Brian Windhorst joins"First Take" to evaluate Steve Kerr's decision-making with the lineups after Team USA's first two games at the Paris Olympics.
When coach Steve Kerr met with the team Friday, he presented the Olympic basketball tournament standings and underscored the importance of not just beating Puerto Rico in their final pool play game Saturday but by trying to do it by the largest amount possible. "We want the No. 1 seed," Kerr said at practice Friday."It gives you the best matchup in the quarterfinals. So if we drop down to two or three -- which I think is unlikely, but we've got to take care of our business -- we possibly have a much tougher opponent."
