STOP IT.
HE ABSOLUTELY SUCKED IN THAT TORONTO SERIES.
SHOT ABOUT 37%FG.
WHY IN THE HELL YOU
SITTING HERE ACTING
LIKE HE DOESN'T GET AS MANY TOUCHES
AS HE WANTS?
THEY RUN THE WHOLE
OFFENSE THROUGH HIM.
WHERE WAS HE IN GM 7 VS BOSTON 2023?
I’m not that high on Flagg like that
He’s gonna be good for sure but I dont think he’s generational and all that. I comp him to a Scottie Barnes level. I don’t think he will be better than Chet or PaoloI don’t see a 34 year old Embiid playing

Spain trash
Greece trash
Canada no bigs
Serbia with older joker
Luka team trash
France only hope to challenge them
But all their best players are rookies

Chemistry is so important too. I'm positive KD having been on teams with Curry and Booker was so critical to them not breaking at the end.
Sometimes players feel like they got to take it themselves and not defer, but when you know you got a KD on your team you trust they can make the play.
KD/Curry/Booker know when to give/take w/ each other. I really think that was such a big factor in that last quarter as was LeBron's history with KD.
There's no guarantee LeBron/KD/Curry/Tatum works better because Tatum doesn't have the years of familiarity with the others. Like the decision LeBron had to pass it to Booker who passed the ball to LeBron and LeBron made the decision to pass it to Curry for the lead. There's no telling if Tatum decides to shoot it instead or drives it. Those guys did a really good job limiting mistakes and forcing the other team into more.
The lineup was the lineup: Curry, Book, KD and LeBron played all 10 minutes that 4th quarter and they're the ones who came back with Embiid.

I think what a lot of people are forgetting is that it's rare for our bench NOT to show up
People talking about Steph's D. He got D when it matters
praying for a lossI REP ISRAEL, NOT AMERICA
France gotta hope that somebody besides Wemby pans out
Whether it be Traore, Risacher, Sarr, Coulibaly, Salaun, etc.
Spain in their prime were the biggest threat we’ve had and they also had two all stars surrounded by quality role players
