Doubling Lebron off of Curry is some seriously low IQ ****.

This is the issue with people saying "just play physical like France!"

Just simple sets from the US are huge mismatches. Wide open Curry 3. They don’t even belong on the same court talent wise. It’s just up to Kerr and the refs to keep France close.

Physical defense is how basketball should be played.
Thats just sad that you guys think that flopping is normal.


I'd love if it was called consistently physical, but the issue many have is that USA is not allowed to play as physical as France. It doesn't really bother me because France would never score if USA could play physical. France needs all the help they can get.

Every French possession is like going to a new war. They just can't find easy baskets nor do they have the shooting to cause any problems. This game is over.

When Curry is on fire there is literally nothing you can do. He can swing the game in his teams direction faster than anyone

Feel like France going double big plays right into the US hands. Gobert isn’t going to save them. But their guard play has been so bad, I guess you have to try something.

I watch every Mavs game but Lebron and his complaining at every call is just wild. Even the most obvious ones...

Make it US vs Serbia, best of 7 finals. 100M to the winner, i think they can recoup that with the profit from arena and viewership. LOL
