How Ant is getting minutes over him is crazy! JT can actually be a playmaker which they seriously need right now!

This is what I was worried about. Who is going to step up and bring us back from this ****? 40 year old LeBron?

Serbia wants this more right now. It also can't be understated the psychological advantage of having the best player on the court on your team.

Kerr is making sure Steph is nice and cold before he gets back in the game.

Lol we got that look in our eye like we about to get spanked!

Gotta put Curry/LeBron/KD in the rest of the game. If we going out with a L it has to be with those 3 on the court.

Kerr is overrated as a HC btw

Let's go Serbia! Great game so far!

Lmao this is going to be more embarrassing than 2004. LeBronze 2.0

KD needs to step up, he is by far the most experienced and the best scorer in FIBA game, dont crap the bed please!

KyRo23 · Post #495 » by **KyRo23** » Thu Aug 8, 2024 7:29 pm

Still don’t get going with wholesale lineup changes with a lineup that was actually playing decent. Kerr has not been very good

The idea of Ant continues to be better than the reality.

AI_Efficiency · Post #497 » by **AI_Efficiency** » Thu Aug 8, 2024 7:29 pm

White, Curry, Lebron, Durant, Bam. See if they can get us back in this.

I mean he's not shooting the ball for the players. They're missing shots they normally make. Ant had 2 turnovers etc. Players got to play well lol

I just don't understand why you would take him out with 2 minutes left in the quarter when he's on fire. Ride the hot hand, especially on a team that's stacked with talent. He can sit in the 2nd quarter when he cools off.

Jokic can’t do it every game cause of his offensive load but when he ratchets up the intensity he’s GREAT on defense

Kerr should sub Tatum in. But he’s too stubborn and bitter

Who wins the semifinal games on Thursday?
