For the best. Tatum starting too.

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


I'm sure Jrue will end up playing lots still.

I just think the bench needs some on-ball creation and Curry and Durant would kill

Better starting lineup. Rather have Jrue over Booker, but to each its own.

AD for Embiid was necessary. Joel is so slow, he just looks heavy.

The absurdity of your bench creators being Curry and KD. Just insane.

South Sudan is like the Jay Bilas dream team in terms of all these tall lanky guys with massive wingspans.

Same thing in the 90s for NBC and its sister channels. Great NBA broadcasts, not that good on the Olympic basketball.
