Team USA plays Serbia today (Thursday) at 12 PM mountain time.

I couldn't find the game listed on my DirecTV schedule on NBC, although I will keep checking.

The Suns decided to bring in four quarterbacks (point guards) and a new head coach, so I'm going to see what happens.

On paper, they are a much better team.
Oh I’m very optimistic about the upcoming season. My point is, that optimism has nothing to do with Olympic play of either Durant or Booker.

I now see what you are saying. Still, I hope there is some carryover chemistry between Durant and Booker from the Olympics.

Serbia now up by 14 points. It's been all Stephen Curry with 17 points thus far. Serbia is shooting 14-20.

An angry Lebron makes a difference.

Serbia has tremendous ball movement and making open shots. Team USA not as much.

We look like dog doo-doo.

Steph is the only reason we’re not getting run off the floor.

Durant needs to be shooting those open shots.

I notice Team USA has left Jokic open for three point shots at the top of the key. He can make those, but perhaps Team USA is more concerned about his play making.

I know he's the leading scorer overall but Ant was horrible in the first half, multiple turnovers, missed shots and got roasted on defense. Hopefully the bench plays better

I like Lebron taking it to the basket. He is tough to handle down low.

Jokic rightly called for the hook to clear out.
