That was a really stressful game. Definitely much more entertaining than a normal US blowout.
Joel Embiid 8-for-11 from the field and 2-for-3 from beyond the arc. The worst player? I think not.
Serbia was raining threes. Bogdonavić really wanted that game. Hats off to them. Almost….

What a game. Curry and LeBron were great, and Booker again just played running basketball. Thought Kerr almost blew it with his rotations... Edwards wasn't very good today. Really love what I'm seeing from KD and Book. Let's get that gold!

I'll give it to Serbia... They've played a heck of a game and were nailing everything early on. We shouldn't have dug this hole we're in but pretty cool watching us claw our of it. Shocked Embiid is actually producing.
He heard everybody in here slamming on him.

Serbia deserved that win but deserve's got nothing to do with it. Glad Book and KD hit some shots at the end, LBJ and Curry came thru. Was waiting for the big Curry game since he'd been quiet and he picked the right one to get hot. Our defense and rebounding was awful and Kerr almost blew it with the rotations. I don't think France will be as tough but we'll see.
Huh? Nobody deserves anything. They outplayed the US for three quarters. So what. The US outplayed them in the 4th and "deserved" their win. The game is 4 quarters long. The team that's ahead at the end of the game is the team that "deserved" to win.

Celtic fans are BIG MAD that Tatum didn't get any minutes yesterday. They claim that Team USA would have won going away if he played Book's minutes. Keep in mind, that Book had the 2nd highest +/- on the team that game with +16. They should have been mad at Derrick White for being a -16 in less than 7 minutes, putting up a Ewwwbanks type performance.

Anyone who complains about Booker on this team shows they don’t know basketball.

Honestly I wish Tatum did take some of book and KD’s minutes. All these extra miles on their legs are adding up.

Being mad as f**k about something. Making fun of someone or trying to be annoying.

Nothing funnier than a mom whining to a coach about their kids lack of playing time.

I am loving everything about this Olympic basketball team. The fact that we may be getting a gold, the fact that Book and KD matter on this team, the fact that bitch-ass Tatum isn't getting any minutes, love love love.

Today is the last day any Suns play basketball on tv for awhile, bummer.
