Great catch and finish by Jrue. Pass was a little behind him

No athleticism and vertical threat (and defensive versatility) playing Embiid, so you play him with Curry and LeBron? Start Booker and Jrue? What the hell is this lineup man.

AD should be starting and let Embiid cook the second unit. Start Ant or Tatum instead of soft ass Booker.

Warriors fans I apologize. Kerr is ass.

I said it from jump, he's the worst HC you could have for this roster.

Starters kicked into gear for the US. Holiday making ball handlers hate life, US pushing the ball.

Hilarious how the 7’1” nearly 300 lb can’t do a thing in the post but Bron just immediately puts dudes in the basket. Yeah bench his ass Kerr. We don’t need him sharing the floor with Bron and Steph.

Give them athleticism and let them cook

One of these day teams are going to realize Brooks is not a winning player.

I mean the Grizz figured it out. They just had way too many injuries this last season.
