No one shoots well when they are exhausted. That's the only difference I saw. Kudos to your Serbia though. It was nice to see the US players really earn a win for a change.

Fiba rules are just better, no? I mean, less downtime, more dynamic games, full court defense, travels are freaking called, and weird hooks from the offense are called as offensive fouls and not defensive fouls. Maybe FIBA rules on an NBA court?

[@pingguerrero3336]

The only problem with fiba rules is that the clock runs so fast and they might not generate much money on view duration (meaning, less commercials) also lesser timeouts. Plus in an 82 game, most nba players wouldn’t last with these kind of physicality and yet they downplay 80’s and 90’s basketball which this how they play before.

[@sarahphillips8987]

Agree

[@nankam]

The flow of the game is way better. It's like European soccer except basketball. The NBA could never adopt it though because showing commercials during all those stoppages in play is how they get the big TV contracts. (Same applies for Olympic hockey vs NHL hockey during the winter games).

Serbia was on fire for 3 quarters. The defensive pressure and attitude in the 4th by the US was amazing to watch.

[@student99bg]

The defensive intensity from Serbian players as well as their focus, concentration and discipline on defense disappeared in the 4th quarter. I don't know if they were tired, or if they thought the game was over, or if they got nervous when they realized they were probably going to win.

[@blowc1612]

What game were you watching?! The defense is one of the worst defense I have ever seen the whole game. The come back ONLY HAPPENED BECAUSE JOKIC GOT HIS 4TH FOUL. Funny how much of a casual people are, these guys CLEARLY avoided everything that happened in the game other than the Box Score AND DRAMA. They couldn't even identify THE VERY OBVIOUS GAME PLAN OF SERBIA. Yet people get their knowledge from these guys and spew it verbatim.

0/10 from 3 in the fourth and missing easy layups at the end caused the Serbian downfall. It’s like seeing Curry KD and LeBron hitting contested shots on one end while you’re missing wide open shots. Once they missed the wide open three to take back the lead at 86-84, I knew Serbia was mentally cooked.

[@WPwillsavetheworld]

The sequence of down 11..KD hit a 3 with an off the ball fall, we get it back and Devin Booker hit a 3 to make it a 5 point game, that sequence helped us. Also , Serbia up 2, 86-84 rebounded there own miss, and then missed a WIDE OPEN 3. USA came back , hit a 3 to go up 1. If Serbia hits that 3 to go up 5, that game might be over.

[@neomatt119]

From my perspective, several things happened in today's game. Team USA became overconfident after their two previous victories against Serbia. They didn't move the ball as they usually do and opted for a more individualistic style of play. On the other hand, Serbia, once they saw the first two or three three-pointers drop, gained momentum, and couldn’t seem to miss a shot even if they wanted to. I also believe that Steve Kerr's game plan wasn't the most appropriate today. Nevertheless, it was still a good win for the United States.

[@reeceaguilar8374]

I think we the USA were also rattled by Serbia s physical defense and we were struggling /hesistant to attack the paint when there were bodies in it. This isn't something we are used to in the NBA since that defense is basically banned.

Brou is 100% right. Kerr was consistent, he said it was about matchups and fit against Serbia, and he stuck to his guns in the rematch - and they won. Let's face it, the guys playing ahead of Tatum are Lebron and KD, two of the best ever to do it, and they delivered once again. Btw, I think it's highly debatable whether Tatum was actually better than either of them last season, he was on a very similar level and he played on a better team, and accolades like 1st team All-NBA tend to come with team success. Bottom line, they beat a really good team let by a three-time MVP who barely left the floor, and now they're playing for the gold. Like Brou said, 20 years from now nobody besides Tatum himself is going to care that Tatum sat against Serbia, they're just going to remember that Team USA won the game. If a motivated Tatum lights up the Warriors next year, then good for him, more power to him. But it's really not relevant to the discussion WIldes. Steve Kerr is not worried about that when making lineup decisions in the Olympics lol, nor should he be.
