Half game to go; lots of things still can happen..

My opinion hasn’t changed at all and I still see them as the most talented team in the tournament


talent wise, USA has to be always the best team imo

Not my opinion
IMO - FIBA rules and this USA team has less talent than Serbia.

i think it's gonna be very easy.These 2 groups were ridiculously easy.I'm not sold on Argentina at all.Serbia front court will eat them alive.

Where are the Jokic haters? :D

His passing ability is getting exposed in a smaller more congested court where there's less space player movement. And now he's getting frustrated and is jebing mater to the referee because he can't handle adversity.

If this was Giannis people would be demanding his head on a silver platter.

Yep, it's not the NBA Nikola. You can't scream at the referee like that.

What are you even talking about? Jokic totally dominated this tournament so far, before this game he was shooting 83% from the floor. :lol:

Lol Jokic is still a baby. Aint doin jack squat without his superstar calls and NBA spacing and rules.

Also a huge lol at people here who suggested that Serbia could challenge let alone beat 2008 Spain. That Spanish team would blow them out in 3 quarters.

That said, Serbia is still one of the teams to beat in this tournament.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Such garbage opinion. There were numerous stats from last season that showed he spent the most amount in the paint with the most touches, and got way fewer foul calls than Embiid and Towns (if I remember correctly). If anything, he still doesn't get the respect of the refs.
