@@ddffgghbjjnbgvcccda There were a lot of dodgy calls and missed calls (there always are),, the difference was not in quality, it was quantity. The US was able to rest key players in key moments but Serbia weren't able to do that. For such an intense game, fatigue plays a huge part. E.g. Jokic couldn't get his shot going. That's fatigue. No one shoots well when they are exhausted. That's the only difference I saw. Kudos to your Serbia though. It was nice to see the US players really earn a win for a change. It also means they will have a better attitude in the final.

As a Serbian i want to say this Curry is best shoter of all time, Lebron is one of best players ever, Durant one of best ever, 12 HOF dont want to start to with all achievements against Serbia with Jokic MVP of NBA and one solid NBA player Bogdanovic and two role players Micic and Jovic. And this clown Nick Wright still siting there and praise comeback like we are equal like this was not battle of David and Goliath, like USA did something extraordinary?! They nearly avoid biggest choke in basketball history. LeBron is not leader he never was doesnt have what it takes he is great player but that killer instinct that aura of unbeatable only had Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Americans admit when someone was unsure when Kobe was in team when was any doubts in your minds when Kobe is on field. Good luck to you when LeBron, Durant and Curry retire.
@@nikolahekler2713 Bogdanovic isnt even a regular Starter. Also the USA had help from the Refs. If they would have put Tatum and Brown in charge with AD as Center and some younger guys with some Coach other than Kerr, Team USA would be more dominant. So its all about LeBron and his decisions who is playing.
@@nikolahekler27132004-2007 when Shaq got traded, as well as 2011-2016 when the Lakers were either getting swept early in the Playoffs or missing it entirely year after year after year tells a different story about Kobe Bryant. Mad respect and RIP to him and all, but Lebron is more of a consistent winner. Also, Lebron has never been carried by nobody the way Kobe was for the majority of his Championships and half of his career.
I believe, as Serbian btw, that USA will obliterate French team after this. We came very close, it just wasn't good enough. Great game tho, most likely the best in this tournament.
@@MrDivljakseIt doesn't matter, in 🇫🇷 we're ready to do our best, have fun at home with the support of the crowd, and play against an amazing Team USA. Impossible n'est pas français. 🤞
The refs decided the game , Serbia got absolutely ROBBED, The 4th faul of Jokic was commited before the Durants shot for 3. That basket shouldnt count cause it was in "dead time". After that faul, another 3 spot was made. That is 6 point swing, The whole world just watched an armed robbery. What a disgusting performance by the referee. What a way to ruin a great game!!!
@@ZoranRajovic-zl2mnI didn’t see no travel in a game like this it’s to close to call it’s easy to say travel after you slow it down and watch it from 7 angles but even without that bucket we still win by 2
This game is where i wanna hear about Steph...too many times is greatness and ability to carry has been questioned. Ppl still act like 2022 didnt happen -all star game mvp , wcfmvp and fmvp. He's 36 yo, with 36 points and 8 REBOUNDS in a game where Jokic played ! Yall dont realize how great steph is...he's one of the greatest to ever play, put some respek on his nameee!
Booker played well in my opinion, stats don't always show everything, but theres a reason why Book played 24 minutes and Ant only played 10 minutes. Ant was having trouble staying out of foul trouble and Booker played full court defense tremendously. He was a +15 while on the court!
Yeah, not a good game for Ant. He is one of my favorite players, but Kerr went with what was working. Booker hit a huge 3 right after Durant hit the three when Joker got his 4th foul. That was a 6 point swing.
@@patben8739 Kerr won because he had strong individuals. But tactically, Kerr was absolutely devastated, but luckily he had incredible individuals who pulled back victory. If Serbs kept cool head in 4-th quater, it would be an easy win.
Just an excellent game!! Embid showed how great he is. Steph was his all time great self. Bron is unreal. KD turned it on late. Just a fantastic game by team USA
Steph Curry won this game for the US. If he wasn't there, it would be Serbia going to the finals. Steph played like a killer out there. Shows how his mentality is when all is failing and he has to take control of the game. Serbia looked poised and mentally tough. But they didn't have a Curry in their team this time.
That’s not necessarily true tbh.. all the 3s curry scored, he gave right back on the defensive end. In addition, Curry started the game so hot that no one got into a good rhythm.. if Curry didn’t play, someone with better defense would be on the floor and others would have gotten into a rhythm earlier on in the game. Curry was great, don’t get me wrong. I just think someone else steps up since they would be in rhythm + the POA defense that curry lacks would reduce some of the 3s Serbia made
@@Chiweezy_ tbh yeah.. I’m not saying curry wasn’t important and didn’t make the job easier. But they were up 3 when he hit his first 3 to put em up 6. I think KD or Bron gets a bucket on that possession regardless and they’d be up 5 or 6 with like 2 minutes to go.
@@macthemessengernormally yes, not when you have players like Bron and kd ahead of you . Regardless if you just won your behind legends. He needs to understand his place . 🤷🏼♂️ Last time he started he scored 4 points and had the worst shooting % on the team. And one of the worst plus minus . There is a clear reason why he isn’t playing . You also see him play n the finals ? Don’t give me the bs narrative of him leading his team n points n etc. he shot way more than anyone else . He shot a historically bad efficiency . Again, a reason why he is not playing .
@@VortexFromFireit’s the fact that people before the playoffs thought that Tatum was better than those three. It’s like Nick said with seeing how he had played since the Finals too now you could make arguments for a couple players being better than Tatum that you probably would’ve been looked at as crazy for even insinuating that.
@@VortexFromFire to add one more thing, its also because they are certified legends, that u know u can trust them when it matters most for their country, literally as demonstrated today: the big ol three were the 3 biggest reasons they won, stayed in the fight and closed in the end (kd only in the end rly but thats still big-time, but big shoutout to embiid for 7 straight to bring it extremely close/tie it i think?)
@@02nupe the 2004 roster consist of other great players like wade melo. Tim Duncan an all time great power forward, all time guard Allen iverson and bunch of vets in their prime. But they gonna blame the loss on a rookie LeBron who only played 1 or 2 years in the nba at that time 😂
Joel showed up...but Steph was the real hero. He had 36 pts in an inelimination game with everything on the line and OH and hes 36 YO. This was one of the most impressive games by Chef and in Olympics history. Legend.
Why is everyone undermining Joel? Steph was balling but we were losing majority of the game while he did so. Joel scored 7 straight buckets getting us right back in striking distance. They then proceeded to stop passing him the ball and everyone wanted to be the hero so you see KD, Lebron, and steph doing their heroics.
@@eastsidepb8139 100%. IF you watched the whole game you know Serbia was cooking Steph for 3 quarters. Also, you would know that Joel's 3rd quarter is really what kept us close and his 4th quarter is what gave the US a chance to close it out.
@@FrankDBoyce Yep i watched that 4th Embiid was great both ends, Booker played some solid D and hit a big 3, KD hit some huge shots as well, honestly the 4th could’ve been a blowout but Serbia had a lot of 2nd chance points
Fiba rules are just better, no? I mean, less downtime, more dynamic games, full court defense, travels are freaking called, and weird hooks from the offense are called as offensive fouls and not defensive fouls. Maybe FIBA rules on an NBA court?
The only problem with fiba rules is that the clock runs so fast and they might not generate much money on view duration (meaning, less commercials) also lesser timeouts. Plus in an 82 game, most nba players wouldn’t last with these kind of physicality and yet they downplay 80’s and 90’s basketball which this how they play before.
The flow of the game is way better. It's like European soccer except basketball. The NBA could never adopt it though because showing commercials during all those stoppages in play is how they get the big TV contracts. (Same applies for Olympic hockey vs NHL hockey during the winter games).
Because Serbian players lost the intensity and focus on defense. Maybe they were tired but I think they also celebrated too early. They weren't locked in until the end.
@@DipsAndPushups No, just no. They didn't lose intensity or focus they just couldn't match the intensity and defensive effort the US brought in the 4th.
i was at work and saw it playing in the break room. came in at the top of the fourth, this was the best professional basketball i’ve watching in a really long time. defense was intense, nobody was selfish and playing to each other’s strengths
Steph & LeBron were legendary! Thanks for the assist from Embiid and KD to help bring it home. I am really going to miss these guys when they're gone, but sure loving it now!
That's true but mostly cuz the Celtics made the season boring lmao. 60 wins, killed the Mavs in the Finals when everyone put their hopes in them to beat the Cs
The defensive intensity from Serbian players as well as their focus, concentration and discipline on defense disappeared in the 4th quarter. I don't know if they were tired, or if they thought the game was over, or if they got nervous when they realized they were probably going to win.
What game were you watching?! The defense is one of the worst defense I have ever seen the whole game. The come back ONLY HAPPENED BECAUSE JOKIC GOT HIS 4TH FOUL. Funny how much of a casual people are, these guys CLEARLY avoided everything that happened in the game other than the Box Score AND DRAMA. They couldn't even identify THE VERY OBVIOUS GAME PLAN OF SERBIA. Yet people get their knowledge from these guys and spew it verbatim.
0/10 from 3 in the fourth and missing easy layups at the end caused the Serbian downfall. It’s like seeing Curry KD and LeBron hitting contested shots on one end while you’re missing wide open shots. Once they missed the wide open three to take back the lead at 86-84, I knew Serbia was mentally cooked.
@@penkima4923 He has never lived in France for single minute of his life. He is from Cameroon, which is a former French colony that speaks French, but he received his American citizenship before his French citizenship. He wasn't even a French citizen UNTIL 2022.
You mean refs giving jokic a fourth foul off ball on AD(no foul at all!) USA scored 3 on that possession and got the ball again! And scored a 3 again. There was the game right there.
@@nebojsabozic2146 Joker was crazy physical the whole game, and he bowled over AD on that play. He got away with a bunch of offensive fouls that were not called - the one in the first half where he hooked AD's arm and they called it on AD for example.
@FrankDBoyce if they call a foul on Jokic, if the foul is before KD shoots, the 3 doesn't count!(according to rules anyway) First of all that was not a foul, lets get that clear. 4th on Jokic basically taking him out of the rest of the game defensively. That is 3 points for usa and jokic out, another jokic foul where he had a clean block on AD and foul was called that is 2 free points and a non foul on Jokic. Those 2 sequences directly gave usa 6 points in a 4 point game. Not to talk about embiid scoring while travelling, Serbia complains and gets technical, 2 that should have not been points on embiid and a tech ft curry makes, another 3 free points from refs. That is just in the fourth quarter. Dosens of travel calls were not called. This is not nba and travels should not be tolerated.
Bro same, I had to stand up close to the tv the entire 4th tho, I was going crazy when Curry, Lebron and Kd just completely carried our country in that 4th
Сборная Сербия доказала две самые главные вещи: 1) суперзвезды НБА совершенно обычные люди просто с огромными контрактами; 2) в баскетбол умеют играть не только в США. Спасибо, братьям Сербам за великолепное выступление!❤ P.S.

So glad I saw this live! What a thrilling game! What an epic comeback by Team USA! They were hyped up! I was screaming all throught the rally haha!😊🙏👏💕🇵🇭
specially if first game was friendly game, and second (first game in the group) was something like testing because team Serbia knew that they will beat SSD and Puerto Rico. This was a real game, real fight. It was a great game and Serbia could win totally. They showed that they can play against team like the team USA.

This Olympics is making me realize that the two best players in Boston are actually Derrick White and Jrue Holiday.
Jrue Holiday for sure is the best player in Boston he probe it directly in front of JT and JB face , Giannis Antetokounmpo wont deny that cuz he know how sucks he is right now without Jrue Holiday🤣😂😅
The sequence of down 11..KD hit a 3 with an off the ball fall, we get it back and Devin Booker hit a 3 to make it a 5 point game, that sequence helped us. Also , Serbia up 2, 86-84 rebounded there own miss, and then missed a WIDE OPEN 3. USA came back , hit a 3 to go up 1. If Serbia hits that 3 to go up 5, that game might be over.
Yes can anyone explain that 6 point swing Jokic gets called for a 4h foul the foul was clearly before Durant shot his shot yet they counted it and then instead of giving the ball side out they count the three give the ball back to the Ameri n devin booker hits another 3 i never seen a blatent robbery like that in my life lol
Steph at the end of the game, had a wide open 3 but pulls it back out to take time off the clock draws a foul & hit the game winning freethrows, amazing!
The thing we really needed was pressure on their outside shooters, not sure Tatum would have added to that. Ant was a guy that could do that, but he wasn't a factor when he was in there. I think Kerr had that best team in there in the 4th quarter for what we needed. And I'm a St. Louis guy so I want to see Jayson in there, but the 4th quarter group got it done.
Bron, Curry and KD are still amazing. The rest of the world is here though, when those 3 hang it up the Gold Medal is up for grabs for several other countries

@@xavierb9061nigga cut it out Steph kept them afloat in first half. He hit them with 3 back to back threes at one point.

1:08 Not the 2nd triple double in men’s olympic history. Alexander Belov had one for the USSR vs Canada in 1976 & Luka had one for Slovenia vs France in Tokyo.
@@kwall25”it’s the 2nd triple double in men’s Olympic history” is the exact quote. No mention of it being just with the USA. I even put a timestamp so maybe next time at least watch before arguing incorrectly just for the sake of arguing.
British NBA fan so didn’t have any skin in the game. But wow what a game. The USA 4th quarter line up of curry booker Lebron KD Embiid really stepped up. Shout out to Booker…didn’t know he had that kind of defence in him and also hit some crucial buckets. Shame that wasn’t the gold medal match. Wow!
From my perspective, several things happened in today's game. Team USA became overconfident after their two previous victories against Serbia. They didn't move the ball as they usually do and opted for a more individualistic style of play. On the other hand, Serbia, once they saw the first two or three three-pointers drop, gained momentum, and couldn’t seem to miss a shot even if they wanted to. I also believe that Steve Kerr's game plan wasn't the most appropriate today. Nevertheless, it was still a good win for the United States.
I think we the USA were also rattled by Serbia s physical defense and we were struggling /hesistant to attack the paint when there were bodies in it. This isn't something we are used to in the NBA since that defense is basically banned.
Carmelo has 37pts against an African nation and not in a win or go home traily by 2 digits game unlike this 36pts from Steph Curry...this 36pts in a very high quality basketball game...what a game! 🥇👌💪😍
Don’t forget to mention Melo did in 14 mins. no knock on Steph cuz that was an incredible performance but there’s a huge difference between 32 mins and 14
I mean his shares the court and doesnt get the ball as much so will take him more minutes and tbh Melo did it against worse players compared to them unlike Steph playing against NBA - g league lvl players
@@irvingzeistman9828You’re technically not American either. By this logic only native Americans should be play since they’re the only real Americans and the rest of us immigrated here
Brou is 100% right. Kerr was consistent, he said it was about matchups and fit against Serbia, and he stuck to his guns in the rematch - and they won. Let's face it, the guys playing ahead of Tatum are Lebron and KD, two of the best ever to do it, and they delivered once again. Btw, I think it's highly debatable whether Tatum was actually better than either of them last season, he was on a very similar level and he played on a better team, and accolades like 1st team All-NBA tend to come with team success. Bottom line, they beat a really good team let by a three-time MVP who barely left the floor, and now they're playing for the gold. Like Brou said, 20 years from now nobody besides Tatum himself is going to care that Tatum sat against Serbia, they're just going to remember that Team USA won the game. If a motivated Tatum lights up the Warriors next year, then good for him, more power to him. But it's really not relevant to the discussion WIldes. Steve Kerr is not worried about that when making lineup decisions in the Olympics lol, nor should he be.

92 Dream Team is not losing to anyone. You're right. The US is all individuals now, but don't mention the Dream Team with them. The Dream Team was equally as good on both ends. They cared about defense unlike today's American superstars. And go look at how much of a team they were sharing the ball. No one had to dominate the ball to get stats like a special someone who needs to have the system run through him to get his precious stats on the '24 team. 92 was a Dream TEAM.

Tatum fanboys gotta stop this. Apart from the funny memes. Nobody is calling Tatum bad. There's a reason many basketball fans don't rate him as highly as tatum/Celtic fans do. Same with Kerr and the coaches. Idc what the stats say. Use your eyes. Jaylon Brown was their best player in the Playoffs and Team USA shows he's not even rated that highly there either.

LeBron is not leader he never was doesnt have what it takes he is great player but that killer instinct that aura of unbeatable only had Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Americans admit when someone was unsure when Kobe was in team when was any doubts in your minds when Kobe is on field. Good luck to you when LeBron, Durant and Curry retire.

The refs decided the game , Serbia got absolutely ROBBED, The 4th faul of Jokic was commited before the Durants shot for 3. That basket shouldnt count cause it was in "dead time". After that faul, another 3 spot was made. That is 6 point swing, The whole world just watched an armed robbery. What a disgusting performance by the referee. What a way to ruin a great game!!!
The refs have obviously been corrupt for all team USA games.

Yes it is but it let's you know how great Melo really was with 37
Embid and KD were crucial in the 4thQ also.
No one said they weren’t

Joel was just as valuable. Good TEAM win!
Booker played well in my opinion, stats don't always show everything, but theres a reason why Book played 24 minutes and Ant only played 10 minutes. Ant was having trouble staying out of foul trouble and Booker played full court defense tremendously. He was a +15 while on the court!
Yeah, not a good game for Ant. He is one of my favorite players, but Kerr went with what was working. Booker hit a huge 3 right after Durant hit the three when Joker got his 4th foul. That was a 6 point swing.
He has been our most consistent player!!!!
Massive alliteration
I’ve noticed when the games get tight, Ant gets loose and careless with the ball
I agree, helped the comeback with his D and hitting 3. Him and JRue are the unsung heros.
Shout out to Serbia. They balled out! Joker and Bogan balled out and Them other dudes literally played the game of their lives.

Embiid is a very able basketball player.
...but that dirty man is for sure not "great".
Jokic had 4 Fouls then He started to Play dont BE stupid and refs we're also great Help for USA !
The French don’t get that Embiid feeds off trolling.
🎉🥳💯
Steph Curry won this game for the US. If he wasn't there, it would be Serbia going to the finals. Steph played like a killer out there. Shows how his mentality is when all is failing and he has to take control of the game. Serbia looked poised and mentally tough. But they didn't have a Curry in their team this time.
That’s not necessarily true tbh.. all the 3s curry scored, he gave right back on the defensive end. In addition, Curry started the game so hot that no one got into a good rhythm.. if Curry didn’t play, someone with better defense would be on the floor and others would have gotten into a rhythm earlier on in the game. Curry was great, don’t get me wrong. I just think someone else steps up since they would be in rhythm + the POA defense that curry lacks would reduce some of the 3s Serbia made
So subtract the other players points....

@@Chiweezy_ tbh yeah.. I’m not saying curry wasn’t important and didn’t make the job easier. But they were up 3 when he hit his first 3 to put em up 6. I think KD or Bron gets a bucket on that possession regardless and they’d be up 5 or 6 with like 2 minutes to go.

@@VortexFromFireit’s the fact that people before the playoffs thought that Tatum was better than those three. It’s like Nick said with seeing how he had played since the Finals too now you could make arguments for a couple players being better than Tatum that you probably would’ve been looked at as crazy for even insinuating that.
@@VortexFromFire to add one more thing, its also because they are certified legends, that u know u can trust them when it matters most for their country, literally as demonstrated today: the big ol three were the 3 biggest reasons they won, stayed in the fight and closed in the end (kd only in the end rly but thats still big-time, but big shoutout to embiid for 7 straight to bring it extremely close/tie it i think?)

Joel showed up...but Steph was the real hero. He had 36 pts in an inelimination game with everything on the line and OH and hes 36 YO. This was one of the most impressive games by Chef and in Olympics history. Legend.
Why is everyone undermining Joel? Steph was balling but we were losing majority of the game while he did so. Joel scored 7 straight buckets getting us right back in striking distance. They then proceeded to stop passing him the ball and everyone wanted to be the hero so you see KD, Lebron, and steph doing their heroics.
@@eastsidepb8139 100%. IF you watched the whole game you know Serbia was cooking Steph for 3 quarters. Also, you would know that Joel's 3rd quarter is really what kept us close and his 4th quarter is what gave the US a chance to close it out.

One good game “that’s my goat” 😂😂😂
Fiba rules are just better, no? I mean, less downtime, more dynamic games, full court defense, travels are freaking called, and weird hooks from the offense are called as offensive fouls and not defensive fouls. Maybe FIBA rules on an NBA court?
The only problem with fiba rules is that the clock runs so fast and they might not generate much money on view duration (meaning, less commercials) also lesser timeouts. Plus in an 82 game, most nba players wouldn’t last with these kind of physicality and yet they downplay 80’s and 90’s basketball which this how they play before.
Agree
The flow of the game is way better. It's like European soccer except basketball. The NBA could never adopt it though because showing commercials during all those stoppages in play is how they get the big TV contracts. (Same applies for Olympic hockey vs NHL hockey during the winter games).
Agree !
People clamor for FIBA rules but don't watch any Euroleague games. Just the Olympics and World Cup just yapping
The 4th quarter was just amazing to watch
Because Serbian players lost the intensity and focus on defense. Maybe they were tired but I think they also celebrated too early. They weren't locked in until the end.
The entire game was exciting! But the 4eh quarter was incredible!
The first is better
@@DipsAndPushups No, just no. They didn't lose intensity or focus they just couldn't match the intensity and defensive effort the US brought in the 4th.

One of the best basketball games I watched in a LONG time !!!
Serbia was on fire for 3 quarters. The defensive pressure and attitude in the 4th by the US was amazing to watch.
The defensive intensity from Serbian players as well as their focus, concentration and discipline on defense disappeared in the 4th quarter. I don't know if they were tired, or if they thought the game was over, or if they got nervous when they realized they were probably going to win.
What game were you watching?! The defense is one of the worst defense I have ever seen the whole game. The come back ONLY HAPPENED BECAUSE JOKIC GOT HIS 4TH FOUL. Funny how much of a casual people are, these guys CLEARLY avoided everything that happened in the game other than the Box Score AND DRAMA. They couldn't even identify THE VERY OBVIOUS GAME PLAN OF SERBIA. Yet people get their knowledge from these guys and spew it verbatim.
@@DipsAndPushupsit's because Jokic got his 4th foul quickly in the 4th, that's what happened. The come back did not happen until that moment.
Live by the Three, Die by the Three
0/10 from 3 in the fourth and missing easy layups at the end caused the Serbian downfall. It’s like seeing Curry KD and LeBron hitting contested shots on one end while you’re missing wide open shots.
Once they missed the wide open three to take back the lead at 86-84, I knew Serbia was mentally cooked.
Embiid definitely played well this game. He showed up on offense and defense, and they needed that.

Steph's performance was terrific. But Embiid making Joker play defense in the 2nd half was the key to the comeback.
You mean refs giving jokic a fourth foul off ball on AD(no foul at all!) USA scored 3 on that possession and got the ball again! And scored a 3 again. There was the game right there.
@@nebojsabozic2146 Joker was crazy physical the whole game, and he bowled over AD on that play. He got away with a bunch of offensive fouls that were not called - the one in the first half where he hooked AD's arm and they called it on AD for example.
@@nebojsabozic2146 there is no way that you watched that game and thought Serbia got the short end of the stick from the Refs. No way.
@FrankDBoyce if they call a foul on Jokic, if the foul is before KD shoots, the 3 doesn't count!(according to rules anyway) First of all that was not a foul, lets get that clear. 4th on Jokic basically taking him out of the rest of the game defensively. That is 3 points for usa and jokic out, another jokic foul where he had a clean block on AD and foul was called that is 2 free points and a non foul on Jokic. Those 2 sequences directly gave usa 6 points in a 4 point game. Not to talk about embiid scoring while travelling, Serbia complains and gets technical, 2 that should have not been points on embiid and a tech ft curry makes, another 3 free points from refs. That is just in the fourth quarter. Dosens of travel calls were not called. This is not nba and travels should not be tolerated.
@@FrankDBoyce That six point play shouldnt have happened.

This Olympics is making me realize that the two best players in Boston are actually Derrick White and Jrue Holiday.
They are the glue guys that make that team work.
lol. Just now realizing that?
Jrue Holiday for sure is the best player in Boston he probe it directly in front of JT and JB face , Giannis Antetokounmpo wont deny that cuz he know how sucks he is right now without Jrue Holiday🤣😂😅
JB is the best player hence the FMVP lol
Do us all a favor.. Don’t watch basketball anymore🥴
The sequence of down 11..KD hit a 3 with an off the ball fall, we get it back and Devin Booker hit a 3 to make it a 5 point game, that sequence helped us. Also , Serbia up 2, 86-84 rebounded there own miss, and then missed a WIDE OPEN 3. USA came back , hit a 3 to go up 1. If Serbia hits that 3 to go up 5, that game might be over.
Yes can anyone explain that 6 point swing Jokic gets called for a 4h foul the foul was clearly before Durant shot his shot yet they counted it and then instead of giving the ball side out they count the three give the ball back to the Ameri n devin booker hits another 3 i never seen a blatent robbery like that in my life lol

🫡
From my perspective, several things happened in today's game. Team USA became overconfident after their two previous victories against Serbia. They didn't move the ball as they usually do and opted for a more individualistic style of play. On the other hand, Serbia, once they saw the first two or three three-pointers drop, gained momentum, and couldn’t seem to miss a shot even if they wanted to. I also believe that Steve Kerr's game plan wasn't the most appropriate today. Nevertheless, it was still a good win for the United States.
I think we the USA were also rattled by Serbia s physical defense and we were struggling /hesistant to attack the paint when there were bodies in it.
This isn't something we are used to in the NBA since that defense is basically banned.

We won. I don't care about Tatum's feelings.
Brou is 100% right. Kerr was consistent, he said it was about matchups and fit against Serbia, and he stuck to his guns in the rematch - and they won. Let's face it, the guys playing ahead of Tatum are Lebron and KD, two of the best ever to do it, and they delivered once again. Btw, I think it's highly debatable whether Tatum was actually better than either of them last season, he was on a very similar level and he played on a better team, and accolades like 1st team All-NBA tend to come with team success. Bottom line, they beat a really good team let by a three-time MVP who barely left the floor, and now they're playing for the gold. Like Brou said, 20 years from now nobody besides Tatum himself is going to care that Tatum sat against Serbia, they're just going to remember that Team USA won the game.
If a motivated Tatum lights up the Warriors next year, then good for him, more power to him. But it's really not relevant to the discussion WIldes. Steve Kerr is not worried about that when making lineup decisions in the Olympics lol, nor should he be.

The Bronze in 04 already killed Lebronze's GOAT consideration

This game shall forever be known as the chef curry game. He truly was cookin nd kept us in it.
‘92 Dream Team would lose against ex Yugoslavia in Barcelona, Serbia was better than USA today in Paris. Simply, USA has great individuals, Serbia(Yugoslavia) better teams, was and will be.
92 Dream Team is not losing to anyone. You're right. The US is all individuals now, but don't mention the Dream Team with them. The Dream Team was equally as good on both ends. They cared about defense unlike today's American superstars. And go look at how much of a team they were sharing the ball. No one had to dominate the ball to get stats like a special someone who needs to have the system run through him to get his precious stats on the '24 team. 92 was a Dream TEAM. Every team after has been Dream Talent.
92 dream team wouldnt be able to stop the permiter shooting from serbia today, shot nearly 50% from 3 on high volume. Bird would've got ran odd the court @HailKingCeezer
The dream team were amazing in the interior however but for this game that wouldnt had meant much. They woulldnt be able to stop the jokic PNR
Almost everybody has a better team. 😀
@@sentinaloWhy wouldn't they be able to stop the 3pt shooting? They had plenty of perimeter defenders...is shooting 3s something they've never seen before?
@@sentinalo Bird Didnt need to play. He was just there for honorary reasons. The Avg pt margin of defeat was 44 pts. Jordan & Pippen are not getting cooked.....Joker is not cooking Ewing or Robinson .....& Barkly & the Mail man is going to play BULLY BALL😂😂
Serbia 7 milion people - USA 350 milion people and best league in the world! And Serbia almost beat the USA! Just think about that! 50 states against one small country. Dude!
Serbian basketball is incredible (I can't even imagine what a united Yugoslavia would have produced), but in the end, you either win or lose. It doesn't matter how big or small you are
F^#^$ SERBIA
Biggest Empires in Europe dont see us "small" or our people in past see us as small,otherwise we will never be free!
@@McRagtime In the end it was a close game, and Serbia made team USA look pathetic.
@@penkima4923 I respect your opinion, but in the very end, team USA won.
Tatum fanboys gotta stop this. Apart from the funny memes. Nobody is calling Tatum bad. There's a reason many basketball fans don't rate him as highly as tatum/Celtic fans do. Same with Kerr and the coaches. Idc what the stats say. Use your eyes. Jaylon Brown was their best player in the Playoffs and Team USA shows he's not even rated that highly there either.
