i remember hearing this after 2004

I think it's great for the game to have some competition.

lebron once again saved USA's ass at the end there

i was hoping they wouldn't need to rely on him so much with all the other talent on the team, but i guess not. KD coming back should help though

Canada has the best team it's ever sent to this thing but I am not sure we are even going to get out of our group, it's a tough bracket.

Kerr calls Team USA to raise intensity: 'It's time'

Steve Kerr put Team USA through an aggressive practice Thursday and said "it's time" for his team to raise its intensity level.

The Americans began their preparation for Serbia by walking through some sets Wednesday. Serbia is a legit threat to win the gold with Nikola Jokic at center and NBA-quality guards.

Canada was up 22-9 before I started watching.wtf are you doing Canada??

Got a little dicey at the end, especially with Brooks and Dort fouling out, but Canada survived. Shai is incredible.

Jamal doesn't look right. Hopefully rust more so than being banged up.

Randomly discovering that Team Japan has a cousin of Jonathan Toews on the roster is not what I was expecting to learn tonight.

Luol Deng calling out Paul Pierce ratchet ass on social media is justified, the hell with that bum.

US game about to start guessing by the commentators appearing on NBC

US by 30 over these scrubs

 

[John Price]

USA losing 10-2.

Um we have much more talent than you how is this happening.

Canada with good defense yesterday but I am no sure they have enough weapons offensively unless Murray gets going, if not I would say Bronze will even be a challenge.

Serbia coming out strong against the U.S....................beating them by 30 might be be tough.

I think the "I don't give a shit" is flowing freely thru this bunch.

Surprise, 2 three point shots and an and one and US back up where they belong on top.

We have no excuse losing to these guys.

Yes Jokic is good but US has 5 players of his caliber. Who else is on Serbia, him and Bogdan? Real "scary".

They know how to play international basketball. Playing team defense etc.

Maybe no one but their team game can be scary.

U.S hitting the threes

Just enjoy the vacation and don’t get hurt. Need to be healthy enough to get back to the second round.

Durant looking sharp.

Serbia just missing too many open shots.

 

[jj cale]

Jokic doing Jokic things to keep Serbia in it.

Embid is useless out there.

 

[jj cale]

Durant..unstoppable!!

Wasn't expecting my morning to be disturbed by a spike lee sighting.

U.S should win this game by over 10 unless their intensity lags at some point..

 

[Terry Yake]

no idea why embiid is even on the team

AD/bam are the only big men you need

Reviews becoming as big a pain in the ass as they are in hockey.
