I guess white wasn?t just a late add for a body. Kerr loves him

Yeah I don't understand why Tatum is so deep on the bench. He's arguably the biggest jack of all trades on the squad this year. Shouldn't he be viable with almost any lineup?

Did Tatum miss curfew or something? Him not playing is just weird

Devin Booker is so lightweight. It makes you wonder how good he would have been in past generations like the 1990s when defenses were allowed be more physical.

How is Booker getting more minutes than Tatum? Booker is lost

Is Tatum hurt? In trouble? This makes no sense

8-0 run by Serbia lead down to 2.  Embiid has been bad.  If KD hadn?t been going off we would be in trouble.

Embiid and Booker by far the worst players on this team.

First half observations:

Where the heck is Tatum?

Curry is a defensive liability and teams are going to take advantage of that (I expect to see a lot of Jrue down the stretch)

Soon to be 40 year old Lebron is still the best all around player on this team.

More AD/Bam and less Embiid is better for this team. Embiid looks slow, lazy, and disinterested. Maybe he?s letting the crowd get to him.

Booker is playing far too many minutes given his defensive limitations. I think Ant Edwards should take his spot. And Tatum too.

Give KD the ball and good things will happen. He?s playing that Olympic Melo role, just putting the ball in the hoop and can?t be stopped.
