Edwards showing how versatile his game is was fun to watch today.
And at this point, I’m convinced Curry is sand bagging so he can show out in the Gold Medal Game.

There’s always a player in the Olympics/FIBA that lets the world know that he’s coming. Off the top of my head, DRose and KD had that moment in 2010. Anthony Edwards is having that moment in this Olympics. He’s ready to take over the league next season.

Anthony Edwards is so much fun to watch, I’m happy he’s in the West because I don’t want to watch him cooking my team regularly lol

At this rate, other teams should get to pick one player who isn’t starting so that they can add him to their roster before playing USA. This team is just too deep.

I would say minutes gotta tighten up soon, but we’re gonna play Brazil in the QF, so not yet.

embiid with the ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED made me lmao. then almost gets stolen and airballs. love it

USA blowout and embiid and tatum both got heavy minutes, finally a positive postgame thread!
IceTruckHouse
Feels like the chemistry is good when the second unit just let Ant cook.
GamingOni
That 2nd Q run from the US was the story of the game imo. 39-16 is just crazy
you-cut-the-ponytail
The amount of boos Embiid is getting was crazy lmao. There’s an equal amount of cheers when he scored too. I’ve never seen a stadium so divided.

Can you imagine playing a Olympic game and your hall of fame teammates just letting you iso every point? Ant must be dreaming rn
GRILT_CHEESE
Nice games from the two most hated guys on this sub, Tatum and Embiid
incredibleamadeuscho
Absolutely dominant performance by USA
NoKnowsPose
I hate the Game Threads. It is just a whole bunch of hating and negativity against the US players by what seems to be Americans. So weird.

We need Lebron with the headband for the rest of the tournament

Ant was a beast. Game mvp

I have zero takeaways from a group stage win against Puerto Rico, who was a heavy underdog in this game.

r/nba racking their brain for ways to blame Embiid and Tatum for not contributing enough to this 21 point win

Tatum with the silent double-double I see 👀

That behind the back pass by lebron was smooth

Why no Tatum posts today?
imonfireahh
That second quarter by LeBron was a passing master class holy

The ball movement was incredible. Love how selfless folks were apart from ant’s isos because he was hot. Don’t see any team upsetting them if they play like this

Super proud of my guy Jose Alvarado. Dude willed his country to the Olympics.
JJVM99
Well the best player of my nba team just destroyed my country which leaves with mixed feelings since I want to see Ant do great but I would prefer if it happened against another team or in a loss against PR (in that miracle scenario). Its a shame that PR lost all their games but im just going to be happy that I got to see my country participate in the olympics for the first time since I was a child. So im just going to appreciate the experience to qualify and celebrate that win against Lithuania. Men’s Basketball in the olympics is definetly one of the hardest tournaments to qualify in general, so many good teams miss out every olympics its crazy.
Also shoutouts to the Puerto Rican women’s basketball team. They also lost all their games but im glad that they also qualified and 2 of their loses were one score games atleast.

I’m impressed how competitive a team from a place as small as Puerto Rico can be against this USA team. Itd be like taking only players from Oklahoma and somehow not getting beat by 50

Anthony’s gotta chill he’s out for blood
USA is too deep — rinse and repeat.
