Some of these players on France are embarrassingly poor. I can't believe Gelabale once played in the NBA.

Random?
Serbia has a long history of being a strong basketball power in Europe stretching back to their days as part of Yugoslavia.

...Serbia and Yugoslavia have always been strong basketball teams. Infact Yogoslavia has won a gold medal before while France has won a silver or bronze once? What the **** are you on about dude?

Would have been interesting if Kyrie had chosen to play for Australia.

Surprised Cavs didn't match Delly. They didn't seem to mine the crazy lux tax til now. That was a great value.

Bogut is the king of moving screens. He held Paul George and got free throws out of it.

Team USA should start something like Klow-PG13-KD-Dray-DJ or Klow-Klay-Jimmy/PG-Melo- Draymond.
Starting these lineups with scorers isn't working, they are best with good defenders (minus Melo but he's really good in FIBA) so they lock guys up, blitz screens and get out on the break. They don't play together enough to be a good half court team.

Being Australian it's great watching us match the US in the first quarter, but so many fouls on us... if Bogut & Baynes can stay out of foul trouble that would be ace.
