I agree, except ad is three tip toes away from a broken spine everyday he wakes up and walks around. He's the Lakers number 1 option, and I would be livid if he got injured in Olympic play.
The fact that KD had that performance coming off of the bench and fresh off of an injury makes it even more impressive. He will be important for them going forward. South Sudan is where they will have a chance to prove themselves a bit more and gain a bit of redemption. I think they'll go into that game with a much better approach than they did in their last meeting. Besides that, it's stupid that many people are already using Tatum's lack of PT in the game to tear him down. Tatum has already shown that he is willing to sacrifice in service of winning, so I don't see what the hell that is about.
@@yahirzavala-nm9ur Exactly Some people were saying that they were weak cause they didn't blowout South Sudan. They didn't play their best and still won against the team that did play their best. How does that make them weak? That's actually not good for South Sudan
AD has to start against Canada or France for sure! I'm still nervous about Wemby , but Embiid did drop 70 on him last season, we good to go , until the gold medal game
Literally every game I see our whole dynamic change when embid goes to the bench. I’m happy he’s playing for us and not another country but he has to be benched. Jrue Curry Kd Lebron Ad It’s that simple
America's victory is not impressive. The city of New York has two million more inhabitants than Serbia, and Serbia would beat the New York national team by fifty points. It is the same as if the country of Serbia competed with a small village. The national team of the Balkan countries with Giannis, Doncic and Jokic would destroy the national team of America even though they have five times less population than America. Jokić does not have a single top NBA player in his team, so 26 points is an extremely small difference.
Just wanted to encourage you to keep up your Olympic basketball coverage. I think a lot of people like me can't watch all of the games but are looking for an unbiased breakdown of everything that happened so your content is very much appreciated.

It's unfortunate but I watched the highlights in a foreign language, did even pay attention to what language it was! Sad that olympic highlights can't be uploaded to UA-cam for Americans living abroad!
I think Team USA realizes how close they were to losing to South Sudan in their last meeting and will go in with a much different approach. South Sudan was able to knock down 3s in that game due to USA's lackadaisical defense. I don't see that happening twice. I think it will come down to defense, though.
Id rather seen Jaren Jackson Jr play on team USA over Embiid. Id rather seen Paul George or Jimmy Butler play for team USA over Tatum. Lastly I'd rather seen Eric Spoelstra or Greg Popovich coach the team over Steve Kerr. Id actually even accept Tyronn Lue coaching team USA over Kerr.
No KD and that game would have been a different story. Serbia also missed a lot of open 3's. Too many. However what incredible game of bball to watch! Great defense, no flopping or whining, 5 fouls. The NBA games, even the playoff games, aren't this good to watch.

Serbia had a ton of open looks and bricked them all - if the US face a better shooting team, while having a mediocre shooting game, they are beatable.

What I am saying is that the shooting performance by the US team Yesterday was way better than normal, and the shooting of Serbia was way worse. You can't go 50-60% of 3 every game. They are still and now more than ever an outstanding team with incredible talent, but their fundamentals are lacking - their defense was letting Serbia shoot easy 3pts, which if they continue to do so, it is just a matter of shooting.

I've been saying this from the start - SERIBA ARE SO OVERRATED!! The most complete teams are 1. USA 2. Canada 3. Australia 4. Germany None of the other teams stand a chance for the medals
Embiid was awful. Every single minute he played was favoring Serbia. He was outclassed - USA should not play him unless there is no other option, they have so many good players that it is ridiculous to play him.
I don't particularly like either of them bc of the way basketball trended for a good 12 or so years (superteam era), but if you replace LeBron with KD on the teams LeBron was on & vice versa the year they met in the finals (the 3rd lowest rated finals series in the modern era, LeBron also played in the #1 & #2 least watched finals as well- '07 & '20), & I guarantee you KD would have more than 4* rings.
Lebron with the 73 win team?? You are delusional, he would have 9 rings... KD used to be nickname cupcake cause he has no leadership ability and is soft...He made the weakest move of any superstar ever...
