Better see USA come out like a hornets nest that got kicked

Really disappointed Bol wasn't able to hang with Sydney. I was hoping Bol would be able to push her to go sub 50. Happy for Cockrell though that's a hell of a run from her

Seriously, i get that Jokic is good but the rest of Serbia’s team is a bunch of nobodies. No reason for the US to lose to these guys

You may but much of this board hates NBA basketball with the passion of a thousand burning suns so quite a few barely know anything about him despite his domination.

Lots of time and the US will likely pull this out but I saw it as a possibility. In group play the USA was crazy sharp but Serbia still played a very good first half then didn't play well second half. Whether that was intentional rope-a-dope or now we'll never know. You could see if Serbia played two of those halves and the US played a B or C game the US could lose.

True. But just goes to show you how good Jokic is.

It's almost as if each person is an individual.

Big if true...

 

[JP4CY]

Embiid, woof.

 

[isufbcurt]

It's probably


I just find it interesting if you have Covid and you are having trouble breathing that you run out jumping and screaming and fist pumping when you are introduced.

That's his way of being introduced and getting himself pumped up.

Personally I think it's pretty impressive for a guy with Covid and severe asthma to still take the bronze.

 

[GTO]

I can't tell these Serbian players apart.

 

[ISU_Guy]

Whens the Bronze medal mens game?

 

[JP4CY]

The US is one lazy passing team.

Heck the 3rd American almost got Bol

 

[Clonefan32]

This is comically bad basketball by USA. Kerr is a joke.

 

[simply1]

Can we bring Hali in just for someone to pass well

 

[simply1]

Anthony Edwards ain’t Jordan yet

 

[HFCS]

61 points in 3 quarters is atrociously bad offense with this talent.

All the guards can hit threes but only one of them can lead the highest scoring offense in the NBA.

 

[NorthCyd]

Wow, disaster closing out the 3rd. They need a minor miracle now.

 

[simply1]

White with the elite defense

 

[cycloneman003]

Stever Kerr belongs nowhere near team USA. Also Derrick White shouldn't even make a B-team for team USA. Just crazy.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Wow, crazy if we lose this game. Massive choke job.

 

[dafarmer]

Durant can’t hit anything, and defense nonexistent.if you are going to foul, don’t let them get shot off.
