The officiating, from what I've seen, has been pretty bad across the board. The U.S. isn't the only one benefiting.
Besides the tech's the officiating has been world better than any NBA game
Cousins finally getting called for travels (like 20 of them)
Carries, fouls, everything is being called perfectly. Nobody is getting away with crap, the exception of a couple of missed calls.

Something I noticed is NBA players have skinny legs compared to in the past. Lots of upper body muscle, not strong legs. Thats why soft.

LeBron and Curry shoulda joined this year, then team USA could have gone PG: Kyrie SG: Steph SF: Klay PF: LeBron: C: Green, then they could have taken turns letting the GS guys take over for a bit then CLE guys take over for a bit and just trade back and forth most of the game with that chemistry.
Watching all these Stars trying to fit together is kinda sad, it's like they think they are in another all-star game where D isnt necessary lol

It is so refreshing to see no star treatment, no travels allowed on fast breaks.

If we've played a worse quarter this summer, I can't remember it. Holy crap that was bad. Stunned that we're winning.

19 points looks bad, but Serbia plays very good defense. USA played decent.

Is Durant going to play all 40?
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

So this is what I can never understand about how they call travelling in FIBA on the break -- you can take your two steps after you pick the ball up, but you CAN'T take even a half-step after catching a pass on a dead run.
