Old Going For Gold: USA Men's Olympic Basketball - Next Up The Main Event vs France (8/10 @ 3:30pm ET)

[UpAndComing]

The idea that the US beat a team of plumbers + Jokic is so stupid.

You mean that same team WITHOUT Jokic who won Silver ahead of the US, Canada, France etc at last years World Cup? Jok was supposed to push them over the line no?

Those same plumbers are all, with the exception of Jovic, battle tested in the Euroleague under FIBA rules and have been playing together for the last 5+ years.

Just say you don’t know shyt about hoops man.

So are you telling me when Serbia got Jokic to join them this year that..... they came up?

You realize that was a DISASTER for the United States? You realize if they lost this game it would have also been a disaster?

The reason the game was close.... there's a few reasons but Kerr's terrible rotations is right up there.

We heard Tatum is a great defender for years but apparently in the Olympics he isn't able to guard wing players that would struggle to make it on an NBA bench.

Kerr is a dikk

Tatum is too inconsistent, and he has the mamba mentality, so he'll be shooting 4-12 and just keep on chucking.

Cacs: How dare Kaep kneel. Stand for your flag!

Cacs watching NBA players rep flag at the Olympics: “hmmmm….you know…”

I can't believe this team is one game away from the gold medal and most of the discourse is about a nikka getting DNP's.

This board has fallen off as a sports talk forum. Look, there wasn’t even a thread covering the Olympics overall. Just a thread with pics of women and a US basketball hot take thread.

There is no mention of the Serbia Germany game at all.

Bum ass serbians whining about officiating, when their basketball tradition comes from yugoslavian years when they used to flop. play dirty and affect low quality refs to blow the whistle in their favour. This victory is even more sweeter the way it ended. Oh and fukk jokic, fat boy blowing convincing leads in NBA and now Fiba. I know a few "experts" who were ready to crown him like top 5 of all time and shyt now welcome to guangdong southern tigers, biaaaaaaaatch

What exactly didn't they like about the officiating?

How fast people forget that the starters cut the lead to like 5 or 6 in the 3rd, then he decided it was time to do a platoon swap and brought in an all-bench lineup that already struggled in the 1st half and immediately swung the momentum back to Serbia and led to us entering the 4th down 13

Barring a meltdown we’re about to win gold but it will be in spite of Kerr and the homecooking the refs are about to give France
