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

[im not you]

Ja is an elite play maker and great passer. His game will be fine in FIBA

his game is predicated on getting to the rim in a league with a defensive 3 second rule

in fiba teams can park their bigs inside and the refs are more lenient with handchecking and contact. couple that with ja being a streaky shooter, he will probably have trouble adjusting

I think he’s gonna have to win another chip before they give him another. But who knows

Yeah I think Jokic is in that Giannis phase of where he's gonna have the numbers to justify it but they may not give him another unless they chip again.

Jamal is starting to worry me. As is Joker's wrist. That 3 point shot is no longer a weapon. Sadly, I think his reign at that level is done.

Team USA needed a thrilling comeback to take down Serbia and reach the gold medal game in Paris

Who minutes he taking?

And don't type...just a couple of minutes here and there

Should have took Ant's minutes in the 2nd half

On a side note, Bogdanovic gives zero fukks.
Need to get his ass out of Atlanta. Get him to contender. Dude is fearless

He's a different player in Fiba and the Olympics than he is in the NBA.

Are we blaming Kerr for the win now?

I like Kerr, NBA guys do not need to always be like NFL coordinators. But relying on the strategy of him just having better shooters than the other team was really unnecessary today. With an actual game plan, specially a defensive game plan and slowing shyt down plan, it wouldn’t have been as close as it was. US didn’t shoot bad. They played badly as a team, brehs were playing like iit was 1 minute left and down 9 for like 3 quarters straight

The rotation of the ball after the shot is beautiful

He’s still the best player in the league without the 3 point shot. But yeah he needs Jamal to not fall off a cliff. He’s kinda looked like post injury John wall since that late season injury.

Joker is still amazing. But without that 3 he goes from lethal weapon to dangerous. Still great, just not unguardable. He just finished shooting 26% from 3 in the playoffs. And that wrist is often wrapped or in a brace on the bench. If he had his shot right, Serbia being up 13 going into the 4th would've been death for Team USA.
