    Durant has to start in more important games while JayT awaits his time.

    Missed the first 5 minutes because Peacock wouldn’t start showing the game while Simone Biles was kicking ass. Then they go to commercial. Then they go to game lol. Not sure the use of an app showing simultaneous events if you’re not gonna show the events simultaneously on your silly app.

    I’d be thrilled if Embiid was playing for someone else

    Embiid drives me nuts. Takes bad shots, turnovers, and doesn’t run back on defense

    Tatum, Haliburton and Embid had games with little to no minutes. Some it for match up reasons, others for performance. Finite number of minutes.

    If Steph plays badly and shows his age, Kerr won't bench him, even if Spo and Lue are secretly thinking it.

    The margin of error for this team is huge. They don't need to bench anyone. I need to watch a game, but it looks like the intangible type issues this team had have been resolved. That covers up any technical issues it might have with shooting or whatever.

    The only difficult game to predict is the Canada/Germany semi-final. I think Germany has a legit chance to beat Canada.
    I suppose one could also argue Serbia/Australia is in doubt.

    Yes, fully agree that Germany and Canada have the best ensembles, best overall teams......in that bracket.

    Serbia has not convinced me so far ......I thought they would be hitting on all cylinders.

    Wemby or Giannis going crazy .....looking less and less likely, I am missing Luka Doncic in elimination games.
