Do you think there is a team that is a real threat for Team USA to not win the Gold Medal?

This Serbian team looking like a real threat

Still able to dominate France in the 4th quarter without Jokic on the floor

 

[malbaker86]

None whatsoever

 

[T.he I.nformant]

I’ll just say there shouldn’t be

International teams are getting better but this USA team should be a decent favorite in every game

Spoiler

unless injuries hit

Nah that's just an exhibition game...
We're missing both of our good small forwards in Lučić and Kalinić... and Jović just revealed to have broken his ankle, so we're left with Pokuševski on 4...

Bad luck... lineup Avram - Bogi - Lučić - Jović could have covered for Jokić on defense, and finish up on his magic on offense... possibly having at least some chance to beat USA...
Without two of them, it's practically impossible...
You need a certain type of players around Jokić, and we don't have enough of those...



Also, playing two twin tower centers, and not having Jokić for most of the 4th quarter is how we lost the Round of 16 against Italy two years ago, and ended up 9th at Eurobasket...
That is not a good sign...
Some other small ball team shooting their lights out might destroy us again...

Nah but I'd be shocked if we won gold next time when KD, Bron, Steph are gone. shyt maybe even AD won't play the next one I don't got much hope in this gen of American hoopers we arguably don't even got a top 5 player in the NBA that American and not even countin Wemby improvin.

I think the USA is going to run through the comp this year. Might be some games that are somewhat close but i don't expect them to have to much trouble with the field.

Down low is where I fear for the USA in 2028. They’ll be fine on the perimeter
