Paul George continues to be candid about Team USA’s struggles. Or, more accurately, Team USA’s relative struggles.
The reddest, whitest, and bluest basketball team in Brazil is still undefeated and remains the overwhelming favorite to soon be the goldest.
But PG was outspoken after a near-loss to Serbia, saying that the team cannot “keep playing like this.” He said the offense was too iso-heavy and that players were not displaying the necessary trust in one another.
Now, Paul George is admitting — after a too-close-for-comfort win over France — that he didn’t think the competition was going to be this hard.
