Triple double for Steph.

Had the refs on their side

USA win by four.

combo of the serbs bottling it towards the end and the yanks playing their best stuff at the end

Serbs didnt bottle anything, wasn't a back-court violation and lost some tough calls.

Did LeBron, Steph and KD ever play in the same US team in their prime? Imagine if the Yanks had those three plus Draymond and Klay in the same team.

What's the basketball term for 'poor finishing'?

Didn't quite make the Bel-grade?

Just admit you don't understand basketball, its OK peks. If a team shoots 12/16 against good defence it isn't bottling.

Serbia did well to give America such a tough game.

Steph and Embiid in that form are unplayable, especially Steph. 9-14 from 3 point, what are you supposed to do?

Isn’t every player in the America squad an All-NBA player from last season? That can’t have happened too often before, if at all.

Can't believe USA made the final. Hope they aren't overwhelmed by the occasion and can win a rare gold medal.

Might be one or two that aren’t.

No Embiid dint make it due to games played, White, Jrue and Adebayo didn't. Howevever those three made all-defence teams.

I actually do want France to beat USA, I didn't like how the black US community looked down on South Sudan before the Olympics

Oh yeah that was it, they were in the all-defence teams. Pretty stacked, would be surprised if they’ve had a squad that has been in those lists in the preceding season.

92 dream team is the only other team that is on a par in terms of talent. But they played against a lot weaker field.

What about the Redeem Team?
