2020 (now 2021) Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Closing ceremonies 8/8 | USA finishes with most gold, silver, bronze AND overall medals (1 Viewer)

France is the best team the US has played since those 2008/12 Spain teams. 
They are good - Gobert is a beast to deal with but honestly watching this reminds me why I hate Olympic basketball.  We are probably going to win but it’s a slog and we are playing awful.  I enjoy watching team basketball and France is doing that - we are playing like an all-star team.  Maybe I’m in the minority but this sucks.

We’ve played a lot better than this the last two games, in terms of movement and passing.

they aren’t playing like an all-star team at all. What do you mean? They’ve been excellent defensively for the entire two weeks. Offensively it’s difficult - 3 guys showed up the day before game 1.

Love that France guy doing the video replay signal to the ref every time something doesn't go his way.

Should have been more clear.  I haven’t watched a second until this game.  Understand I’m in the minority - just my take from this single game.

 
I will agree their defense has been really good and they’ve definitely played hard.  I’m more talking about their offensive strategy.

Yeah, I think it’s been sorta rough this game too. Gobert is a defense all by himself though. Against Spain and Australia they were driving and kicking and it was snappy AF

 
lord i hate the floating camera thing it makes me feel sick just give us regular coverage take that to the bank bromigos 

 
Also the US was really close to blowing it wide open a couple of times and just missed a few timely shots. This could have easily been a blowout. 40 minutes doesn’t do the more talented team any favors

Yea. France has the best defensive player in the world in Gobert and Batum can wreck the perimeter. Wonky team to play against. 

 
yea basically everybody. I don’t think Kawhi has ever played for the national team, doesn’t seem to be his thing. 
I’m probably just old and jaded so ignore me.  I don’t want to rain on the gold medal and I’m definitely happy we won - thought KD was fantastic.  It just seems like when our best guys go and show up ready to go we still are head and shoulders ahead of the other teams.  Those 6 guys would have won Gold or Silver if they were a separate group.
