Would be funny if it ended up as fake comeback ala Celtics 2023.

BTW, weird FIBA rule. USA just scored 6 pts in less than 10 secs in a single possession.

Embiid is horrible at rebounding.

The semis have been amazing. No horse in the race so it's not stressful to watch like the NBA playoffs lol.

Dumb coaching and awareness. If you were gonna foul, foul with 25 secs left in the clock.

I can’t believe USA won that. But the US started clamping down the defense in Serbia, started missing threes

Terrible rotations, lucky to move on…. Booker, Curry, Edward’s, Bron, Embiid was an ugly defensive lineup. Kerr favoring most of the west coast players. No clue why Booker sees the floor over JT, unreal. Jrue ran the court well, but other the that the. C’s players were a non factor. A few minutes from being an embarrassment and fight for the Bronze lol

Tatum another DNP. Really bad rotations from Kerr but the USA luckily survived.

What a weird world where Yabu is almost certainly going to have more minutes, points, boards, 3’s and assists than JT in Olympic gold medal match. On a team with Gobert and Wemby nonetheless. Sadly, Fournier could top him at least a few of those categories too. Yeah it’s not all about the counting stats, but still I wouldn’t haven’t guessed any of that coming into the Olympic season.

Psycho Joe better use this disrespect to JB and JT as motivation to win the next 3 NBA championships.
