    Serbia won't do as well against the US as they did in pool play. I wish they could've had Boban and Bjelica. (I think Boban actually offered, but Djordjevic declined or something.)

    The Bronze medal game SHOULD be good, so long as Australia recover from the last game.

    The absence of Bjelica is huge for Serbia. It's a surprise they made it this easily to the final where probably they'll be crashed. I hope they stay competitive at least for the first half.

    You just lost your best playmaker. You have to choose between a 32 year old guy that can only act as a role player, play decent defense and maybe hit some open shots and a 25 year old guy that looks hungry for a chance, that is much superior on the offensive end, can really excel at your up tempo basket and you choose the first. And now who will make plays when Llull is off the court (You cannot expect consistency from Doncic)? Draper? Well that's laughable. But it's Laso we are talking about (I don't think he knows why he kept Thompkins).

    It's not tha Campazo is elite, it's that Draper really sucks for the role he was signed for.

    Last day of the Olympics right? Most of the anti US fans have probably gone home.

    I wish the NBA would adopt this 14 second shot clock for 2nd chance offensive possessions.

    It would make the end of games more interesting, can't just sit on the ball after an offensive rebound.
