Holiday has been the second best player for Team USA all tournament and it hasn't been close.

Lillard playing like he trying to force a trade to Slovenia

Also, I think it's pretty clear that Holiday is Team USA's 2nd best player in this tournament.

Lillard is lost without the hash marks on the sideline. Logo Lillard doesn't know where he is on the court.

I would second this. He's doing a ton of positive things on both ends.

Australia's offensive sets are very nice

That holds true for majority of perimeter players in the NBA. It's why the NBA has become a guards game.

the same Dame who always disappoints in playoffs. 8-)

Aussies really missing Baynes now

Book has showed up nicely today

Corner threes have been open all half for the US, wtf is Australia’s defensive strategy?

Bro it’s not fair, you can’t expect Lillard to be as good as Delly because Delly knows his team mates better.

LaVine taking a flight.

They finally stopped messing around and decided to put these mangy dingos down for good. They’ll always have Vegas.

nice dunk

The spot up 3s are finally falling. Not sure what happened to that swarming defense the Boomers had in the 1st. They had a hand in the face on every 3pt shot and just gave Tatum 10ft of space.
