Unpopular opinion:
I don’t see what’s the big deal about Jayson Tatum not being in the rotation of USAMB first game. They beat one of the most talented countries by 26(!!). Steve Kerr said JT will factor in against other opponents. That should just be that. Everyone can’t play. – 10:33 AM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
I swear I think the message of this Jayson Tatum stuff is that Team USA should only bring six or seven All-Stars to future Olympics. Guarantee minutes for a small group, then have a wider pool of specialists who understand that they may not play. This is a dumb news cycle. – 9:47 PM

(And to be clear, I don’t really have a take on them not playing Tatum. Think there are absolutely matchups where he’ll be important. Can see a world where against Serbia it made more sense to go another way. Think I’m more just being patient to find out what the plan is for him) – 6:19 PM

Team USA looked dominant against Serbia. But much of the talk is about Jayson Tatum, who didn’t play.

Caitlin Clark, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum. This ain’t Little League. I observed Phil Jackson up close and wrote about it. Lots to question. But Phil established a team hierarchy. Steve Kerr and others have made their bold choices. In the midst of politics you still have to coach. – 9:27 AM
