I hope Kerr inserts KD into the starting lineup next game. Enough with the rotations for rotations sake.

Serbia went cold. Missed their last 8 3s. Needed to make 1 or 2 more.
 
Would love to see Giffey get a bronze, but that Serbia team is pretty tough.
 
Steph finally showed up and was incredible. Triple double from Bron, clutch as hell with rebounds and stops. KD found it and Embiid brought them back.

Maybe we demote Kerr and promote Spoelstra before the final, cuz that guy cannot coach.

Watch Kerr leave them on the bench for extended time over 12 minutes consecutive next game, SMH. Sorry don't mind me fellas. I was shouting at the TV that entire game with USA's poor defense against the dribble handoffs.

Game was decided when Serbia missed a wide open three with 2:30 left that would've put them up 5 and then Curry came down and hit another three.

Found myself rooting for Serbia.

USA was fortunate with that miss for sure, but that is also game pressure because USA closed the gap. USA missed their fair share of open 3s in that game and FTs, too. If USA makes some of those earlier in the game they still would be in a deficit but it would not have been as large.

Having said that Serbia played well and Kerr didn't manage the rotations all that well.

get this gold this year but I'm worried once the old guard Bron/KD/Steph are gone, call me an old hater but these young guys just don't have that extra level that that era has. At 22 years old KD was already putting the US on his back at the 2010 World Cup, these other guys haven't come close to that at the senior level of FIBA comp. Anthony Edwards looked in over his head today.

Why would you root for Serbia?

It’s Edward’s, Booker, and Tatum moving forward. Tatum didn’t even play today.

Family is from Serbia, Jokic is my favorite player, huge underdogs......distant reason- Embiid is my least favorite player ever.

Fair I guess, but then why would you “find yourself” rooting for them? All the reasons you listed were known commodities before the game started.
