[@guglimugli]

it's gon be a blow out.. USA by 20+ KD and Steph will drop trey bombs.. Bron will get another triple double..

[@edwinpoon]

Hopefully, since USA just got a scare from Serbia, they won't get complacent again and require Sir Wardell to bail them out again.

[@SLICENSLASH]

I usually like Ephraim's Takes but hearing this old school mentality cant help but make me roll my eyes. There really No reason to be teaching young kids under 6'5" Postup Moves. Its pretty pointless. The handles & shooting theyre learning is actually more useful to them than postplay. Coaches teaching postmoves to 6'0" tall players are really doing themselves a favor more than helping the kid. Postplay is No longer a fixture in todays basketball, Not since the 3ball took over. It is something that can be added on to one's game once they see theyre growing to be over 6'5". Being confident with the ball as a shooter, dribbler, & passer is more important than Postplay. You are better off as a coach teaching them how to confidently Crash the Basket for Rebounds. That literally has more value.

There were missing 3 and can't score more than 90 points but USA can easily

[@mikeconley6331]

This game won’t be close USA no not to play around now after todays win , but a solid Big on Wemby like AD or Bam and it’s over

[@JG-mg3if]

You do know that Wemby has played good against those guys right? For the season i think he average over 25pg against AD.

[@mikeconley6331]

@@JG-mg3ifyeah but this is a team of all stars AD or Bam don’t have to guard him and try to drop 20-30 points and it’s way more physical in the Olympics

[@JG-mg3if]

@@mikeconley6331 yeah he has been struggling with the physically. It also doesn’t help that the coach keeps playing him on the perimeter , like they don’t have a pg or something. I do think this next game against the 🇺🇸 is going to be his best because his going to have more space to work with. It won’t be enough though but I can see him having a great game..

[@mikeconley6331]

@@JG-mg3if yeah he’s gona have to go all out this game but I think the larger the player u put on him the harder it’s gona be , I would even start with Embiid on him jus to be crazy physical to wear him down quick , it would be a good game but I think with the US being pushed so hard today they going to come out with a point to prove especially with this being the LAST game they can all GO ALL OUT … and that’s a scary thought lol

At this point, these cats just be reaching to produce a take why the USA will struggle. They been doing battle w/ arguably, the best player in the world, a post player, but Ephraim is pushing a Yabusele narrative. Bruh.

[@tonyochiha9798]

In 2028 Team USA isn't going to have cheat code offensive players like Curry and KD to bail them out. They better up their levels by then.

[@benitofranklyn4237]

Absolutely not. This is going to be an easy game again. The only consistent players have been forwards Yabusele, who plays like a young Barkley or Malone, incredible to watch, and to a lesser extend Cordinier. Fournier (G), Lessort (C), Wemby and Rudy all have to show up in top form, otherwise is going to be a blow out for Team USA. France has no other players that showed anything, so if all these guys have the game of their life it's maybe going to be competitive. And Wemby has been absolutely horrible offensively in the quarters and semis, 7pts, 2-10 FG, 0-6 3PT and 11pts, 4-17, FG 1-8 3PT, they are better off if he doesn't shoot at all, and nobody knows if Rudy can even play, his hand is hurt.
