USA vs Serbia: Coach Steve Kerr benched Jayson Tatum the entire Olympic Game.

Someone has to sit. They’re all stars. Deal with it.

[T.R.U.T.H..]

A little humble pie goes a very long way!

[Beachtrader]

Handle your business kerr. bring home that gold

[Ralph_Malph]

I get the feeling Tatum is gonna torch the Warriors this upcoming

[vickietrice]

The coach did not let him play out of ignorance he should have never had to sit through the games

[NickOdude]

Yeah and they won that game by 20 points as opposed to nearly losing to South-Sudan and Germany - seems like a good call to me. Glad to see the coach isn't effected by star power, need more of it

[dr.zarkov]

It's okay Tatum is saving receipts for the regular season. He's gonna fuk it up this season. Celtics back to back champs is coming!

[timhoward]

*Stop! Tatum is doing a good job warning the bench. They're too many stars on the team. Putting a guy in the game who was giving a free championship isn't going to do much became no one is injured for the other teams.*

[stevecrockom]

300 plus million, he's not worried about it

[BigReese]

Steve definitely has some personal issues with Tatum ..

[MrKINGRAMA]

Steve Kerr is dissing now. Can't say he feels like an idiot again....not even a minute u give Jason smh it's undeniable Steve don't like him

[jamesterrance]

They really could win without him. This ain’t Boston, these are the best of the best. An ur jus okay in comparison

[oudxevx]

He's the coach it's up to him stop acting like the players control the team that's what's wrong with this world the coaches is is in control of those teams not the players

[lmate]

Kerr said it himself. He had a math problem trying to play 11 guys in his 10-man rotation, i.e. 5 on 5 off. That sounds to me like he doesn't know how to adjust to live game coaching or rotating 1or 2 players in at a time with the starters when needed. YOU would think he would know all the players and what they're capable of. 5 on 5 off means you're playing two different games. Match ups are a huge part of why I love basketball. You have to learn which players match up against the opposition and make changes throughout the game to take advantage of mismatches due to wrong player match ups. He is lucky he has star power in his team that saved his butt from losing to Serbia.

[ranman]

I don’t wanna hear that crap, ,why didn’t you play him?

[deandre]

Hey I didn't even make the team... he is better off than I am

[chrisrussell]

They should have put him in Anthony Edwards was trash that game.

[Shivavishnubrahma]

It’s personal


Coach could have played him

Kerr was a rat here


One thing I learned playing sports

If the coach does not like you for done reason

They won’t play you
Or they make example of you to teammates
Or the coach will pick on you
Etc

This is classic example

[VernonRhem]

Don't like the chemistry of those guys

[kennethmoffett]

Yes he is an idiot but he has his reasons and he will do it again if he had a reason don’t be fooled behind what he did both him and the player knows why also the whole US team knows why👍
