Unless France magically catch fire from three and the refs do their home cooking this game is over.

Wow, the next time I feel inclined to complain about NBA refs, I just need to rewatch this game. These refs are so bad it's downright painful.

Yeah has a handful of dimes and solid effort on defense.

Tatum going home as the 3rd best Celtic player. Yikes.

These refs are disgusting, the only reason this game is still within reach. The only reason these French scrubs made it past Japan as well.

USA will run away with this, but this shows actual rules and how basketball should be played.

That guy Yabusele is a monster out there. He is all over the glass and that boom he had on LBJ - whew, that was embarrassing for the king. Risk of taking a charge instead of going for the block LMAO.

They're sending 1.5 to a full double on every post up. It's ridiculous. Darvin Ham defense.

That PF from France is definitely getting an NBA contract. What a performance in the olympics

Does Embiid start the third. All of that talk the last two days I thought he would show up big. But he is coming up small. I thought that’s why he is on this team go against the premier bigs of Europe

You think Boston regrets giving up on Yabusele? He could definitely comeback to the NBA.

Yes but only because he randomly has stretches where he catches fire from 3. He’s a horrible defender though and does nothing else to effect the game, so when he has games like tonight where he can’t throw it in the ocean, he’s literally worthless to his team.

Who wins the medals??
