Basketball at the Olympics

Pretty funny they put curry in and he gets pulled almost immediately because Serbia abused him by switching Jokic to him.

 

Anyone trying to compare the Dream Team to this team obviously isn’t paying attention.
The current Team USA is playing against the current NBA MVP in the Olympics.
How can that even compare to 1992?

 

Look at LeBron. Took the Center position to guard Jokic because Embiid was getting cooked.

 

KD can’t miss

 

KD making it rain!

 

The minute Spoeltra got into that discussion it was over.

 

He’d probably be a good Udonis / Taj Gibson kind of vet for the team.

 

KD is a team USA goat

 

With 6 seconds left in the half, Serbia let up. So the U.S. had Edwards take it inbounds and run into Bogdanovich, crossing over at the last instant. Bog stuck out his hand and fouled him. 3 seconds left. The U.S. made a long inbounds pass to Durant under the basket and he made a 9-footer. They pulled 2 tricks in 9 seconds.

I think I got the names right...I turned off the sound, the awful narration isn't covering the game. The ads are very short. The TV show lacks sponsors.

 

Bench warmer?

 

LeBron with a flagrant? That was pretty rough.

 

It's an interesting lineup playing Holiday-Booker-Steph together. Not sure I like it

 

Trade rumors?

 

Without question in this type of venue with these rules and these refs Jokic>Embiid.

 

Mills would be a great mentor for Scoot to bring off the bench

 

Respect to the guy wearing Portland Greg Oden Jersey

 

The USA needs to win this year because in 4 years it will be even tougher.
It will be a much different USA team too. All these old stars will be gone.

 

Yeah but in four years team USA will have Scoot and the newly crowned MVP Clingan.

 

Even when they came out today and Serbia went on that early run, you could tell that these Team USA players had a different level of intensity than in those exhibition games. Well as the game has played out we've seen that if our team wants it... they're getting it. This game isn't competitive and I don't think there are a lot better opposing rosters in this field than Serbia.

 

So exactly how does this work out for Serbia? They got put in the same pool as the US? If they win out from here can they still make the medal rounds?
