South Sudan beating Serbia

It takes a whole avengers team for AD and Bron to beat Jokic

Funny thing is the only time Team USA made ground on Serbia was against lineups he wasn't on.

Its not easy carrying a team to the finals and then having to turn around and play in the Olympics.

Guys like Bron, Kobe and KD were in a different tier.

JRUE/White's roles are still the same and didn't exert as much energy all playoffs.

That nikka didn’t carry them to no damn Finals

Jokic dropping 35 on Sudan

Don't know if they have anyone strong enough to stop his sumo ass

No question. He did it for us.

Haliburton is practically useless on this team so I get it but Tatum being left out of the rotation is crazy. Kerr gotta find minutes for him somewhere.

Credit to those guys for swallowing their pride and still supporting their teammates though. A perfect example of why Jaylen's whiny ass was left out.

Funny thing is the only time Team USA made ground on Serbia was against lineups he wasn't on.

Seeing how rotations were, I would assume that KD (most efficient) came in when Jokic went out, and Embiid (least efficient) was in when Jokic was in.
Simply put.

Gotta go deeper than those stats to understand when and why US dominated certain periods.

 

[Brozay]

And?

Ain't he the MVP????


I know you white, but cmon

I don’t know what you really expected him to do? He also went against the 3 best defensive bigs in the world outside those two Frenchmen.

 

[Adebisi_Said]

Real talk why Tatum aint get any minutes..

The Coach is still bitter.

another Embiid vs Jokic matchup

another Jokic L

Not because of Embiid

 

[mbewane]

Olynpic KD might be >> Olympic Melo

Aint KD the best Team USA scorer already?

 

[GilSho]

I hate that the Celtics have all these high IQ players.

White, Jrue, Horford, Pritchard, Hauser and the best/perfect 3rd option in Basketball with Porzingis. Meanwhile Embiid is apparently a bum because he didn't win with Tobias, Oubre, Buddy Hield and 38 year old Batum.
