Slovenia would have put up a greater fight than France. Looking like a blowout is coming.

KD v Luka would have made for one hell of a match. This France squad is deep though.

I am so glad Evan Fournier isn't on the Magic anymore. Just a career loser.

He is. It took me awhile to get used to his voice but I think he's also getting used to what voice to use when he's doing the broadcast
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Tatum's shot selection can be so much better

Watching Jrue hold his own against a big guy is one of my favorite basketball sequences to watch

If we were making our open 3s this game would be over already.

Honestly the NBA needs to look at the flow of these games. So much better.

VC is getting better but isn't there yet. I had to shut it and change to a Canadian stream feed with Australian commentators LOL. Much better.

USA should be up 23’ish. Some of tatums ISO’s have been trash. More ball movement unless it’s KD

I mean, he drew 2 fouls on pass attempts.

Lillard, Holiday, KD, Tatum all have 0 assists, KD (6-11) and Tatum (4-7) are the only guys who are able to consistently get and make their shots.

KD in a league of his own, obviously.

honestly the refs call just as much perimeter fouls as the NBA. The real reason why the game seems to flow faster in FIBA is due to no commercials and less timeouts
