After losing both exhibition matches and the Olympic opener against France, the U.S. fought its way through the group stages to advance to the knockout round but doubt had set in before the U.S. set foot in Tokyo."I’m not confident at all," he said during an appearance on"" last month."And it’s no disrespect but you look at the players they have , , they play cute. In a good way, right. They get buckets.
"Everybody who said we were going to take the L . . . They had some power rankings out. They had us fourth behind Slovenia. Come on, man," Durant said on his Instagram stories."Talking about they're catching up to us, like, are you serious? This skill is unmatched, you dig? "Kendrick Perkins, you talk a lot of s---.
