    WOW! One of the best games I’ve ever seen! What a crazy ass environment!
    USA vs France on Sunday…..couldn’t have asked for a better matchup for the gold!

    It's crazy, you give Serbia another All NBA player and they could have beaten us. They almost did. We will win by 35 for the gold

    Have you ever seen how crazy serbian fans go? I'd imagine the team is just as hard.

    Question about the Game: Why was KD 3 pointer counted then they got the ball back another 3 from Booker. A 6 points that turn around the game.

    Jokic fouled AD offball, while KD was shooting.

    I don't think that would happen in the NBA. I think they'd have to pick one foul or the other.

    We were told FIBA rewards the team with procession of the ball instead of FTs. Bucket counted and we got the ball. Changed the game.

    Jokic knew the FIBA rules so he didn't even argue the call.

    All they needed was to go 2-9 instead of 0-9 from three in the 4th quarter. Serbia was the Blazers in the 2000 WCF. And just like the Blazers, everyone (outside of Serbia) will erase all but the last half of the fourth quarter from their collective memories.

    I'd love to see a comparison of the salaries of the US team vs. the Serbian team.

    Not sure I agree but the whole Olympic team being the very best players is going to do this?
    Who was the player off the bench in 92? Anyone remember? It was Clyde wasn't it?

    I enjoyed Termine last summer as he was one of the few who supported Joe when others said he should give Dame away to Miami.
    He can't stand Heat fans.

    And I agree that Kerr was wrong not playing Tatum. I don't like his 3 guard lineup. I would start Tatum over Booker.
    But he does tend to embellish. Kerr will not return as coach and even if he does, someone needs to sit. They need the depth in case of injuries.

    Is everyone up for the Bronze Medal game in 7 minutes? Call your friends & neighbors. A crowd of our German and Serbian posters will soon show up!

    It's 2:02 am Pacific Time. The whole Sports2 board is leaving the bars right now, which are closing just at the wrong time. Drive fast, you drunkards! It's game time!

    Germany seems to miss every shot, long or layup. Somehow they're only 8 down at the half. Serbia must have missed plenty too, but Serbia seems to make moves before their shots. Germany's simple shots suck. Serbia has more effort. This game is pretty routine. A yawner, or is it the time of night.
