Come on. Curry was great in one game. Good today. Lebron has been the best player.

LeBron has ran the whole offense and is playing hustle defense.

Curry is #2 playing SG

Curry was bad until last game. OTOH, USA continues to have no offensive plan when LeBron is on the bench.

Exactly. People have the memories of gnats here. There was like a 10 page thread a couple days ago here asking why Curry is playing so bad in the Olympics lol

Why was Serbia's game so early today? Were they just trying to empty the arena in between games to sell more tickets?

THE game, US wasn't challenged until the semis.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
