It's hard to play same team 3 times within a few weeks.Buy despite coaching and hot shooting Serbia lost
i think germany can definitely beat serbia. they played 3.5 perfect quarters today. ran out of gas at the end; zero threes in the 4th after 15 through three. steph, lebron, kd delivering at the big moments. booker and embiid did some nice things, too. edwards almost cost the team the game by himself, imo. edit: and yeah, when the serbians poked the bear in the first half...just not a good strategy. jokic knows better, but his teammates were idiots.
Seeing those guys play that hard in that 4th quarter comeback literally brought tears to my eyes. I love the USA, and I especially love watching Jokic take an L after the past two seasons against us.
Serbia lost the game when Bogdanovic passed up the wide open 3 up 2 . Team USA can't defend though . France defense is ELITE but Team USA will win gold . PS : Wemby on offense sucks BIG TIME
just can't trust the non big 3. (booker was really good as well ) My man crush: Jrue f***ed up two fast breaks Embiid went on scoring rampage then basically forgot how to rebound/play defense and turned the ball over off his foot in crunch time ant man was f***ing horrible - stop f***ing gambling on defense team USA! The short 3 point line means is that the other team gets a wide open and much easier 3 when you don't get the steal Can't say enough of Lebron/Curry/Durant - hell of a finish by those 3. Lebron had to step on D and the glass and Curry/Durant were awesome shooting.
man I've always had a soft spot for Bogdanovic - been pining him to be paired with Reaves for a long time
That was a bad showing for team USA, but they should still win the gold. I would not be surprised if Germany beats Serbia for the bronze.
LeBron make some history. LeBron James got a triple double at the Olympics in Paris. He scored 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the winning match of the 1/2 finals of the Olympic tournament against Serbia (95:91). This is the fourth triple double in the history of the Olympic Games and the second for LeBron.At the 2012 Olympics in London, LeBron scored 11 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists in a match against Australia. In addition to James, only Alexander Belov (23 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists in the match for the USSR against Canada in 1976) and Luka Dončić (16 points, 10 rebounds, 18 assists in a match for Slovenia against France in 2021). Thus, James became the only player in the history of the Olympic Games to get second triple double.
