Embiid is just terrible out there.

Bogging everything down

Yeah I have a hard time rooting for this team with that slug getting so many minutes

This was the 2nd unit they liked in the warm-ups only with Durant in there now instead of Teatum. The double big frontcourt. Bam and AD. A big SF. Ant at SG alongside a big guard.

Same with Kerr as coach. Choked in the worlds and is doing it again

These all stars have no idea how to play with each other.  So often they just stand and stare at the guy with the ball.

You know what would be helpful for team usa? A 6'9/6'10 wing who plays elite defense, averages 25+ points and is a good passer.

Nah that's ridiculous. Let's keep 6'4 "defensive specialist" Booker in at the 3

Everything about him is annoying.

Wow, great response by Serbia. I thought they were on the verge of falling apart when Team USA cut to deficit to 6 but great finish to Q3 to push the lead to 15. Now 13.

Gives them a cushion heading into the fourth. They'll need it.

Hate to say it but I?m rooting for Serbia to close this out. Can?t root for Embiid and Tatum unable to get meaningful minutes makes this a clown show. Kerr is a literal moron.

Play your scorers

G: Steph
G: Ant
F: Durant
F: LeBron
C: AD

Guys who will be aggressive looking for their shot. Plus AD to be the defensive pillar to hold things together.

I haven't been able to watch this game.  How is our def?   Are they burning Embiid with his lack of foot speed?

Yes, him and Curry have been getting taken advantage of constantly on the perimeter. Embiid is also flopping his way to an early grave out there.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.
