Both teams starting 3 guards with Brooks and James at opposing PF..

This starting lineup makes zero sense. Curry, Jrue, Tatum, LeBron, Embiid was an obvious starting lineup with KD out

KD finally listened to me and got the close haircut. Makes the bald spot less noticeable.

Having a real center like Embiid should be a major help to the team this year.

US looks out of sorts to begin but are grinding. Canada looking smooth but not firing on all cylinders.

Tatum, the best USA player, should be starting. Old ass James should not.

Embiid is too slow for the way this team needs to play. AD and Bam much better fits
