Old Going For Gold: USA Men's Olympic Basketball - Next Up The Main Event vs France (8/10 @ 3:30pm ET)

[havoc]

I don't want to hear anything about this team being the GOAT. This game should have never been this close.

It ain't their fault. Serbia was jacking up threes and were making them efficiently in the first half. Luckily, Steph shots kept Team USA in the game.

 

[King Jove]

How much of the media do you think was secretly rooting for Serbia?

Libsoftiktok and Endwokeness had the drafts ready.

We saw what that is gonna look like last summer when they lost to Lithuania, Germany, and Canada

that roster was awful

 

[MicIsGod]

where would they be without book and Kd The
Glue

Joker's wrist injury broke his 3 going back to last year. Without the threat of splashing from outside at 40% he goes from nearly impossible to guard to just difficult. Embiid and the help they sent did great jobs.

And Joker just cannot guard Embiid. Even without 4 fouls. Props to Joel for being aggressive. Big time buckets.

Serbs played their absolute best but those 3s finally stopped falling. That last wide open one from the lefty would've been crushing. But only so long fake Serbs could pretend.

And don't forget Book - was pressuring the hell out of the ball and hit that huge 3.

Amazing 4th for the home team

Yea I gotta give Booker a salute

Breh was playing his ass off

Tatum is such a mismatch for everyone in FIBA (and in the NBA) and Kerr refusing to play him is one reason why these games have been close.

U telling me u can’t find 5 minutes for tatum

Breh, the talent on this team should not allow them to be in close games like this. Yes Serbia was making a lot of shots but they were also playing harder than Team USA. Also didn't help that Team USA looked like they never ran an offensive play in their lives.

Weren't two of the top 3 picks in the draft from France? France could be a problem with Wemby and Co. in the future....

 

[Controversy]

If I'm Tatum, there's no way I commit to the 2028 Olympic team

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

I wonder what US dominance is gonna look like after old man curry, James, and Durant retire

They’ll win gold again and people will say “Team USA will be in big trouble when Antman, Tatum, Zion, and Ja retire”

 

[Regular_P]

That's the first time I can remember Embiid putting a team on his back offensively to lead a comeback in a big game. He missed too many rebounds but he was sensational on offense and got the US back in the game.

That's what we've been wanting to see from him in the playoffs. I wonder if this has an influence on him going forward for the Sixers.

 

[Walt]

I need the story on Melo vs Bogey

Any combination of Bam/AD/Booker.... they are all playing like shyt.
