France has missed 3 wide open 3's and a wide open layup. USA defense still sucks. I'm not counting anything yet

Some 3s missed vs. made and some TOs to clean up. Well within striking range. Les Blues have to get their feet under them.

I dont know what Kerr is looking at. Embiid when Rudy is in, AD/Bam/Tatum against Wemby and their hustle guys. If they US starts hitting wide open threes this game is over

Lmao Fournier had two easy mismatches in the paint with Wemby guarded by 6’4 Holliday and someone else small guarding Gobert and he chucks up a horrible shot against AD haha

Bam needs to play, Embiid isn’t ready or in the right mindset for this kind of game

Looking like it’ll be a blow out if the shots go down. France can’t get an easy shot in half court.

Wade's monotone mumbling is almost unbearable. Sounds like he just got up from a nap.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

He's the teams leading scorer, playing off the bench. What exactly do you think his job on the team is?
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

The first two minutes of Wembanyama told me a lot: despite his young ago not afraid of the moment, rises to the occasion. If there was any doubt; he's going to be great.
