Team USA defeated Poland 87-74 on Saturday to finish in seventh place in the FIBA World Cup tournament, and coach Gregg Popovich had a few words for those who have criticized the red, white and blue for not bringing home a gold medal.
“Some people want to play the blame game. There’s no blame to be placed anywhere,” Popovich told reporters. “They want to play the shame game, like we should be ashamed because we didn’t win a gold medal. That’s a ridiculous attitude. It’s immature, it’s arrogant, and it shows that whoever thinks that doesn’t respect all the other teams in the world and doesn’t respect that these guys did the best they could.
Walker didn’t play on Saturday due to a neck injury, and his two Boston Celtics’ teammates were on the bench with injuries, too - Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart . The team’s 6-2 showing was good enough to clinch a berth in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, when the roster will look markedly different. Popovich, who will coach the team, didn’t discuss a potential roster.
