Get embiid in for a retaliatory shot at somebody. That was a damn body check on White.

Offense been looking rough so far in general but at least the 2nd unit is playing great defense.

There's no way the Celtics should have Derrick White for $18 mil a year along with all those other all-stars. That kind of ticks me off.

Bench saving the day
Point of attack defense is vital. Jrue/White make a massive difference. Then you add that Curry and Tatum can't hit a jumper and it feels like a no-brainer.

Reffing is so in favor of the Americans it's not even close. Like 10 undeserved FTs for the LeMericans.

How I felt as a mavs fan. White and Jrue provided such a complete team versus what the mavs had to go through in the west.

Kerr should go with the Bam/AD frontcourt with KD there if he wants to blow out South Sudan. He won't though.

Embiid should not see 1 minute of this game. South Sudan doesn't have a traditional center out there.
