KD starting means we're probably going to see Tatum instead of White as his backup imo

LOL Why Curry listed as Shooting guard while the other guards are just guards

If you can't victimize a team that starts Frank Ntilikina, you don't deserve to win.

You clearly have never been to Serbia or any eastern-block country before.

They are celebrating because they are, genuinely happy, it’s beautiful to see rather than someone standing middle court and thrusting themselves.


Jokic would easily care more about winning gold with serbia than an NBA championship...sucks they didn't pull it off.


He’s going home being multi-winning MVP, championship and a bronze medal, to drink beer and be with horses, trust me, he’s happy

Wemby will need to make a lot of threes for France to have a shot and he starts with making his first, a good sign.
