Nobody besides Schroeder wanted to shoot. They all got scared. 43 points in the last 30 minutes. Yikes. USA will murder these teams. Serbia is the real final. Best player, best coach.
RE: Olympics 2024 - Mavs2021 - 08-08-2024
Poorly coached game. So many bad decisions. They can´t defend the 3pt line as Japan showed and they turn it over and over on the inside. No pressure on the ball. Nobody on their team can dribble. Canada and Germany played them so dumb. White and Holiday will destroy them with their fullcourt press.
RE: Olympics 2024 - SleepingHero - 08-08-2024
Team USA melting down. Down 13 at the half to Serbia.
Insane given how much talent they have.
RE: Olympics 2024 - Mavs2021 - 08-08-2024
I knew it. Imho Svetislav Pesic is the best coach in the world. Serbia was playing rope-a-dope against Team USA. USA will probably still come back, but there was no way Pesic would show his hand in meaningless friendlies or prelim games. Curry trying to save them.
RE: Olympics 2024 - SleepingHero - 08-08-2024
This is crazy. Where is the coaching??
Bam taking corner 3s for no reason. Embiid is horrible. This is hilarious.
RE: Olympics 2024 - dirkfansince1998 - 08-08-2024
Jokic would probably take team Serbia over his Nuggets supporting cast.
RE: Olympics 2024 - BigDirk41 - 08-08-2024
It was a 6 point game with under 3 minutes in the 3rd and the bench came in and got whipped.
RE: Olympics 2024 - SleepingHero - 08-08-2024
Just like that 5 point game with Jokic in foul trouble.
USA started to feel the pressure.
Now with Embiid in can USA survive those minutes?
RE: Olympics 2024 - SleepingHero - 08-08-2024
EMBIID IS SO BAD
RE: Olympics 2024 - SleepingHero - 08-08-2024
Incredible comeback despite no interior rebounding from the 7ft Embiid.
RE: Olympics 2024 - BigDirk41 - 08-08-2024
Tie game!!!
RE: Olympics 2024 - SleepingHero - 08-08-2024
STEPH CURRY IS INCREDIBLE
RE: Olympics 2024 - BigDirk41 - 08-08-2024
5 point lead US. Time to close it out.
RE: Olympics 2024 - Mavs2021 - 08-08-2024
Wow weirdly Jokic "cost" them the game. 0-7 from three. If he makes the wide open (and I mean wide open) one early in the 4th, it´s a 14 pt lead and probably game, instead the three from the USA with the Jokic foul on Davis that turns into a 6 pt play and cuts it to five points. Crazy shit.
RE: Olympics 2024 - SleepingHero - 08-08-2024
Embiid is so bad
Doesn't deny the Jokic entry pass. Just gives up a 3pt play. Cannot rebound to save his life. Forgets to box out.
But he has a nice post up game though!!!!!!
RE: Olympics 2024 - SleepingHero - 08-08-2024
Steph Curry and KD absolutely stole that game.
Devin Booker played some incredible defense and hit a big 3. Lebron had some good moments, some bad.
Embiid I can't believe he's fooled everyone in Philly.
RE: Olympics 2024 - BigDirk41 - 08-08-2024
Outstanding 4th quarter comeback by the USA! I like how they don't have superstar calls and let everyone play. The game seems much smoother.

Earlier he was, but Embiid helped bring them back. He hit some big shots down the stretch, then Bron, KD, and Curry brought it home.

KD and LBJ stepped up on the boards when Embiid wasn't boxing out. Could have easily picked up 2-3 fouls doing Embiid's job. Luckily the refs allowed a lot of contact against bigger guys like Milutinov.
RE: Olympics 2024 - Knutsen - 08-08-2024
I don‘t know who it was, but when Serbia didn’t hit that wide, wide open three in the middle of the fourth quarter I knew things were turning around for good.
Kudos to the US team for not giving up and tightening the defense, but Serbia could have easily won that game with a solid fourth quarter.
