Ingles is so cocky when he plays for Utah, talking sh*t, stare downs.

When he plays for the Boomers, he’s like an overawed accountant.

Hes 4th-5th option at the Jazz in a league where theres no defense so will always get looks there. When hes the 2-3rd option hes too easily defended because hes so slow.

Is it choking tho if you just keep coming up against better and higher rated teams?

Pretty much the case for all of those 11.
Not in recent years. In 2016 they beat Serbia by 15 in the group stage, then only managed to score 14 points against them in the first half of the semi finals.
In 2019 Patty choked the free throw against Spain, and they coughed up a double digit lead against France in the bronze medal game (who they beat in the group stage).
