lmao no mercy

[Revived]

That was nice by Haliburton.

This is the best the US has looked. I wonder how much of it is Brazil not being that good vs. US also taking elimination play more serious.

[Revived]

Booker’s been top 3 player for team USA and outside of LeBron, he’s been most consistent.

[California Gold]

Does Brazil have money on them covering the spread or something?

[Revived]

It must be kinda awkward for these superstar players to play end of blowout games lol especially when it’s for a game that matters, not like an All Star game or something.

[PushDaRock]

FIBA Bruno is really quite good

[Heat3]

Hero of the games getting serenaded by the home crowd. Nice.

[El Alonzo scowl]

KD now the FIBA record book holder for Team USA, Jokic the GOAT Nugget. Melo's legacy has been erased.

Crazy though how close Vegas still gets with an international game and a 30+ point spread.

[BarbaGrizz]

Is anyone ready to watch Caboclo school Embiid?

30 pts in 20 shots

[RookieStar]

So... the next stage are gonna be rematches then? Same outcome or some surprises?

[SeattleJazzFan]

tatum has been straight trash. pretty clear the olympic stage is too much for him. he shouldn't see another minute. durant and edwards have been too good at that wing spot - no reason for him to see the floor.

guards - jrue/book/curry
wings - bron/kd/edwards
bigs - ad/embiid/bam

that's the nine man rotation we should see in the final two games.

[JasonStern]

Let's be honest. Durant isn't very likeable. But I'm damn glad he's playing for Team USA versus not playing or playing for a competitor.

[cursedsportsfan]

Don’t bet often but USA to cover and Lebron over on his assists felt like easy money. Happy I placed a decent sized wager

[JasonStern]

'Merica needs to annex Canada. They can keep Queubec. SGA deserves better than to be torched by Evan Fournier.

gtfo

Sick comeback!

I don't think Canada even wants Quebec. Enjoy spending the next 4 years on forums explaining that Canada is a hockey country - not a basketball country. Gobert is way underrated defensively. If the Raptors could pick up Fournier, that's a move they have to make. Batum isn't washed. Etc., etc.

I'll just enjoy my 122-87 win.
