Continuity is the advantage other programs have. USA already has a bit of it with this trio. Could've gone with White-Jrue-JT-Lebron-AD for Team Celtics-Lakers reps.


My only thought is that they must had looked awful together in practice. It’s too obvious.

It’s personal between Kerr and Tatum. No question about it now

We talkin' about practice?!?! They looked pretty good in the 100+ regular season and playoff games they had together.

I don't care if Steph drops 40. Get a clue Kerr and quit riding your boy when he's getting cooked!!

With LeBron and AD.

But yes, I’m sure there is another combo that could had worked. The Celtics 3, KD, and Bam probably would be amazing. Let KD cook while the rest defend.

Embiid actually come to play some today. Love the intensity and it's weird to root for him. I'll need to take a shower after to remove this dirty feeling.

Just don't bring in Ant, and they might have a chance.

Durant/Ant/Booker have been abysmal all game and still zero minutes for Tatum. What are we even doing here?

Anyway, whatever the result, hats off to Serbia for making the most of this opportunity. Their 3-pt shooting accuracy/luck couldn't have come at a better time.

Not one of Derrick's brightest moments -- giving up a silly 4-pt play.

Doesn’t look like Serbia is going to start missing their threes.

Tatum and Brown certainly won’t lack motivation coming into next season. The disrespect is profound

Serbia hasn't lost a Q yet. USA in serious trouble.
