    Doing this at 39 is wild. Also, AD looks great, but just picked up his 2nd foul and they’re reviewing it for an “unsportsmanlike” foul because Mo Wagner flopped hard

    Embiid looks better this game though, he’s getting easy looks at the rim, and he just blocked the s*** out of Bonga on a drive leading to an Ant dunk on the other end.

    Ok I take it back about Embiid :D, his defense is hurting us right now, he keeps leaving their bigs wide open for threes

    Germany up by 2 and Kerr is doing absolutely nothing
    P.S by 5 after Wagner FT.
    Germany won 3 quarter by 10

    To be fair I’m not sure what Kerr can do when they make 13 threes and we make 5. We are not a good shooting team from deep. LeBron taking over a bit now, back to back layups and then 2 free throws, 87-82 USA with 3:20 to go.

    LeBron with a huge 3 and then a bully ball layup, 92-86 USA, absolutely took over, only negative was 2 missed free throws.

    See what happens when Lebron doesn't play 40 minutes before the last 5 minutes of a game?

    I get they are waiting for Durant to get healthy.Serbia destroyed Greece
    Australia beat France,so it's not a surprise if South Sudan will be in a final.

    Really agree with the sentiment that the two best players so far have been AD and LeBron.

    Embiid is f***ing awful on defense.
    A lot of these guys just are so careless with possessions including Edwards, curry. So many this will look great if it goes in but they could have got something a lot easier.

    What is going on when Lebron at 39 needs to carry this team. Amazing but kind of scary: they need another PG they can trust to run offense. Curry is playing more like a SG and I don't think Halliburton is ready yet.

    We need to develop our youth though, so no putting a championship caliber core around him and AD. Sorry, gotta make way for that youth.

    Durant should definitely help a lot too.
