Ty Lue:
> Taking care of the basketball is one, rebounding the basketball is two, and transition defense, that's three [...] We take care of those three things, the wins will pile up. But you know we gotta do those things consistently for 48 minutes, not 28 and not 32. It's the same message just so you know what it is, so next time just tell PG those three things.

So did we miss out on PG or did we dodge a bullet? If he can't give consistent focus and effort in a contract year, then...?
US women: 84-57 over Germany.
“Late in the first quarter, there was a possession where Team USA made eight passes and all five players touched the ball before Alyssa Thomas kicked it out to a wide-open Jewell Loyd for a 3-pointer. If there was a model possession for how the sport should be played, that was it. The announcer called it "picture perfect" basketball.” CBS Sports
