They couldn't have Ibaka and Mirotic on the same squad. Mirotic was better for them than Ibaka because he provided more offense.

Correct.

So the only key guy missing was Marc.

nbcolympics.com still the best place to catch these games, but you know, lots of links out there

If we're talking about missing guys, USA are missing the most guys.

LeBron + Curry + Westbrook and this tournament's a wrap from Day 1.

Good game by the US. Can't help but feel that Spain couldn't make them pay though. Fernandez was a little sparatic out there and took a few bad shots. Game was close but USA was in control at all times.

same takeaway I got from this match too

 

[noblekane]

would love to see an olympic team of

jordan
davis
james
curry
paul

would be blow out city even with marc gasol

 

[darthska]

Man, if Spain would have had Marc and Ibaka, 

What if we had LEGOLD AND STEPH???

Oh, no doubt. I get that all of our best ain't out there, either. Just saying, with this game, if Marc and Ibaka were in, yikes.

on to the gold medal game

This is what I was referring to when I said the game was closer than it should have been. Spain never seriously threatened in the second half. Should have been a double figure win, but the US probably played its worst ball of the game during the last 2 minutes.

Told y'all Rudy was trash he plays like a damn 12 year old with the hero shots.

 

[darthska]

Serbia 'bout to get curbstomped, methinks.

Hmmm. US advanced to the finals. Who'da thunk it.

From the looks of this game US should have this sewed up early on Sunday

 

[pjdabullsfan]

Australia looks terrible

 

[krispacinla]

DAMM The aussies looking like trash right now.....

word. Regardless of opponent, Aus looking like they rattled off their game so easy. And good luck trying to defend Kyrie with those [emoji]128012[/emoji] guards.

Serbia is always a tough out. They also have big tournament experience.
