Durant and George are really playing good defense. Irving is another story but he is on the bench for now.

Serbia is lost. This could be a +40 point game

Balkans are more emotional in their play usually. Not always good at handling an early setback. Same in football and other sports.
US came with a lot more intensity than the last game they played, Serbia just looks demoralized. This is more like the 2014 FIBA World Cup Finals.
US were allowed to foul without call for a short period and then Radulica went to the bench, game over, they are too thin, but anyway Balkan people are just not that diciplined always against adversity, this has been their big weakness in many sports. Too bad because at their best, they are at another level than the rest of Europe. I think both Spain and Australia would have done better in this finals.

BBC coverage is so hilariously bad. You have two guys that probably never watch basketball trying to do play by play. They don't understand fouls, travels, delays of game, or even court nomenclature. They call the court a pitch half the time!

Boogie would be so good if he played with at least one allstar talent player alongside with him.
Outside of KD... he has been the best player.

Please no excuses, US has completely and outright dominated Serbia in this game, the game in group play was an anomaly and was close solely due to lack of effort in USA's part.

For all your talk about the 90s being more physical, you now say we were allowed to defend without fouling? That's pure comedy.

To be honest I don't think there's a team in the world who can stop KD/Klay/Melo shooting from 3
And although it looks disgusting, just giving them the ball and them chucking it in, why would you bother doing anything else if you have those 3?
I suspect this is what Golden State 2017 basketball is gonna look like

He was awesome today, double-double in the first half. He's incredibly skilled for his size and a load on the boards. But two things I'd be constantly worried about him if he was on my team -- defensive lapses and the emotional issues. Leading up to today he had a handful of moments where it felt like he was constantly about to boil over. Then they stopped giving him the Tim "FIBA Sucks" Duncan treatment and he killed it.
