It's just part of the game instead of a moment sell us sausages, VPNs, and the cellphones we already have.

19/7 on 8-14 shooting in the gold medal game.

What about unnecessarily going iso? Stopping the flow of the offense? A resistance to creating for others? Dumb turnover in crunch time?

If he didn’t go ISO like he did, they’re probably down right now, FWIW. They were much better with him in tonight (team best +12, so don’t think he was stopping the flow of much.

He was their second leading scorer, was efficient, led the team in rebounds, and was their best defensive wing. Obviously Holiday/KD/Draymond were better defensively lol.

19/7 on 14 shots with 2 turnovers and good defense is a damn good game, and it was in the gold medal game. Chill out.

Too many fouls in favor of France, US couldn't keep momentum going, Gobert fouls out, and KD willed us to gold.

USA!

They got Gobert crying. wow.

Game wasn’t as close as the score. Never were the USA threatened.
