Common foul

 

[B Sox]

That’s as obvious as a flagrant gets

 

[addict4sneakers]

How did Derrick White skip over Tatum in the rotation? Kerr is a wild boy fr

Easy decision. Ball stopper, broke jumper.

 

[kingjay718]

I love his this team yess, JT is injured

He’s bringing Bron back for last few seconds of the 1st….

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

No one can guard Jokic

True

But doesn’t change the fact AD isn’t a center when guarding true centers.

He only a center against bigs like Looney and dem

 

[rbk93]

Every game really is gonna be a challenge huh?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Kerr should experiment with Haliburton over Tatum.

Hali pushes the pace just as much as all these FIBA teams.

Nah leave him on the bench too. He won’t shoot the ball. We don’t need those fake no look passes

 

[elpablo21]

Vibes just different when the team isn't forced to run sets like it's a Sixers game

 

[toneboi76]

Easy decision. Ball stopper, broke jumper.

True his jumper has been broke but still he is a 1st team All NBA player in his prime. This should be his moment. No Bill Simmons

This isn’t the NBA. he hasn’t been playing well. Styles make fights. It happens though. Dame, Brunson, etc. guys struggle on this stage

 

[lynchpin33]

Tatum and that ridiculous side step stuff not playing today?

 

[rolaholic]

They really do find a rhythm the second he sits

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Bron
Steph
KD
AD
Bam

This should be the starters
Size

And Shooting

Yea even Ant had growing pains adjusting last year at the World Cup

 

[toneboi76]

Olympic KD may be the greatest player I’ve ever seen

 

[pmatic]

What a cheat code.

 

[rolaholic]

Bron is unreal

 

[addict4sneakers]

You see Booker making the adjustments in real time. That hierarchy is real.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

imo with fiba is the tighter spacing exposes, who is really has feel for the game and who doesn't.

a guy like Tatum for example is a good passer in the NBA, where there is tons of spacing and the reads are obvious.
but you put in FIBA and its tougher for him.

 

[Bert.]

Embiid already benched

Joking owns him in all continents

Needs to return that mvp the media handed to him back to jokic

Just @ me (and Pizzo) lol

 

[noblekane]

olympic kd lol

He looked great during the World Cup. Not sure what happened.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Goddamn KD

 

[king j]

KD might not miss today
