Bam and AD in the front court together is so unfair. Hyped to see this duo through the tournament!

do you really need to be more stacked.....even without those guys you still have a starting lineup off the bench

This young lineup is a crazy change of pace from the starters lol

KD is out??

The Kelly Olynyck

Tatum and Edwards already the best players on the court for team USA. Not suprising

Tatum and Ant showing they’re a level above the rest of the US players

Bam and AD combo is filthy

Well... That was certainly a start.

This USA team doesn’t feel like a team at all. Canada is cohesive and moves as a unit. Even their coaches and bench are into it. This is why it’s annoying

This team is gonna go as far as AD and Bams defense holds up (Embiid still looks hurt).

USA has to re-adjust to HS and College style defensive schemes. Going to be fun to watch them grow

Could he drop and we see them add another big?

Against European teams like Serbia and France, yea you need to be more stacked.

I honestly hope the Canadians wax us tonight. Best thing in the world that could happen to this team.

Embiid always looks hurt. Dude moves like he’s 47 years old

Why isn’t Hali playing point over Ant? What’s his role if he isn’t playing point guard

US team doesn't look like they have chemistry. They haven't been practicing together much. They're gonna need a few more games like this soon and FAST. They got too much talent and too much size to not win this one though.
