lol at people saying US would blow it open

 

[bazz&boujee]

I know Gobert is good at basketball. I’ve just never seen in.

Wemby wasted two crucial possessions jacking contested 3s.

Next time puts the ball on the floor and draws a foul.

Getting sloppy you know the end of this will be officiated like a BE road game.

Another wasted possession on a Wemby step back 3 he hasn’t made all Olympics.

The refs haven’t called anything all game.

Who or what is BE?

Nice 5-point run to answer... 8-point lead, 2.22 to play.

I'm not surprised at the Steph sloppiness, Bron being this careless with his passes and getting stripped is out of the norm

 

[AidanFan20]

It's a Curry flurry!!

 

[aceboon]

Steph making it up for it with these 3s

 

[AidanFan20]

GOOD NIGHT NOW!!!!

 

[JakeTheDog]

Unreal final two minutes from Curry.

 

[iri10]

Welp, Curry nuked them from orbit...

 

[Scoe]

Omg

 

[aceboon]

And we have people rooting for the opps instead of that homegrown American excellence that we just witnessed, I hope y'all choke on a croissant

 

[Deleted at users request]

Best shooter ever. Wow

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Steph is INSANE

 

[HooperScooper]

I guess Curry can still shoot, eh?

 

[Spaceman213J]

Curry = Just wow!

 

[HooperScooper]

As for the game. The team showed indifference…..did not play defense and ran into a team that was making all their shots. They would have been blown out by any of five teams that will be in the Olympics. Even with better effort do not see this team winning gold. It will be an accomplishment just to get to the medal round.

So is winning the gold more of an accomplishment? Lol. Not many blowouts but they got it done. As some of us said, you can't take what you see in exhibitions and project that out to the real games. Can you at least say you were wrong?

O.K. I'm done trolling (your word) you. Good day, sir.

Curry = Just wow!

It’s tough enough to hit those shots in any situation or in a regular season game but to do that in a Gold medal game in a close game at the end knowing you won’t have another chance, is really clutch.

 

[AidanFan20]

Coach Kerr with an interesting point: "We are the only team in the world where our fans would be ashamed if we got a silver medal".

That is the definition of pressure.

Okay, figured it out now... Big East.

[Hey Adrien!]

Again, bizarre rooting against the US, but more power to you guys I guess.

I guess most of it is based around my overall disinterest in NBA basketball and my overall annoyance over the personality of LeBron/Curry/Embiid. “Apathetic” about US Men’s Olympic basketball is a better label than “rooting against” the team. For example, I’ve actually watched more of the women’s team and overall, I’ve been really into the more traditional sports this Olympics, watching like 2-3 hours each day.

That being said, Curry was incredible today as this game should be labeled as one of the best of his career.

 

[Leebo]

Must have been frustrating for the people rooting for those Curry 3s to not fall.

 

[REB1094]

Lmao this dude is insane

 

[Woodson]

That was fun down the stretch, great show by Curry right after I started sweating him for some TO’s. Haven’t watched much Olympics except for the 100 meter, always love to see that gold on the American flag
