    bron and jrue play so well off each other, glad to see embiid get in a rhythm

    The fact that every other game today was tightly contested and competitive throught out meanwhile the USA Brazil game turned into garbage time after the 1st half is insane work lmfao.

    122 points in a 40-minute game. What the actual fuck 😭

    Forcing the ball to Embiid early actually paid off today and once he got going, the rest of the first unit followed and was able to stretch the lead out and never looked back.

    Booker with the great performance today knocking down 5/7 from three and defending well, LeBron continuing to facilitate leading the way with 9 assists (despite leaving the game with his presumed innocuous injury) and the team shooting 47% from three although that revealed a surprising stat — Curry and Durant are the only two that failed to make a three of all players that attempted at least one.

    And shout out to Kevin Durant becoming the all time leading scorer in US Olympic history surpassing Lisa Leslie.

    It was a kinda interesting game until it wasn’t.

  6. atlfirsttimer

    So what are we gonna complain about today?

  7. Anoki12

    Embiid started hooping and everyone suddenly turned into Stevie Wonder.

  8. LegitimateMoney00

    Serbia should be light work also, just have to contain Jokic.

  9. x_TDeck_x

    2 more games then whoever has the Olympic leadup receipts is sitting on a gold mine

  10. Embiid needs to be as engaged as he was today for the rest of the tournament.

    Here to see what the r/nba nephews manage to bitch and moan about this time.

  12. OKC2023champs

    What a very close, competitive, engaging game of basketball

  13. Just dominating every team in the olympics.

  14. FinalFrash

    KD is now the all-time Olympic scorer for both the Men and Women. And he did it so nonchalantly

  15. Shoutout to the two years from being two years away guy for putting up 30 this game after having 33 the game before as well

  16. OmgItsQu

    does brazil not know usa’s bigs can shoot

  17. maiL_spelled_bckwrds

    What a superb day. Embiid with a great game, Canada losing to France and Raptors fans in shambles.

  18. Renegadeforever2024

    Folks thought the USA wasn’t going to kick everyone ass in these Olympics

    Looking at you: angry old hoops fan

  19. Embiid definitely getting thrown out of the game in the NBA if he tells the crowd to suck it that many times

  20. kingkongkeom

    Garbage time from middle of 1st quarter on…

  21. RTRSnk5

    An entire 2nd half of garbage time is insane work by our guys 😂💀

  22. thesecondfire

    Brazil only shot 73% from the line 

     Hard to win if you don’t make your free throws, kids

  23. MojoPinSin

    Refs gonna have to put on one hell of a performance to keep Serbia in the game.

  24. Farter22

    It felt like the US could have won the game even if it was 4v5 the whole time

    Im just glad both teams had fun

  25. OrangeJr36

    Jeanie Buss is a basketball terrorist.

    How do Lebron and AD have only one Finals appearance against a team that absolutely had no business getting out of the second round?

  26. restless_vagabond

    Great game by the US, but my wife is seriously doubting me when I tell her Steph Curry is the best 3 pt shooter alive.

  27. informantfuzzydunlop

    The US doing this without Curry shooting well is crazy.

  28. gustasvos

    bro you guys have KD on bench what can we do it’s not fair 😭

  29. DXLXIII

    Lebron and AD using this Olympics to get their licks back on Jokic and erase some PTSD 😈

  30. Thorlolita

    You know this game was a blowout when max contract all-star conference finalist star player Haliburton is getting minutes

  31. InspirationalSkyFuck

    Why is it so hard to fine a clean highlight reel of this game. Box scores were buried too. lol.

  32. BradyReas

    I only come to this sub for Embiid slander wtf
