Its still just a better lineup but may have more to do with Embiid than Tatum lol

It doesn't matter if USA doesn't get a gold. As long as Tatum is getting minutes it's all good.

I've never seen Derrick White do anything wrong, ever.

Sometimes he doesn't do something right. But never does it wrong.

Dude, Tatum has the same points as Embiid this game and he's getting minutes now.

lol he got up a few times but I get the frustration from these guys who don’t play especially Embiid who is arguably top 5 and should have been MVP if he was healthy. They all have egos, it’s hard to keep it in check.

I never realized how corny he is until these Olympics games.

I really like him as a studio analyst when its just game analysis.

But as a commentator he's hurting my ears. I think I'd even prefer Reggie, and that's saying something.

Bam has looked amazing all summer. Will be interesting if he plays more 4 in double big lineups with Mia. The heat never had that option b4

The starters only scored 15 points and I'm pretty sure 10 of those are LeBron

Kerr, please stop running Steph off-ball. They can be way more physical with him in the FIBA game and nobody's there to set illegal screens for him. Have him initiate on-ball or in transition

He's most definitely playing the 4 this season. That kid they drafted Ware looks legit.

Feels like both halves the bench will be the one to really grow the lead.

Bench Curry? He really isn’t doing anything if he ain’t shooting well
