Yabusele had a great game against Canada too. He's improved his lift and touch.

The energy is crazy with him too. Too bad he can’t defend a chair or my sentimental self would be ready to sign him as Al replacement in a year or two and tell Tillman, Kornet, Queta, and their mommas to kick rocks.

Surprised with this result. Always thought Daniel Theis was inevitable in the world stage. Only reason we lost 2022 Finals against the Warriors was 'cos Ime didn't play him 48 mpg.

I didn't notice any bad defensive lapses from him. I'm not sure if you noticed something different though.

If this is true, Yabusele is both a top 10 pick in a redraft and a blown draft pick. Now that's hard to do.

I don't think he was particularly poor defensively today. He had a couple of nice possessions after getting switched on Schröder.

Steph and Book can't keep anyone in front of them. Puts the entire team in rotation to cover for them and Serbia is smart to pass off for easy buckets after the help comes.

edit: Good thing Steph is hot early at least.

Jrue starting and JT off the bench?

Edwards is a mess. But look how he'll statpad when game's already decided.

Serbia pressure defense giving USA fits.

Team USA lucky this is Kerr's last stint as head coach.

Edwards gambles and leaves his man in the corner, reminiscent of fellow Georgia native JB lol. Serbia for 3.

kerr is terrible. completely isolated and humiliated one of his most versatile players (tatum). now if the team really needs him he's likely already mentally out of it in this tournament

Yea it sucks cause he can be so fun to watch but jesus sometimes you wonder wtf is going on in his head :banghead:

Shouldn't even be in this type of hole at any point in the tournament with all this talent. But here we are. Where's Jrue and JT?

They're relying on Edwards to run offense for the second unit, failing badly.

TERRIBLE defensive lineup to start.....IDC what anyone says , it's difficult to beat an opponent three times in a row. Rocky start. wh'os going to step up?!

Good to know he'll be ready for Germany.

The Celtics could've beaten Serbia without Porzingis. Not kidding.
