I love watching Jokic play. Puerto Rico can't do anything with Serbia right now.

So much truth stated in this review, explains a lot of what everyone is seeing.

Jokic needs 1 assist to be the 4th man in the history of the Olympics with a triple double, but he will likely sit out the rest of the game.

what a joke

Since the beginning of the Olympics, home cooking has ALWAYS been a thing, especially in sports where there is subjective judging like gymnastics, or boxing. Just look up Roy Jones Jr in 1988 Olympics in Seoul.

Fairly unimpressed with Bogdanovic. Other than being a good shooter, what else does he really do well? Has a tendency to hold onto the ball, doesn't make quick reads and doesn't get to the rim. Avramovic looks like a much more impactful player.

Damn, so close to history! 14/15/9 in 23 minutes is nuts.

He sat too much in the 2nd quarter when Serbia was still not too far,

This big win could very well mean Serbia’s rematch with the US happens in the gold medal round.

He chose Sombor Double instead.

With all due respect I'm tired of beating Serbia. It's clear we are just better. Would love to see a more competitive matchup.

AD with the start

cdubbz · Post #516 » by **cdubbz** » Wed Jul 31, 2024 7:00 pm

NEW starting lineup!!! Tatum & AD in. Embiid & Jrue OUT.

Much better lineup Mr. Kerr, good work.

I would've swapped Curry out instead of Holiday but it's Kerr so

Can I genuinely ask, does Embiid even want to be here? Man has his hands in his pockets for the anthem, and then just rushes to his seat on the end of the bench whilst the rest of the team is supporting each other.
