I wonder how Team USA's free throw percentage compares with every other country.

As if we didn't learn a lesson from the Australia game.

That pass was Steve Nash-esque

Serbia is a few bad possessions from actually leading in this game.

Yup. This is what I was suggesting during the Australia game. These countries/teams play with cohesiveness. The US, not so much. And against some teams they can get away with iso ball and just playing the passing lanes to score on a fast break.

Some of these better teams, that ain't gonna cut it. To those thinking this particular US team is unbeatable.... if the Aussie game wasn't enough proof, maybe this is.

you're trying real hard

What r you trying to say? You cant handle criticism of Melo? Its called logic. Its called common sense. 2 volume shooters playing together = bad chemistry

Should have made a complete different team, a lot more types like Kawhi Leonard, that guy from Atlanta, Parsons, Hayward.

Teodosic's passes are absolutely insane.

Terrible execution by the US to just iso Kyrie

Pathetic teamwork. Change the dang lineup coach K. This aint working obviously

Lololol, Serbs are playing to lose this one.

What kills ball movement is dribbling. Kyrie is a great player but he loves to dribble and it leads to 4 guys watching.

A team with this such talent shouldn't be depending on a stop at the end of the game to win the game...
