USA men’s basketball vs. Serbia

[RagnarLothbrok]

USA coming out flat. No defense and lazy passing.

This starting lineup is trash.

This team hasn’t learned shit. Soft and no energy.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Now they’re playing with better energy.

AD and Anthony Edwards should be starting.

 

[hawkirugged17]

USA up 5 after first quarter after starting down 10-2.

 

[hawkirugged17]

KD 4-4 from the field in his return after injury. 11 points off the bench.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Welcome back, KD!

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Steph
Edwards
LeBron
KD
AD

Now that is a lethal lineup.

 

[TennNole17]

Isn’t there an official Olympics thread? Why does MENS basketball get its own thread? Sexist!

 

[hawkirugged17]

Durant ... with another 3 in Jokic's face! Wow!

 

[WDSMHAWK]

Crazy Derrick White was an alternate

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Crazy Derrick White was an alternate

Why?

 

[wausauhawk]

It's crazy that USA has one of the most dynamic play making point guards in the world in Tyrese Haliburton & they're giving him zero run

 

[hawkirugged17]

Crazy Derrick White was an alternate

Defensive guard that doesn't need the ball.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Sexist!

 

[hawkirugged17]

LeBron, to Steph, to Embiid ... nice passing for 2.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Defensive guard that doesn't need the ball.

And can be a lethal 3 point shooter.

 

[WDSMHAWK]

Why?

Fills a need for the team and there's a decent chance he's closing games.

 

[hawkirugged17]

LeBron 3 ... he is still good.

Can’t be, he went to Iowa State

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

I thought you were criticizing it.

Take a lap.
OP are you sure you’re not a Nole?
We get thousands on Warchant who start crying if we lose the coin toss. Before we bury the opponent. 🙄

 

[hawkirugged17]

Serbia back to within 2. Good intensity in this one.

 

[hawkirugged17]

KD ... 7-7 from the floor (5 threes) ... he has 19.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

LeBron 3 ... he is still good.

LeBron at 39>Jordan at 39

That one shouldn’t be in dispute.

 

[WDSMHAWK]

I thought you were criticizing it.

Criticizing that he wasn't on the original roster. Booker and Kawhi are better individual players but I White is a much better fit for the team.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Serbia back to within 2. Good intensity in this one.

Serbia is a good team.

I was a little disappointed at the lackadaisical effort USA came out with.

Glad they fixed that.

 

[EasyHawk]

Durant!!

 

[Tenacious E]

KD 4-4 from the field in his return after injury. 11 points off the bench.

KD is like some kind of basketball demigod.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Durant!!

Crazy half with a great finish! 8-8 from the field with 21 points. Just back from injury.

 

[pink shizzle]

Durant absolutely going off

 

[pink shizzle]

Durant and LeBron are something like 13/13 for 33 points in the first half

 

[artradley]

Dawn Staley looks like a clown in that outfit.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

If he keeps practicing, Kevin Durant could be pretty good at this basketball thing someday.

 

[hawkirugged17]

If he keeps practicing, Kevin Durant could be pretty good at this basketball thing someday.

 

[Tenacious E]

Anyone else hoped against hope they would have asked Dawn Staley about Caitlin Clark not being on team USA?

 

[hawkirugged17]

Durant and LeBron are something like 13/13 for 33 points in the first half

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Why does Joel Embiid keep getting booed?

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Serbia taking a page out of the Wisconsin Badger playbook on flopping and mugging.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Why does Joel Embiid keep getting booed?

Because he picked US over France

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Because he picked US over France

Yeah, I didn’t realize he had dual citizenship.

 

[Hawked]

We ain't losing. Lebron showing the world how big boys do big boy things.
