While the French team will try to create a surprise against Team USA this Saturday, the Blues can count on a lot of support… even across the Atlantic.

The cause? The treatment of Jayson Tatum, which is not at all popular.

This Saturday evening, France and Team USA will face off to try to win a gold medal in these Olympic Games.

An event highly anticipated by supporters, with many people predicting a big victory for Steve Kerr’s men.

It promises to be a spectacle, especially since the coach has made a major change for this big event.

Is a surprise possible? Yes, especially if the Blues are solid in defense.

Serbia came very close to winning on Thursday evening, with a 13-point lead in the last quarter, proof that Team USA is not untouchable either… except when the stars decide to take control.

But some want to see this team lose, even in the Americans’ home.

The highly criticized opinion on Team USA before the final
So why such an opinion? Because of the Jayson Tatum saga.

Left out against Serbia and several times in these Olympics, the case of the Celtics player is controversial.

A lot of criticism against Steve Kerr and his management, including from… Tatum’s mother, who didn’t hesitate to attack the coach.

Enough to create a certain unease in the locker room?

But she is not the only one, since the creator of a major US media and Celtics supporter, Dave Portnoy, is openly against Team USA.

This Saturday night, he will support the French team.

Dave Portnoy: “I am against Team USA, and tonight, I want France to win against them with at least a 1000 point lead.

I don’t care about being American.

The lack of respect shown by Steve Kerr towards Jayson Tatum during this tournament makes me hate this team. »

« Jayson Tatum brought back a new title, an NBA championship, the 18th banner.

I know there are other Celtics on this roster. (…) Yes yes, I support France! I’m going to eat baguettes and hope that France destroys Team USA.

And I hope that on the way out, Jayson Tatum breaks Steve Kerr’s jaw. »

An absolutely crazy opinion, all because Tatum is not playing much in these Olympic Games.

However, we recall that Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are regularly on the courts, but that does not seem to be enough for Portnoy.

Here is a disastrous opinion before the grand finale.

Dave Portnoy can support France, but the reason behind this choice can really surprise, to the point where Americans can’t believe it.

The Jayson Tatum case is definitely a source of problems.
