You can always count on one thing with Rubio, he will make his free throws.

Spain has way less talent than in the past , but we clearly know how to compete when needed ..

As soon as Serbia faces a good team with good defense we are seeing them getting destroyed. Totally overhyped team with two stars in Jokic and Bogdanovic. Spain has less star potential, but they do have good players.

No way this Serbia team wins to USA. To me Spain and Australia are the two teams who may have chance.

Never underestimate the heart of the champion. They might win another medal.

This isn't Serbia is losing, this is humiliation. They're getting clapped by +20 points, Jokic losing his mind out there. People downplaying this is hilarious

They're lucky this isn't an elimination game because they've been exposed today.

I've heard people tell me this Serbia team could challenge USA's best team LMAO. Man are out of control. They're lucky US brought their E team here with Joe Harris and them going 2/10 from outside, otherwise it would be funeral for them man.

Can't wait for Argentina to pepper this man. I'll be here on your necks!

Both these teams should thank their lucky stars that the best Euro team is not even playing in this tournament...

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.

Since when does Jokic get superstar calls?

Before this game, Jokic was lighting up this tournament and everybody was hyping up Serbia and saying they’re better than USA. Now they’re getting exposed so people are pivoting to “Serbia can’t win without superstar calls”.

:lol:

Spain has Marc, Rubio, hernangomez brothers, 4 nba players, rudy exnba material, llull top euroleague player. Serbia has Jokic, and Bogdanovic and several scrubs, and that's what we are watching today. A Blowout.

Man Bogdan is good, I was wrong about him, I thought Korkmaz had more upside. Obviously, Bogdan was miles better than Korkmaz when they both joined the NBA, but I saw Bogdan as just below average master of nothing NBA player. Boy, he looks like upcoming all-star.

Doesnt change the fact that Spain got blown out by 20+ in semis and Serbia got beaten in the finals when Slovenia was playing without Doncic and Dragic in the 4th. As I said, officially the best Euro team at the moment is not playing here. Both of these weak teams are lucky.

Serbian guards outside Bogdan are booty. I can see why these man are lamenting Teodosic not being here, even though he's 37 and can't guard a pack of cigarettes, at least dude plays with some composure. Man like Jovic and Micic wouldn't last 10 seconds in the NBA.

Teo is injured.

We are making comeback in 4th if we stay with small lineup.

Must be the first time in my life I see a Serbian side shoot badly from 3. And now it got in their heads and they avoid shooting altogether, instead trying to take it to the hoop every single time, which is not their game. They just need to make a couple of 3s and they'll be fine.
