Team USA doesn't play like a team. They likely will still win with sheer talent but hot shooting and feisty defense by another team could take them out in the knockout rounds.

Steve Kerr also so stubborn about starting Embiid. Or playing him at all lol. USA better off with either Bam or AD at center.

USA is getting whooped on, by South Sudan.

Embiid is notorious for not being able to advance past the 2nd round. His bad juju might be strong enough to drag the most talented bball squad in the world down in these Olympics.

Embarrassing half by Team USA.

We’ll beat them down in the second half. Won’t be as lazy coming out. Great team just walking out knowing they will win, to cool to play for real.

IMO Embiid is going to do anything to be healthy for the season, he’s not going to put in anywhere close to max effort.

It s tough to watch Tatum play ngl, looks like he has regressed quite a bit on his shot

JT shot is still broken beyond repair

So obvious that USA does way better without Embiid. Send him home.

JT has negated whatever positives White has brought in that lineup. Chance to cut it to 3, unforced turnover leading to South Sudan 3. Momentum killer. Now USA down 11 again.

Tough matchup for Embiid today. Lots of long and active players.

Davis is playing really well.

Holiday, game-changer.

He's so good. Best player for player trade the C's made since KG. The KP trade was exciting, but this trade was a game changer for them.

Easy.
