That'll do it. Can't wait for the Netflix documentary in 15 years on the 2028 team's revenge tour.

If Serbia win= biggest surprise in history of basketball

Losing big and Jokic isn't doing much other than kicking to shooters that can't miss

This is how one of these upsets happens.

US **** around the first 1.5 quarters.

They've "outplayed" Serbia since but Serbia has nailed some insane shots to basically keep the same huge lead.

Joker shooting 3s like Giannis is the reason the US are still in the game.

The game is shifting ... Serbs probably are going to fold

The 6 point play is nice to have.

Serbia doing the equivalent of fullback dive and drain the clock for the entire 4th quarter.

Embiid getting outhustled for every board is hilarious

Losing a win-or-go-home game on the glass is the last thing I expected. Not over yet but ffs.

They are selling out to make sure these shooters don't get anything and there have just been some crazy bounces back to Serbia.

Yet somehow an integral part of the comeback. I wanted to kick him off the team in the 1Q.

28-10 4th quarter is rough.

That AD foul going to Jokic could swing this.

Man Serbia lost this one in a hurry.

Kerb Hohl · Post #355 » by **Kerb Hohl** » Thu Aug 8, 2024 8:41 pm

That ruled

Serbia with the choke of a lifetime. This got flipped quickly. Drama!

Embiid missed another rebound, Serbia got an open 3 & missed, then the US scored in transition. That was the killer for Serbia.

We should get AD or Bam in there for Embiid. Huge liability on defense
