People are frankly over-analyzing this -- Serbia's guards were hitting 3's at a rate far above their usual averages. Yes, props to them, but that's what can happen in basketball, sometimes everything just falls. That's statistically possible in any ONE game, there's a reason why NBA Championships are a 7 game series. In other words, Team USA took Serbia's BEST possible punch -- and STILL won. That's the takeaway.
Single eliminations is tough. It is like NCAA style hard for any team to always win.. Even good teams and players can have a off night. Sometimes those 1-2 shots will be the results of the game.

It’s not so much how far the world has come but how the game has changed. It’s a shooter’s league, not an athlete’s league. And anyone anywhere can shoot.
That’s why I love basketball. That’s why you play until the last tic has tocked. Keep in mind, the world is sending their best no matter the sport to our colleges for training and returning to their countries. I praise them all. The greater the competition, the higher the bar becomes.
Well yeah the game has changed, but also make sure that Team USA is not partying before GameDay. They got too complacent. That's it. The other teams in the Olympics have more or less played longer and are more together than the USA team.
the problem with this 2024 team is the lack of elite defenders outside of Jrue...with the level of physicality being allowed DPOY/MVP David Robinson, DPOY/MVP GOAT, MVP/All defense Karl Malone with All-World Defense Scottie (and Ewing, Stockton as all defense) would have had 'Serbia and them' locked down.
Serbia’s ball movement, physical defense, & the way they out rebound USA was too much for them in the first 3 quarters. Thank God to Steph for keeping us close early in the game & everybody stepped up in the 4th offensively & defensively. Serbia is definitely the second best in this Olympic basketball tournament!

Will people finally understand how great Steph is? He would have scored 50 if the team needed it to win. Watch his defense, his rebounding, and the huge steal at the end in the 2nd half. Conversely, should LeBron get a triple double worth of assists by passing to Steph who nails a contested 3? Very doubtful. KD stood arounsdlike a 7 year old in the clutch (as he did during his Westbrook days). Yesterday, LeBron was John Stockton feeding the better player: i.e., Steph Curry as Karl Malone.

Yeah eventually a team is gonna figure something out when you play 3 games in like 2 weeks. As soon as team USA figured it out they stopped them though
Serbia shot insanely well for any standards. They were straight-up not missing. Meanwhile Steve Kerr clearly did not draw up any sort of adjustments whatsoever. Game only shifted when Bron, KD, Curry, and Embiid decided not to listen to Kerr's ideas.
Didn't every team play the same amount ? So what's your point.
@@StacyHopkins-h9rmost of the teams play together for years. More continuity
