I'm rooting for Australia here, love the underdog! You kind of knew this was coming when DeRozan/Lowry/Barnes make the team!

They only made the team because the better plays didn't want to play right?
Westbrook, Harden, etc

I can't imagine turning down an Olympic berth. What an honor. IMO.

But yeah, this is the worst USA team, probably in my lifetime.

Thankfully, Melo came to play. He's on fire.

My point exactly, all of those guys are B team material playing serious minutes.

The Aussies made it a game because of our poor shooting, we look vulnerable.

He was awful, from the 3/4 of the game I saw.

Melo is still that kid tho. Nasty.

Too bad was going for the Aussies. DeRozan/Barnes/Lowry are unreliable trash.

What the heck, was the game televised? The Serbs put-up some points and Denver hit a home run with Jokic as their 41st pick.

Yes,
Do you have anything besides basic cable? If so, there's actually an Olympics Basketball channel, 591 I believe, that just shows Olympics bball 24/7

NBC Sports Olympics app streams all events, literally all. I have it for Apple TV, great stuff.
