Holiday is a game changer out there defensively. Pretty bummed we didn't end up getting him for the Kemba trade. Think he'd be a solid third to the Jays.

Holiday has been playing some disruptive def.
Pretty impressive.

Those two 3s for France give them a bit of belief. Looked defeated before that.

[dang], France won’t go away. Good game.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

yeah cutting it to 8 at the end was big.  It still feels like USA has another gear to go to defensively.  Going to be tough for France.

The dependence on Durant is amazing. I cannot remember a Team USA looking this reliant on one player.

These refs seem just as questionable as NBA refs lol That's a questionable call on Middleton. Clearly didn't move that pivot foot, though he may have traveled before that.
