Predicting a Gold Medal game between USA and AUS.
Wow, Spain will not be in the Gold medal game, after 2 consecutive Olympics.

Are you watching the games?
Kyrie was better against France, but he is not leading this team anywhere. He is part of the problem. He is stopping the ball constantly in the half court. Most of his 12 assists came on broken plays and in transition, where he is great.
I understand the part about having the same group but I'm really not sure when they play. Especially the teams in South America. Its the World Championships, Olympics, and maybe they play 1 more tournament than we do
You think KD's just not playing serious ball lately?Argentina is old but its no coincidence the team played much better with Lowry taking more minutes from Irving. Really, the biggest adjustment (finally K does something) was decoupling Irving and Cousins. The two are unplayable since they are so dreadful on defense. We played Lowry with Cousins and Irving with Jordan while also using Green as center this game and that helped out a ton. Worked in Butler into the game more as well. Maybe the team has finally found a balance that'll work. It also helps that KD decided to show up and take a game seriously
Melo, Durant, Cousins, George, Derozan, Lowry, Irving all have that "too many chefs in the kitchen" vibe going on. The reason the last teams were MORE successful was because you had guys like Iguodala, Lebron, CP3 and others facilitating for others.
Too many chefs in the kitchen is why GS will fail this year. Also Klay shooting 30% in the Olympics isn't helping USA.

GS really only have 2-3 chefs in the kitchen. 3 is being generous. It is more like 2
So team USA game is 230 EST on Friday. Why would you put it at that time? I'm freaking livid. Why not put Australia/Serbia at that time and have USA/Spain at 6 PM. Makes no damn sense. Unfreaking believable

Australia/Serbia is probably the better (closer) game.
just fyiIt's really only 2 because Steph and KD will have the ball in their hands the majority of the time. Draymond is a secondary handler and passer off the P&R, and Klay doesn't create his own offense and will be coming off screens, which he normally does anyways.
People are way over thinking this. Klay and Draymond do NOT have to change their roles at all. Steph is the one who will have to adjust with not having the ball as much. But then you have Steph coming off screens more for open shots? Oh my.
If you honestly took a realistic comparison of the Thunder team last year, and the Warriors team this coming year, basically what you did was substitute Klay Thompson for Andre Roberson. You think if the Thunder had a lineup of Westbrook, Klay, Durant, Ibaka and Adams, they wouldn't have won the whole thing? Now instead you have Curry, Klay, Durant, Green and Pachulia.
just fyi
Steph had 20 shots a game last year
Klay 17 shots
Draymond 10
Durant 19
you dont think that will have to change this year? thats 70 shots. i honestly dont know- asking your opinion.
