Australia gonna finally get that USA monkey off their back unless something drastically changes. I mean from the opening tip they've dominated this one.

USA has no **** idea what they're doing on either end of the floor.

It sure would be nice if the team had an actual PG or center on the roster.

I'm enjoying this as much as any non-American but way too much reverse jinxing here

Just look at Tatum moving off the ball. Totally loafing at half speed.

This is the worst USA team I’ve seen in my lifetime, even the 2004 team at least had Duncan.

Spain depends on 41yo Paul Gasol, who despite hitting 2 threes was outrebounded for 4-5 offensive rebounds in the span of a quarter and in the end their execution was terrible expecting Rubio to hit clutch shots.

I disagree.
Right now i would rank the favourites to win Gold like this:
Slovenia
Spain
Australia
USA

The two best teams just went head to head. They very well might be meeting again in the finals.

Been wrong about Spain though!

If the USA had Zion, he'd just be going over fools.

Team USA would be a lot better with Duncan Robinson

The USA looks like the team of the street ballers playing against organized pro basketball team, still so much talent on that team but can't play good team basketball.

I'd be shocked if the US pulls this one out. Australia's defense is so much better it's not even funny (like they move together as one unit), and they almost never settle for isos even as the clock is winding down.
