves Olympic ball because he gets to take all the shots in the world that’ll get him benched in the NBA

  3. Man I want to see more of Kawamura because he’s like my height but good at basketball. His vision is elite.

  4. Rui is the best player on Japan but he simply doesn’t have the ability to take over games. He shouldn’t be given the green light to chuck like this.

  5. Rui is just ruining Japan’s game. They played so much tighter in the fiba worlds without rui. Btw is this the warriors guy doing play-by-play?

  6. Just so people understand, Rui is literally the only player on the team who can create their own shot at this level.

    Japan can only be successful if he gets going or draws doubles.

  7. Really not one to complain about refs, but is anyone else feeling like they’re just being pretty inconsistent in their calls? Like I never know what is going to be a foul and what isn’t. Especially off-ball

  8. Also is it just YouTubetv that’s coming back from the ad breaks late or is that everybody? Or just me

  9. Germany is Lucky, that the Japan did not use the player of Generations of Miracles.

  10. Rui needs to be benched. He is not a 40min player.
    I’m guessing they’re keeping him on for size

  11. Japan played an exciting teamball offense last fiba worlds. Rui is just hijacking their possessions with needless iso ball

  12. Rui doesn’t even know his teammates’ shot tendencies. A bunch of his drive and passes ended up with him exactly on the spot his teammates drove into jesus fucking christ

  13. Wagner Bros looking great and we signed another German player in Tristan Da Silva, who’ll be on the national team in the future I presume.

  14. Hachimura probably should’ve played in those two games v. South Korea before the Olympics. He has not been gelling at all

  15. German Announcer: The US went full force here with LeBron James and Steph Kerry.

  16. Hachimuras box score would look a lot uglier if he would not have gotten a very friendly whistle, at least by FIBA standards.

  17. NBA should find a way to implement this FIBA point system rule. It will solve a lot of their problems

  18. This is about as bad as Germany can play and they still won by 20. Things are looking good.
