What is everyone’s thoughts on the new format? I think it has definitely improved from the previous few years. I almost feel like I am watching a basketball game now! The tournament set up really gives a more competitive vibe, and it was smart to split the USA teams by age.

I like the 10-minute match format. It made each minute more meaningful, so players played hard the entire time. They can change team compositions, but they should keep the game format. Maybe even make it 12 minutes per match. Also, give some time to rest for the last winner before the final, as they will be more gassed.

Props to Wemby and Ant for leading by example and actually playing. All it takes is a couple of players and it’s a domino effect. Even the old heads were playing hard. Oh and Kawhi is a freaking machine. lol

Disappointed but not unexpected with Jokic and Luka. With no Giannis and Shai, Wemby was basically carrying his entire team. Props to KAT on offense but his defense contributed to their loss, especially on the winning shot from Barnes. If Jokic and Luka were injured or on a minutes restriction, they should’ve been DNP’d and gave their roster spots to replacements who would actually try.
