Derrick White won the game. Anthony Davis and Embiid in to get into game shape on their own time. Until then, they should play less.
Barry Bonds Jr has no business starting at this point in his career. I don't care how much juice he takes.

There's a reason why Lebron's team and Steph's team either got eliminated in the 1st round or didn't make the playoffs.

Tatums jumpshot looks phenomenal.

He is better than Jesus, in fact.

Daniel Theis just did a Luke Kornet close out, i'm so proud Celtics heritage gets passed on.

Tatum wide open and AD tries to spin and loses it out of bounds trying to score on his own. This is a selfish group lol.

Lebron is ridiculously good for his age. Saved them twice now.

This is with KD not playing yet.

If I had to pick MY top 8 in rotation (no particular order) -- Lebron, Holiday, KD, AD, Steph, Bam, Tatum and White. Embiid situationally as 9th guy.

The USA team is playing pretty badly.

Kerr needs to go back to GS and needs to be replaced by Joe Mazzulla. He can take Steph.

Add Jaylen Brown and Horford to this team and the US team will start rollin.

People are getting carried away by Lebron. He plays no defense. He gets the most chances to play other than Steph because Kerr has to play Curry and Lebron. Lebron is the Godfather of the NBA. Take the steroids away, and he would have been out of the league 2 seasons ago.

People here are saying Lebron is really good. He is playing against Serbia, South Sudan and Germany and getting every opportunity to play and get plays called for him. It's not like South Sudan and Serbia are good defensive team or the Wagner boys are elite defenders for Germany.

Common on people.

Aww, Jrue and Derrick hanging out.

AD always with such a blank, emotionless look on his face lol.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
