Kyrie destroyed Serbia in last final, and won MVP. Kemba is doing the opposite here, big choke.

Wow what a blowout indeed in the end
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Confirms Team USA needs a significant talent advantage to overcome the chemistry disadvantage.

Because thats how they got back in to the game


They got back into the game by Mitchell going nuclear. Kemba played great defense on Donovan in the 4th to take away that option. USA just doesn't have a matchup against Gobert.

Im talking about Browns and Smarts D on Gobert not Donovans scoring

USA had no answer for Gobert, he was outstanding setting screens and defending the paint.

No rebounds no rings.


Also driving into Gobert on 3 straight late 4th qtr possessions seems like a bad idea to me

Anyone else like how they have the officials mic'ed up? I think the NBA should look into it as well.
