I know I'm late on this, but that LaVine steal was breathtaking. I was like "Who's that guy with the defensive anticipation?" Imagine my surprise when it was Zach LaVine.

Aussie's getting absolutely obliterated. Good run gents.

USA playing somewhat normal, now take care of (France?) in the final and end this nonsense.

He's done it in the NBA too, but he needs to be more consistent in general for off ball defense.

This experience hopefully helps in that regard.
