How did they not call George for that travel? That would be called a travel anywhere else in the FIBA world, so USA is still getting some breaks from the refs.

The second unit has given Team USA a great lift. They've looked a lot better than the first unit.

'Dream Team' is like one of those too big too fail american things. Even though all can see Serbia with only 7 million play almost as good as US 300 million.

Why are there so many people in here whining about team USA getting preferential treatment? Some of you from outside the US I assume?

imagine he was taking a 30 foot layup. Would that be allowed? It is a little wierd

Serbs can't get a board to save their lives vs USA, and it's not just them.

Too deep bench (300 million people) and free for all Human Growth Hormone.

Excellent points, 90sgoat. Maybe one day everyone else will see what you see and something will be done about USA's comically one-sided advantages.

Lowry in for Irving and the US goes on a run. Hmmmm. Maybe defense and hustle are important?

US now allowed to foul multiple times on each possesion.
