The Official NBA Season Thread: USA vs Serbia at 11:15 ET on NBC/Peacock | Durant Cleared for Action

[addict4sneakers]

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

These friendly games he’s been doing a combination of too much and not enough. We got Lebron, that’s all the PG play we need

 

[ny mavurs]

Glad to catch KD hoopin wit this team finally

 

[T0INE]

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

You bout to get a PM like EYE did pleighboi

 

[rolaholic]

USA B-team would be getting worked by this Serbian squad

A-team withstood a great start from them and now they're separating even though Serbia are playing really well themselves

 

[shotsrangout]

crazy how we got the evolution in KD with wemby and he is just getting started too

 

[rolaholic]

They're still booing the hell out of Embiid anytime he gets a touch or look

 

[danger style]

Yeah Wade gotta go

“Lebron made that pass from half court”

 

[B Sox]

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.

Tatum was really good in the last Olympics. 2nd leading scorer on 49% shooting. He’s been perfectly fine in this setting.

If his jumper isn’t falling though this go round for whatever reason, he probably shouldn’t play much. Especially since Kerr is sticking him in the corner instead of giving him the Bron role as creator off bench.

Antman gotta know to double jokic when curry is guarding him.. thats bbq baklava everytime

 

[nick.]

I hate the term but Durant might be the purest hooper ever.

He could get out of bed at 7:30 for an 8:00 start & give you 28 on 11/17 shooting.

 

[antidope]

Lmao bro. Get him out of here.

 

[pmatic]

Embiid 7'2 and 300 lbs and it doesn't even matter lol.

 

[T0INE]

They're still booing the hell out of Embiid anytime he gets a touch or look

Maybe he is the most hated.

Joker really the best post big man in the game today and the best in the low post since Duncan

good point. i his passing is most impacted by the tighter spacing.
but if his jumpshot is working, the defense and size still makes him valuable.

 

[allergic2broke]

Usa lost the lead as soon as you know who came back in

 

[addict4sneakers]

Embiid you don’t need to help off Jokic on the perimeter. That little dude isn’t moving lebron

 

[rolaholic]

Embiid out there BSing

[pmatic]

Curry been awful on defense.

 

[g-time]

Embiid has been terrible.

 

[B Sox]

Embiid is pathetic man.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Alright man that’s enough Embiid.
