JT with a blah game so far.

Curry going nuclear in this half keeping USA afloat.

Davis flat out dominating in defense. He and Curry main reasons Team USA has a double digit lead heading into halftime.

It s gotten to a point where I expect Tatum to miss everytime he takes a 3.

Tatum's been a disaster. Holiday did well in his stint.

The best solution to that would be to put the the 3 Cs in there with Steph and Davis. That team could roll.

Okay, bring JB in for KD and play the C's with Davis--even better.

Lebron doing what he's doing at his age is some sell-your-soul-to-the-Devil stuff.

Tatum looks phenomenal.

He’s better than Paul Pierce

What they have to do is send Embiid home.

Jrue is the King of the Slot Cut and it's changed my life as a Celtics fan.

I only got to watch the 2nd quarter and the start of the 3rd, but the defense was much better than previous games. I'm assuming the defense early was pretty trash just based on them getting behind on the scoreboard, but AD and Bam need to play more than Embiid. He iso's like he's on the Sixers, and really slow on both ends of the court compared to how the rest of the team is trying to play.

An anonymous source in the article complains about selfishness, and that bit has been picked up in articles and tweets elsewhere.

Troll fail.

Pierce's foray into international play was a calamity.

Impressive. Mechanically slicker than Tatum's famed pass to Horford; the dazzle in that one was how long it had been since he looked toward the spot where the pass would ultimately go.

Looks like it. Doesn’t look comfortable out there with any shot outside the paint. Feels like it’s been going on for months now
