    those Steph explosisons are much more fun when he's on the team you're rooting for lol.

  • That was still insanely cool though. The three best players of their generation, and they all came through when it mattered, and we needed all of it to win. Steph with a patented Curry flurry to

Jesus, Adam Silver is the most villainous looking motherfucker in sports. Nosferatu in the flesh. Any public appearance should be prefaced with an apology.
Saw him up close at the game where Jokic got his MVP trophy. He looks worse in person.

He looks just like my wife’s uncle when he was undergoing chemo.  Doppelgängers. Looking like someone going through chemo is not something I would aspire to.

The USA avoids the 2nd and 3rd best teams (imo Canada and Germany) until the finals, although they do potentially face Serbia for the third time in round two (although Australia might not be an easy out for them), which may or may not be tricky

Germany
Greece

France
Canada

Serbia
Australia

USA
Brazil

These games are on Tuesday

Brazil should be a Tatum game due to Brazli being a great offensive rebounding; their only shot is hitting a ton of threes and getting extra possessions from offensive rebounds

Ants 23rd bday is today, so if he’s sluggish tomorrow that’s why.

Hope he doesn't stay up all night with the ping pong team.

Don’t give him any ideas….

Nobody has to give him that idea. He's already got it.

Germany knocked off Greece as expected. They might be who we see in the finals

Australia is up on Serbia early, 33-17 right now. I think Australia would be a considerably easier game for the US, although the US obviously should beat either team

Let's just get past Brazil first.

Not too worried about that one

Serbia got the lead down to a more manageable 12 at the half

The Boomers have a competitive roster, especially so with the international version of Mills showing up again in the 1st half. They lack bigs, but can pressure on the perimeter. I think that overall they are a tougher out for the US than Serbia if they win.

Damn - Serbia was down 24?

They've cut it to 4.

Serbia can still get a good shot on any given possession because of Jokic, and they might have had the US in trouble in the first matchup in group play had KD not gone nuclear 

Mills went off in the first half of this game, but he'd been terrible in the previous three games. He also can't guard anyone on the US

And now Serbia is only down one point

The Boomers do not have a reliable option on offense. It’s great to play such good defense, but it doesn’t matter when you completely dry up on the other end. Giddey has got to develop his perimeter game A LOT. No real news there though. I would take the US by 15-20, perhaps more, depending upon the rotation Kerr decides to use in the semi-final if it is Serbia. Still gotta take out these Cariocas and friends, but I see no way this team loses when they are all focused. 

This game is a sloppy slop fest 

Awful from Patty. I'm so glad I don't have to watch him on the Spurs anymore.

Yeah he redeemed himself. 

Canada should beat France rather easily, although maybe Wemba can make it a contest 

Canada making a fucking mess of this one.

I know we've already beaten them twice, but giving the best player on the planet another chance should pose a challenge. Maybe they just play Joker all 40 minutes.

Just now tuning in.. 55 combined FT attempts in this one? Yeesh 

Oh man.. terrible major call in favor of France

Gotta be a little weird for Gobert, as the 4x DPOY, to be teammates on his national team with another center who, at 20, is already a more versatile defender than him. And obviously 100x more offensively skilled. 

France shot 42 free throws in this 40 minute game

Canada shot 25, to combine for 67. Woof.

He’s supposed to feel weird a literal alien surpasses him as one of the country’s best basketball players it has ever produced? I’m sure he saw the writing on the wall 4 years ago

Sure, but defense was at least still supposed to his thing. Now he's a completely redundant spare.

He is? Oh. News to me

I was wrong, no Tatum in the first ten 

Other than maybe Ant's space cadet off-ball defense/rebounding at times, the second unit defense has no holes

Like that dumb foul he just committed?

Tatum is in at 2-guard right now, with a KD-Bam-AD front court

Tatum shouldn't get another iso for the rest of the Olympics. Absolute black hole.

Embiid and Curry combo gives the offense two things to pick at. Steph one on one, and Embiid in drop 

The shorter three point like suits Embiid

Embiid's demise has been greatly exaggerated.

Noteworthy that the US is doing all of this with KD only having two points
