I'm not sure USA wins this.

South Sudan can bother them all over the court.

Man, Jrue Holiday is such a menace on the ball. I love Halliburton but he gets lost on defense way too often.

 

[JP4CY]

This Jones is a player.

 

[JP4CY]

USA bigs in general love to shoot from the perimeter when they could dominate in the paint.

 

[Rabbuk]

I saw this listed as usa -45.5 lol

I'm sure a bunch of people just looked at "South Sudan" and assumed they were no good. Almost their entire roster played D-1.

Louisville, Kentucky, Baylor, Virginia/Iowa State, Auburn, Iowa, UL-Monroe, Detroit

 

[HFCS]

I’m sure it’s just me but when LeBron and AD are out there simultaneously it’s almost too much like being a Laker fan for me to enjoy.

Shayok has probably been nba level his entire career. The short time he played G league he dominated it at a ridiculous level.

 

[BigJCy]

Wow, some of these Sudan guys playing out of their ass today.

 

[JP4CY]

SS with more effort today by a mile.

 

[BigJCy]

LeBron may bail them out today. Kind of sad we need a 40 year old to have to do that.

 

[pulse]

Shayok for the win? That would be hilarious.

 

[HFCS]

wow all the shots SSudan hit and they miss that bunny

 

[JP4CY]

USA needs to take SS out for dinner.

 

[Rabbuk]

Jt Thor is one of the worst nba players I've ever seen somehow has a pretty good game against an NBA all star team.

 

[madguy30]

I saw this listed as usa -45.5 lol

I thought I heard the guys say 43 1/2 but was trying to hear '23 1/2'.

Not Olympics related but felt right to put it in here.

So does Embid. Badly.

 

[BigJCy]

And now we are losing to Germany in the late 3rd Qtr. by 5.

 

[GoHawks]

So does Embid. Badly.

Embid was atrocious defensively against Sudan. I'm not sure Kerr is right gut for USA job. I liked when Coach K was running the show though I'm not a fan of his any other time. FIBA Is closer in style to college basketball than NBA and I think next coach should come from college game personally

 

[enisthemenace]

Is Haliburton hurt? He only played about 5-10 mins against S Sudan and last I saw, he wasn’t playing in this one. Maybe he’s seen some run since I last saw, but he certainly hasn’t been getting a lot of time lately.
